[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.
I'm helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because "Linux can't play games" despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.
2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can't even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.
Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

Windows 10 and 11 pretty much work in any hardware I've used. The last time I had driver issues was on windows 7, like 10 years ago.
These people are one of these 2: either they're being dishonest, or they are admitting they don't know how to install an OS that holds your hand so much that even my grandma could do it.
Or they're on something bleeding edge / trying to do something non standard with drive encryption or raid / want to avoid using Microsoft account / cut the spyware. Those are all not as easy as they sound.
@dream_weasel my brother in christ, we’re talking about the process of installing windows, not why they should or shouldn’t. On that second topic, you’re preaching to the choir
