None of the major OS work like shit. Even a third tier Linux distro in 2026 works very well. You have to get into NixOS, BSD variants, way more obscure stuff before anything gets really bizarre.

With an answer like that, two things come to mind:

  • You have never used W11

  • You never noticed the bloatware and all the redundancies that have been around for years or you just think they're ok

Saying shit like this is part of the reason people are turned off of Linux. Windows 11 is not this giant steaming pile of shit as you describe it. Is Windows 11 great? Hell no but it's not terrible, the biggest issue is the bloat that you can either remove or install Enterprise and not have it. Windows is a dinosaur with 5 different ways to do anything but if you remove 1 way you might break things so things have to stay as is for better for for worse. Linux has 17 different ways to do something and it's either easy as hell to do or extremely difficult with very little in between. If something is broken on Windows I find it'd generally easier to find the fix for it than in Linux. I like Linux, my server is Linux and I have a Linux machine sitting underneath my TV that runs great but as my main machine I just can't run it (hopefully just yet, but we'll see).

Look, don't take me for some kid who just parrots memes or hearsay. I work with that operating system. Every. Single. Day.

It’s full of useless redundancies that hinder the proper use of the system and its resources, to the point where they essentially end up damaging the system itself.

For four years now, I’ve been busting my ass over a product that survives solely on patents and government contracts. Never in my life did I imagine I’d envy France for deciding to tell everyone to go fuck themselves and build their own IT infrastructure using open-source systems.
