See, this is exactly the problem I have with Windows. It's full of obscure exes and undiscoverable settings (wtf is the registry? fuck). It's like I'd have to have years of experience (since 98 or something) to understand fully. Also it has compatibility issues out the butt with hardware that 'justworks' on linux.
With windows 10, this has gotten /way/ worse. Sure bluetooth works out of the box, but sometimes it just disapperates. I'm doing like, rain dances and getting tons of wrong answers out of google, only to find out that somehow Windows decided to turn the radio off, and there's actually no way to re-enable it except booting into linux because when the radio's off, windows says the hardware is physically /not there/.
I install it for a while, play some steam games, then usually just boot it out and go back to linux.
It's generally hard to switch operating systems, not just one way.
- pgug 10y agoI agree that Windows is insanely hard to use. I helped someone get their new windows computer up and running and I spent more than an hour figuring how to make it not open MSN.com every time it booted, I had to edit some registry key.
- herbst 10y agoAgreed. Beeing used to Linux Windows is the most complicated operating system ever. 98 and XP kind of were still easy but now... I picked up using mac easily, as well as even more obscure systems.
