Anywhere but lemmy, this wouldn’t be unpopular ;)

I don’t agree with the opinion, having recently been forced to do shit on Windows 11 and ran into so many issues because of microsoft that it was infuriating. Since Microsoft insists on baking in their bullshit and making it hassle to navigate around, I say that that is also a flaw in windows.

But I used to mostly like windows. Win7 in particular fit my needs as well or better at the time than mu current distro of choice does now.

I will add the caveat that before proton, that was less true because gaming sucked on linux for me before proton happened. But almost everything else was better, so I sucked it up for daily driving and only used win7 for gaming and music management/listening.

Now, I only use my win7 install for musicbee. I mean, I do use it for other things while it’s booted up, but I dunno if solitaire is a relevant use for this discussion lol.

I’ll also say that, depending on distro, linux can be a pain in the ass to some degree or another, even after the learning curve is handled. Not worse than windows, just in slightly different ways (wifi issues in particular can be a bitch to handle)
