Andy Young, an ex-Microsoft senior software engineer, posted a message on X/Twitter bemoaning that even with his $1,600 Core i9 CPU and 128 GB of RAM, Windows...
I’m impressed at the balanced conversations in this submission. People who are both for and against Windows and Linux. As I remember, it felt like everyone was heavily biased towards Linux and hated everything about Windows 6 months ago.
Funny enough I bounce between both sides. I mostly work in Linux, and up until Steam Deck, I only gamed on Windows.
So you’ll absolutely see my comments bashing Microsoft and championing the superiority of open-source Linux. Then the next day mock the Linux needs about how “easy” Linux is when Windows just works for the average user.
It is still true. I have to manage windows PCs for my business so naturally I have one. Windows 11 really is a heap of trash. I have Microsoft’s own surface. When I switch virtual desktops the task bar briefly grows then shrinks. Randomly task bar icons will disappear and just be blank. They are still there, they just have no icon. To fix that I have to restart explorer.exe. Not impressed. It’s a downgrade over 10 and 10 was an upgrade over 8.1, but a downgrade over 7.

I’m complicated.
I remember when windows worked; that was nice.
Or just fickle!
It’s still true, we’re just pretending for the sake of discussion.

Windows 10 does the exact same thing these days. I have no idea of the frequency on Windows 10 but I’ve seen it.
My desktop still has 10 but it has other issues lol. I haven’t seen these specific ones yet.
I liked some of the underlying stuff in windows fifteen years ago. Now I’m just done, theres no excuse for the shit they’re pulling.
Clearly the only option is templeOS
