      At work I use windows, at home I use Linux. They both have their annoyances. Linux more because of availability of apps natively running. And windows more because windows is painful to use as a power user.

        I also use Linux at home and am forced to use Windows at work. I disagree with Linux being more annoying, I’ve fully embraced the mindset that open source/Linux supported software is the only software that exists and I haven’t had any issues since I switched years ago.

        Of course if you really really need some specific software for some niche that doesn’t have a perfect open source equivalent that’s a harder pill to swallow for some.

        I’m much happier on Linux, my windows work PC is nothing but a pain to use.

          I’m still a relative noob with Linux and I find stuff “breaks” more on Linux (‘breaks’ as in does something I don’t want it to), nursing and it can take me a while to fix those things because I’m still learning. It takes a while in part because I want to actually understand what’s going wrong (and how to fix it), rather than just doing the thing.

          With Windows, when it’s doing something I don’t want it to, it’s usually a much more straightforward troubleshooting process because often, it’s a problem I can’t solve. The stuff I can change is quicker because I have more experience with Windows, but overall, the experience is much more frustrating because of all the stuff I need to tolerate. It makes it feel like my computer isn’t my own.

            Fair, definitely a learning curve and I can definitely sympathize with trying to fix things in Linux, I have had my fair share of why is that doing that, I just find that more tolerable than windows lol.

          Yes of course! And we always have Wine. I had a situation yesterday where I needed to remove some triangles (millions needed to be removed) from an STL file and there is a native app for window. On wine Linux it runs super slow. But…I don’t have a windows machine right now. So I had to buckle up for slow rendering of my triangles lol

        Windows is harder to use as a casual user

        The only thing it really gets right are forced updates but the updates it gives aren’t great

          Yeah, I feel like Linux is easier for casual and better for power users, Windows favors people in the middle.

            I use Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

            At work, windows cause I have to. I hate it.

            To tinker with CLI and coding, Linux. I SSH into it from work to check my email with Mutt and browse the web with Lynx.

            My computer that I just want to operate and do what it’s supposed to? Mac. Thing runs like a Toyota - non-stop and when you need it.
