I'm 100% positive that for every single instance of Linux having some driver issue, I can find 10 times the amount of issues on Windows through a simple google search. Multi-monitor setups not working on windows 10: http://w

Windows might be great if you have enough free time for learning to disable all the crapware, experimenting and fixing bugs. Also you'll need time to optimize it. For example out-of-the-box Windows on an SSD boots slower that Ubuntu an

This isn't "hacker news", this is "corporate news". It's amazing that some people consider themselves "hackers" when all they use is VS and Office programs on Windows and actively stay away from any p

There are MS employees right here on HN, I wish some of them would chime in with their thoughts on this whole debacle. I imagine most of the employees were kept in the dark about this too, as the nature of MS/proprietary software is se

Windows 10 slows down my whole PC and won't let me downgrade. I was forced to move to Linux or deal with constant lag from all forms of input. Can't believe I wasted my time putting up with the lag to fix my wifi so I could instal
