Windows 11. Don’t @ me, I don’t have the mental or physical energy to deal with Linux. I’ve never had a Linux install that’s had close to everything working, there’s always a device (network, sound, graphics, usb toaster) that doesn’t work and attempts to follow people’s instructions to fix it either make it worse or just do nothing.
Maybe I’m just useless or unlucky, but I’m due to die in a few decades and I don’t have time to deal with that nonsense when Windows does everything I want it to.
theres wayyy more windows 11 users than linux users but this is the one place the “enlightened pc users” cam flex their ability to navigate a command prompt
windows runs fine, plays every game, software is generally made for it, people who dont like it have a very niche issue with it which is fine
but its a good OS if you just want to use your computer like a normal human
Windows 11 user here too. I just install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) as an alternative as I’m too used to the Windows interface. Maybe one day I’ll fully switch.
Recently switched back to Windows. I had Pop OS working pretty well with some workarounds for some of my favorite games, but taking time to get them working was draining.
that’s ok we all have our reasons to use whatever we are using.
Im using windows but dual boot arch sometimes for coding because I own a 9 year old nvidia card. Fuck you nvidia !
I will switch uninstall windows as soon as I have enough money to upgrade to an amd gpu.
I use windows 10 simply because it just works for my needs. Its just customizable enough for me and I’ve tried Linux and it’s too much effort to get everything I use working on there. I mostly use my PC for gaming anyways and then my laptop for work.

Windows has a command prompt, and you can even install a Linux shell on it and use that if you need/want to these days. Windows Subsystem for Linux.

WSL was cool but couldn’t do all the things I need

I heard a saying once, “Linux is for people who don’t value their time”
Thought it was pretty funny

My entire homelab is Linux based. Still use Windows on my desktop.
I totally get that Linux is excellent, but the Linux community can be exhausting sometimes.
“It’s so easy to use these days!” is rapidly followed by “You just need to grep the package and recompile it for your kernel.”
