    Maybe if they stopped having issues Linux would fix.

    Oh, Windows broke the printer driver? Yeah my Linux laptop still works. Can’t turn your PC off? Yeah my Linux boots and shuts down fine still. Oh updates randomly restarting your PC in the middle of processing something? Yeah Linux let’s you control updates.

    I could go on.

      I became more aware of things breaking on Windows after switching at home. Everyday there is some weird bug or just very inconvinient behavior coming from Win, Office or platform-exclusive software. And with everything screwed to the floor and witholding information, you either find a sketchy workaround or wrap yourself around the issue. It’s so weird, like I took a red pill. Linux quirks are challenges that I’ve chosen for myself, and there were several huge problems, but oh well going into windows is not a safe haven either, and that’s a paid product and a standard OS for PCs.
