> It might seem less biased if there was a subsystem-by-subsystem scorecard, showing positives and "needs work" items side-by-side. And then we'll have wars on what's serious and what's not. Year, right. :-)

For the past four weeks a single person has been banned because he was obsessed with the Linux kernel and dismissed the entire article because of that. Nice you've discovered that while overlooking the other 3000 comments. That's

Inherent X.org issues have never been solved. Why does it matter what the date of the linked article is?

The article says that native Linux filesystems _are_ case-sensitive and that could be an issue for users. I've been working with computers for over 30 years and I haven't had a single case when I needed hello and HELLO in the same

Again you offer people to work/invest more just to comply with Linux for very dubious benefits if any. This is not how businesses operate.

This will always be hamstrung by the lack of stable APIs - the issue which Google is so fed up with, they are in a process of writing their own microkernel, zircon. You might have noticed that Android phones are supported at most for three

Linux is not winning on mobile in any shape or form. All mobile vendors use a highly-customized Linux kernel which has nothing to do with mainline and aside from the kernel, there's not much to write home about. So, maybe Bryan could h

I love it. It's a stripped down to the bare bones Windows 10 which doesn't include UWP apps (except the core ones, like the start menu and PC settings) and which allows to disable pretty much all the telemetry. Also, it's roc

4. Sadly nowadays it's one of the worst UIs. It was great starting with Windows 95 and ending with 7. It all went downhill starting with Windows 8. Windows 10 isn't much better.

5. It's not about policing - it's about knowing what's being launched on startup and at least being able to disable items one by one to understand the root cause of your slow boots (and even that doesn't always help sinc

The last Windows version where updates worked more or less OK was XP. With Vista they introduced WinSxS and while in theory it was a great idea, it incurred some extremely heavy tradeoffs in terms of updates.

It depends on your hardware. If you have everything Intel based then yeah, it almost just works, except the i915 driver occasionally has huge regressions, Mesa sometimes has huge regressions, and the kernel itself oftentimes has huge regres

Exactly. Lots of utilities which disable telemetry automatically are invasive as hell and sometimes break your Windows installation.

MacOS doesn't have 95% of the listed issues. And we don't have any other desktop OSes which are ready for prime time.

I'm not a fanboy of any OS in existence but 1. Most tech-illiterate people are afraid of using regedit and/or GPO to disable Cortana so the point is valid. 2. Disk fragmentation has become an even bigger issue since Windows 10 doe
