I switched to Linux last year and it's an absolute dream in comparison.
Using Windows when Linux is available is just like using WhatsApp when Signal is available. It's a matter of mass-adoption and really not much more (ie the platforms are nearly functionally identical). So help spread the word! :-)
- shric 3y ago> Using Windows when Linux is available is just like using WhatsApp when Signal is available. Are you saying that Signal is better than WhatsApp more than just philosophically? I've been using both WhatsApp and Signal for years and I find it difficult to say which is better from a UI/UX point of view. However, I prefer my Linux desktop (Fedora/Sway) to my Windows 11 desktop experience in every way I can think of.

- dizhn 3y agoIt is not immune to enshittification though. I currently have a notification from a parcel delivery guy I added to my contacts at some point at the top of the GUI. It's the new story functionality. O already switched to Nekogram on Android which so far does not have that feature but both web clients recently got it too. (It should be reletively easy to remove it from the open source clients though)
- ivolimmen 3y agoI would not say functionally identical but more productivity tools are available on all platforms. For a developer I can only say that it is a must to use Linux. No emulation required to run docker for instance...
