I don't hate Windows 10 by any means, I just find Linux works better for me.
I use a Thinkpad and all the drivers work fine without tweaking, so that's not an issue for my setup.
Personally, I just really like the little features I get with Linux.
For example, I have a little script that recognizes when I insert a certain encrypted SD card, and automatically copies over some config files from my home directory.
There may be a way to do that on Windows, it's just so much easier on Linux that Windows doesn't seem worth the trouble.
- Kuinox 6y agoIt's much easier on Linux because you know how to do it on Linux.
- slipheen 6y agoTotally could be! I'm sure a bunch of people are more familiar with Windows, so they find that easier. There's probably a way to do it with Powershell and the Event Viewer. But since I personally find Linux more straightforward, it makes sense to me to use Linux on bare metal when I can :)
- holtalanm 6y agoAll of your statements make perfect sense. I was more addressing the comments that were acting like Windows was some kind of toxic sludge they had to swim through to get to a linux install.
- Lio 6y agoMuch of that stems from the days when Microsoft used to threaten OEMs that offered an alternative to Windows. I don't want to use Windows. That's not because Windows is bad it's because I like Linux and want to have good Linux experience. That Microsoft has previously used try to stop that leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
