This is a bit beside the point, but I have trouble understanding why someone who is willing to put some work into configuring their computer still uses Windows. Just use Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu and stay away from those ads.
Compatibility with MS Office might be a plausible explanation, but even then you can throw it in a VM until you find a way to get rid of it.
- MiddleEndian 5y agoHonestly I like the application selection of Windows better, although I don't use MS Office at all. The Adobe suite (particularly Photoshop, After Effects) is pretty unparalleled, despite Adobe's irritating behavior overall. I like Notepad++ better than other GUI text editors, I like Ditto better than other clipboard managers (although Klipper is pretty good). WSL allows me to do Linux style development reasonably well, handles about everything except systemd. I'm releasing a game (eventually, life got in the way!) for Windows and potentially some future games for Windows. They'll also support Linux of course, but Linux on Windows is an easier task than the other way around. Windows also has very good UI scaling and pen support in the form of their tablets. That being said, after I no longer need to do video editing so my Adobe Suite usage will be back to just Photoshop, I'll investigate switching back to Linux as my primary OS again with my next laptop.
