Things got a bit deep into the discussion there for a minute so I'm lifting it out

> Your lengthy response is a good example of Linux forums, that eventually I got tired to visit, though.

It takes four times as much writing to refute bullshit as it does to write it.

My system works out of the box with basically no Tweaking other than clicking "install" on a bunch of things in the software installer.

Meanwhile Windows complaints that I have seen in the last few months from people in communities I am in:

"Is there any way to get windows to stop updating applications at random times? I have bad internet so if I'm trying to play games it lags me out in the middle of a match all the time"

"On Windows it seems like every app has a background task when I boot up that lets it do what it wants regardless of if I want it to"

"(misc comments about Windows 11 blocking Google Chrome)"

"I love Taskbar Tweaker but it errors on startup saying it can't load libraries and doesn't support windows 11, and won't work, and then I click ok and it works"

"Why is destiny 2 not using my GPU? I had to manually go through and select it to use my GPU lol"

"I want to play sims 2 but it doesn't work under windows 11 and I don't want to install a bunch of modding tools to get it to work, but VMWare/Virtualbox doesn't work because you can't do hardware acceleration without disabling a bunch of Windows bullshit" (The Sims 2 works out of the box on Wine and is rated Platinum on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/3314070 )

"It is possible to keep the non-ai subscription to Office 365, but they hide it (link to article explaining how to tweak Windows)"

From what I've seen, Windows users tweak that shit just to get it to work normally, way more than I have ever had to touch my OS. Many of these things JustWork on Linux or are not problems.
