i dont like linux nor use it

What is this? Arguing with a 5yo? No offense but do you genuinely believe “I don’t like X” without even explaining why could lead to interesting conversations? Do better. At least provider argument on why you like Windows (there are actually some good reasons, even for people who don’t like Microsoft) and why you don’t like Linux (there also are good reason).

You’re not actually “intersed” otherwise you’d have at least bothered to link to couple articles, videos, etc arguing either way and would have at least taken the time to write 2 sentences properly.

Blocked as I have to assume it’s either engagement bait or just the laziest person on Earth.

I use Windows at work. It’s not a personal computer. It’s a computer controlled by microsoft, capital, etc.

In my personal life I prefer freedom and control.

Honestly, in terms of the actual system architecture, I prefer NT’s object-based approach to the the file-based design that Linux (and other Unix systems) use.

The best part of Linux is the license. The OS can definitely be rough around the edges and have some maddening problems. But it still feels like something that is built and maintained by actual users rather than by a corporation that’s slowly trying to milk you for all you’re worth.

OP is a troll. Likes windoze and clearly states doesn’t like or use Linux so why TF even ask, especialy in a Linux community…

It doesn’t hide what’s under the hood and permits to fix/modify it. Yes, I’m a nerd.

I like the way Linux handles updates. I like the way it handles privacy (opt-in instead of opt-out) I like the fact that I’m never forced to do anything (going to windows 11, keeping bloat software, updates) I like that it is light and quick. I like to be able to choose a desktop environment and distro. I like that it is open-source and I don’t want to use US big tech corpo. I like that it does not try to sell me anything.

I don’t like not being able to play some games and printer setup.

I don’t like being used or taken advantage of. Simple as. When you have a Microsoft product, you are used by Microsoft. You PAY them for their operating system and then they SPY on your computer interactions. You buy their product and then you become their product as they make money off of tailoring ads to you based on where your mouse moves, what you click on, the contents of the files that you upload to OneDrive (that they then use to train Copilot with).

Linux is a tool. It helps me interface with the computer. It doesn’t have an agenda behind it that involves exploiting me for money. Linux is built on the assumption that humans are humans and not wealth extraction batteries.

Linux is an operating system. It handles your system resources and makes them available to your applications. It was built by devs who tried to make the system good.

Windows is a marketing tool. It is designed to get the user to subscribe to the cloud services that make Microsoft money.
It was built by devs who tried to make the system profitable.

Because it just works. I don’t have to worry about new features being pushed out that break prod

And because it does what it’s told

the UI is incomparably better. the error messages are much more sensible and give you a chance to fix things.

Linux does what I tell it to.

Windows does what it wants. Either what it thinks I want it to do, or what Microsoft wants me to do.

Considering I paid for my computer, I like having control over it. It’s that simple.

Linux isn’t better than windows, it is a different ideology based on choice, it better meets our use and privacy goals. It is not loaded with “AI” yet, glaring at you Canonical, and for my needs it works with very minimal tinkering (add an app, change a setting)

I like being able to choose my desktop environment.

I like knowing I’m not being spied on (although I did set my telemetry to max telemetry).

I like how Linux will keep supporting my hardware near indefinitely.

Everything everyone else said, but also it literally has more features. KDE Plasma and apps like Dolphin make Windows look like a toy.

I’m a tinkerer. It’s made for people like me that like to take stuff apart and put it back together to see how it works. It also, quite literally, does EXACTLY as I tell it and set it up to operate. It doesn’t do disrespectful shit like revert my default browser settings to Edge. It is MY operating system and MY computer to 100% control however I wish, not some stale-ass predatory slop-driven corporation’s.
