- gumballindie 3y agoI have to admit, I run windows on one machine for a bunch of non wine friendly apps. I al considering a linux phone too at some point. At least i installed windows offline, but my god is that os a fractal of stupidity. It’s like each time i turn it on there’s something dumb it tries doing. Last time 20gb of disk space just vanished, and i did nothing. Transferring data, pc to pc, over a 2.5gb/s network and 10gb/s cable runs at a whopping 80 megs. I disabled windows firewall because it’s a home network anyway and i dont care - i get a popup that i cant disable to turn it back on. Then there’s a bloody edge process running in the background though i am not using edge for anything! I cant alt tab without using the mouse…their window snapping feature is cool but if i try to snap a second window it “forgets” the proportions i used before. I cant find pcs on my own network all of a sudden! I have two partitions and i cant resize the first only the second. Not to mention I cant move program files to another partition. Oh and the installer wont even support my touchpad and wireless - which are of course natively supported by Linux. The list goes on and on and on. I cant blame their devs, i can see product management written all over these “features”.
