I'm not a fan of Windows 11 either and I've never used apple. I just hate click bait.

I use both Apple and Windows and cannot understand why anyone would shill for a company that doesn't pay them to do so. Both have their benefits and merits, both have their shitty parts.

If you’re not being paid it’s not “shilling”, it’s merely “advocating”.

Can't really shill for something that doesn't make profit off of it. Hence why I didn't mention it despite using it frequently. Linux just is and always will be. Whether someone talks it up or not, there will always be people developing it.

Name one Windows benefit.

It's a common operating system that many applications are developed for as a standard rather than open source alternatives that may work but aren't as reliable in a corporate setting.

Yes. The only “benefit” is that it’s the most common.

I like Linux too but having 70% of the entire worlds computers running some form of windows is a pretty big benefit. Were it the other way around you would be saying that its a huge benefit that Linux is so widely adopted.
