Windows is better and more efficient than it ever was, thanks to many improvements since Windows 8. https://np.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/74xc2z/windows_and_efficiency/ https://np.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/74xc2z/windows_an... Most default Windows apps are UWP with Fluent Design now, and more are migrating towards that since they have major advantages that you won't find on Mac and most Linux distros https://np.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/75lgti/announcing_uwp_support_for_net_standard_20/do7ifkr/ https://np.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/75lgti/announcing... Also, your other points mostly contain misinformation.

I never claimed windows hasn't been getting better in other departments. And I'll agree that a default Windows install is probably more battery efficient than a default Linux install. But that wasn't the point. To respond to your point specifically, I said the UX in windows 8/10 is terrible. I hope it gets better, but right now, strictly speaking, win7 was the last time windows had a cohesive UX. And please tell where the misinformation is. Mandatory updates were a thing[0] (seems they fixed that, good). The wifi card problem on surface pros is documented[1]. The explorer does break the hierarchy analogy consistently, you can see by yourself that the location bar doesn't show the full hierarchy when you access "Libraries" (whatever those are). When you claim misinformation, please say what is. It might allow me, or you, or someone else in this thread, to learn something !
