alt Hacker NewsOn the other hand, if you swap "Linux" and "Windows" in your complaint, you get my experience.
Windows is a hassle to get working for advanced use cases, and then every quarter they nuke my settings via windows update.
I just can't do it. I managed to go about 6 months last year on Windows for the first time since ~2010, but nope. Not worth it.
This mirrors my experience.
Windows gives you nice sliders for things, which they will happily break on a whim. Linux forces you to memorize a Lovecraftian string of characters to do something, but it will generally stick for a long time.
I use both, with differing ideologies. My Linux is heavily customized with keybinds and semi-niche software that enables my workflows because I know it will stick. On my Windows machines, I've accepted that Microsoft owns that machine and I have to adapt my workflow to fit their sensibilities.
