I've been using Windows on a development machine that has seen the last 5 releases of VS installed and then upgraded every time. It was a Windows 10, migrated in place from Windows 8 computer, with a mechanical 5400rpm drive and 16GB RAM. I complained as much as I could to my manager about its boot times (10 minutes to even have an operational OS), but once it booted, it was ok. I could work all week just by hibernating it and shutting it down only when leaving on Friday. It ran SSMS along VS and other software like Meld, Teams, Outlook, two browsers, and Sublime text. It was fine. I have been using MS OSes since DOS4, and while Linux is my daily driver at home, I think modern Windows is ok. It can be operated instantly by anyone with low computer knowledge. It is kind of reliable. Posts like this just follow a stupid sentiment. All of it reads like "OMG, Windows is so bad, amirite" and boiling it down it ends up just being virtue signaling to show the world the author uses Linux.
