    I recon its because nearly everyone who uses windows hates it, and with MacOS and Linux there are proud users.

        Imagine being proud of using Microsoft!

        At least Apple makes decent hardware (and questionable software practices). But at least macOS is true Unix. With WSL now I’m not really sure which experience is better.

        I’d still take Linux any time.

            They have the best ARM CPUs in any consumer product and very good software/hardware security. I hate Apple because their shit is overpriced and locked-down but that doesnt mean its garbage.

              Agreed. ipads and iphones being locked as a platform, i would never buy them. The PCs? You can install Linux and be happy with it (if you’re lucky enough).

                  I don’t understand why you are being so impolite.

                  I understand making fun of apple shills, it’s not a mature thing to do, but I get it. I just want to point out that being so “anti shill” is just as cringe.

                  Why do you care about what other people buy? We are having a technical discussion about different platforms, and your whole argument is “lmao buying apple”.

              • It’s corporate trash. Fuck Apple and their fanboys.

              • It’s poor people’s idea of pricey hardware.

              • It’s unusable crap with horrendous design.

              • My CPU positively destroys anything made by those idiots.

                • It’s corporate trash but still does a couple things right
                • Your CPU uses 5 times the energy and gets way hotter
                • You can hate apple but also see the couple of things they do correctly.
                • Yes Linux is better in every way except it’s a bit more to maintain, but I personally find it worth the effort.

                  • That goes for qny company. Zero points.

                  -Yes, it’s better.

                  • The only thing they’re good at is marketing and you’re falling for it. It’s technology for tech illiterate idiots.

                  • Linux fucks every other OS.

    I’ve been using both for about 20 years. I can honestly say most people can and should use both.

    I just wiped a trash celeron pc that ran windows awful. I put Ubuntu 24 LTS on it and it screams. Took about an hour.

    If you have old hardware that you want to extend the life of or repurpose, consider Linux before buying something new.

        because they want to see ads in their start menu, send their pictures to some MS servers and have their notepad.exe crawl and crash because of AI.

        you know, all the fun stuf…
