> Windows also sometimes has these kinds of problems
Undeniably, over many years of using Windows I've had many problems. But never this amount on a fresh install. And most windows problems can be fixed with driver updates or changed settings. Linux problems pretty much all require you to be comfortable entering console commands, which the vast majority of people are not.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoAs mentioned, every windows install will want to run obscure disk cli to free up tons of disk space and probably a few powershells to stop ads, telemetry. Sometimes malware mitigations. Not all of them have gui options. Every OS I spend several hours setting up. At least with Linux I’ve automated it.

However, I'm well aware of those problems with Windows. I switched, after all. However, you know what Windows doesn't do? Force me to keep opening my laptop screen to get a login on my external monitor, which I don't think is fixable. Or reset my laptop screen brightness to minimum every day so that I can't even see the login prompt without closing the curtains.
