Sorry, very much disagree:

- c# is a great language that is looked down on by people who haven't used it.

- typescript is also amazing and has helped massively in web front end development and backend.

- .net is cross platform especially in the backend world.

- windows backwards compatibility and hardware support is way better than the alternatives.

- yeah windows 11 is full of so much adware crap it's a shame but i recently switchedy home desktop back to it after giving up trouble shooting a network card driver issue on Linux. The same issue I've encountered multiple times over 22 years running on different hardware.

- and all my gog games just work on windows :)

- yes I know proton, it's amazing, I have a steam deck, but not everything works easily or at all.
