I think in threads where an obviously well-informed computer user asks a question about how to accomplish something or troubleshoot something in Windows, it’s pretty much never helpful to recommend using Linux instead. They probably know about Linux. They either must, or want to use Windows. It’s a pretty common occurrence, however.
Though these days, you might get to recommend Linux anyway by saying “you should use wsl2.”
It definitely has many compromises and I wouldn’t use it for hosting something in production or something like that. (Is that something people do?) It is situationally very useful though, usually for things I used to spin up a VM for. I’m happy to have it available as a tool when I need to use Windows.
i can but i don’t want to :)
browse any OS related post under c/all, they will find you
You complain about OS recomendations under OS related posts?

You really really shouldn’t. It sucks in a number of ways neither Windows nor Linux do by themselves.
