it runs all apps,works with all hardware even “unsuppoted” ones with rufus.
it has pretty ui,great antivirus,and its free if you know where to look.
runs all games,can be customized with group policy and registery. gets latest game ready drivers,new gpus and hardware work on it instantly no wait for community to make it work.
no community needed you can just go to microsoft forums,or ai bec most windows problems are easy to solve.
great backwards compatibility.
extremely stable and never crashes

free if you know where to look
are you suggesting a benefit of windows is you can “illegally” get a copy and install it? instead of actually free linux distro?
yes bec it actually runs the apps most people need. and they know how to use it
“It’s better because you can steal it.” Is not a perk when compared to just being free.
C’mon man, if you’re gonna troll at least put some effort in
not a troll. i wrote real details
“all apps” not so sure about that
“pretty ui” if you like it. So many tastes and flavors out there …
i think its implied that i mean all windows apps. dont be pedantic.
its pretty ui regardless if you like it or not . its made with Psychology
i think its implied that i mean all windows apps. dont be pedantic.
In that case, linux runs all linux apps.
no it doesnt. get an old binary and try to run it on latest arch
OK, get some 8 or 16 bit apps and run them on windows 11.
Made with psychology? The fuck?
I think by psychology they meant all the dark patterns and A/B testing manipulating the user 🤣
Lol that’s the only psychology shit I could think of. Pretty sure they blocked me for my comments.

Yes you! All I care about is you. What apps you use. What ui you like. All you know is all i know.
you can just go to microsoft forums
Now I KNOW you’re a troll.
why? i found them useful before
Please run ‘sfc /scannow’
Be sure to mark this problem as solved!
In decades of running sfc /scannow I have seen it accomplish something… once… maybe twice… out of thousands…
‘extremely stable and never crashes’
Wow, ragebait much? LOL!
Laughs in Penguin accent 😂🤣🐧
Yeah, this is some of the laziest “ragebait” I’ve ever seen…
The most shocking /surprising thing i found using linux so far is that you can hit the system button, whatever thing, type something in the search bar and it just finds it. It doesn’t ask copilot, it doesn’t show bing results, it shows a real file that is on my computer.
Look i think Linux is definitely better than Windows, but if you’re saying Windows computers crash more than very rarely then you don’t know what you’re talking about. Windows OS itself basically never crashes. This has been true for many years now.
And how would you even know?
Windows is extremely stable. What it’s not is resource efficient
doesnt crash for me
Well you must not be using the computer then, cuz that’s about the only way Windows 11 won’t crash sooner or later.
You having fun troll?
idk what your on. i use my laptop everyday and it never crashes.
It probably never turns off or goes to sleep either.
You’re a silly troll, you know like the rest of us that modern Windows is garbage anymore. You wouldn’t even be on the Fediverse if you weren’t at least slightly educated in the current tech scene.
i do turn it off and then on i want to use it. i used linux before,yet i like windows more.
windows isnt garbage thats just a fact if it was corps and govs wouldnt use it.
Even governments are ditching Windows and the whole Microslop ecosystem, have you been living under a rock?
But go ahead, go signup to the slop…
thats a singular gov denmark. all other countries use windows (beside north korea or smth)
Anywhere but lemmy, this wouldn’t be unpopular ;)
I don’t agree with the opinion, having recently been forced to do shit on Windows 11 and ran into so many issues because of microsoft that it was infuriating. Since Microsoft insists on baking in their bullshit and making it hassle to navigate around, I say that that is also a flaw in windows.
But I used to mostly like windows. Win7 in particular fit my needs as well or better at the time than mu current distro of choice does now.
I will add the caveat that before proton, that was less true because gaming sucked on linux for me before proton happened. But almost everything else was better, so I sucked it up for daily driving and only used win7 for gaming and music management/listening.
Now, I only use my win7 install for musicbee. I mean, I do use it for other things while it’s booted up, but I dunno if solitaire is a relevant use for this discussion lol.
I’ll also say that, depending on distro, linux can be a pain in the ass to some degree or another, even after the learning curve is handled. Not worse than windows, just in slightly different ways (wifi issues in particular can be a bitch to handle)
Edit: Personalized my comment a bit more so it reflected some of my personal experiences. As I kneejerk reactioned hard initially.
ROFL This reads like rage bait and delusion to be perfectly honest…As most of this post is at least true for Windows 10, but not 11 (which is a vibe coded and LLM stuffed nightmare). I always found that tweaking the registry was something to do only when there was no other choice, as it could cause more harm than good at times. Local Policy is a step up from that on Pro Version, enjoyed tweaking my system that way. Microsoft Forums is a community, and AI is a gassed up LLM (which can hallucinate and tell you lies while sounding correct).
This makes me chuckle and snort, while enjoying openSUSE Tumbleweed without worry!
im saying all this about windows 11 and i daily drive it. im serious this isnt a ragebait,if it was i would clown on linux users but i didnt.
I really, really, really love windows. Especially the huge ones in my office that I get to look out of while happily using my Linux computer. Just, love, those, windows!
If you’re talking windows 7 UI, I agree. If you talk about Win 11, the UI is dogshit. KDE on Linux is like Valve right now. It does nothing and wins with whatever pseudo innovation Microslop comes up with.
Backwards compatibility on windows is mid. If you want to run games from windows 95 era, good luck. Meanwhile on Linux, there’s full support for win95.
That said Linux native app backwards compatibility actually sucks donkey balls and is unsolved problem noone wants to talk about.
Using Windows means giving my data for pedophiles to monetiza so no, thanks.
you know windows isnt made by episten right?
You know Bill Gates is still a large shareholder and is in the Trump-Epstein files, yes?
i didnt know no bec i never cared about epsiten thing that much. i figured no justice would be serviced by usa for vicitms
Now i can’t decide anymore if you’re a troll, really really slow or just a regular american
*everything crashes
How is this an unpopular opinion when most people use windows?
An actually unpopular opinion? gasp
Another totally real account being created just to post this? Got to love fake engagement farming.
Extremely stable and never crashes
I mean, sure… If you just let it sit there doing nothing. 🤷♂️
Windows is quite slower than Mint or OpenSUSE. The startup time is slow, like really sloooow. I had to run through hoops to get auto updates disabled. I can’t customize powershell as much as I can configure Bash.
it has pretty ui
So great of a ui that I can’t change anything beyond colours. I atleast had a windows classic theme till win7.
its not slow. if its slow for you get an nvme
Windows is slower than Linux regardless of what hard drive you have.
