    No one has more problems on windows than a linux-first user.

    Every thread like this has people that can’t seem to get windows to do the bare minimum, but I have yet to have a single hiccup in months. I don’t get it. This isn’t even a “linux bad” comment, I dual boot and enjoy my linux install as well, the only “problems” I have on there are from being new to linux.

      I’m wondering if some of those issues are just simple annoyances that Windows users are used to putting up with. Because I had lots of those before switching to Linux that I didn’t think were fixable.

      The only time I had my windows install be completely unbootable was when dual booting. The rest was always an issue.

      It’s even a work pc, there’s a thread on the microsoft forums detailing how common the problem is.

      That’s because all the people who don’t have issues, aren’t going to make comments about not having issues in a community that is basically dedicated to shitting on it(seriously, check top posts. It’s not “haha linux funny meme”, it’s “windows bad” over and over again).

      Even if they do make a commen,like you, they get downvoted by people who like to wallow in misery.

      My work laptop with Windows 11 works OK for what I need it for, but I do have to fight it all of the time to get it to do shit. And it is also incredibly slow for no real reason.
