windows is easier to use,harder to break ,all apps and games support it natively.

hardware acceleration works on browsers on it unlike linux(yes it even works with nvidia)

nvidia drivers are perfect.

all hardware ever made for computers works on it.

everyone knows it.

it has real excutable forum. the .exe and is easy to give apps in it.

its very fast with modern ssds. laptops and pcs dont get sold without an ssd anymore so thats not a problem.

adobe apps work ,ms office works. kernel anti cheat apps work.

and you can use it without ever touching the terminal .

it has many sources to troubleshoot online and even ai is better at windows than linux (bec linux always changes) and you generally dont need to troubleshoot stuff just works.

    all hardware ever made for computers works on (Windows)

    Let’s assume you’re talking about Windows 3.x from the 90s all the way to current Windows 11. With that assumption, this is demonstrably false. There are devices from the 90s and early to mid 2000s that don’t have drivers for Windows 8 and up. While Windows does have better backwards compatibility than Linux overall, your absolute statement is false.

    Funnily enough, some say that Linux has a better backward compatibility with Windows than Windows itself.

    (Windows is) very fast with modern ssds.

    All operating systems are faster with faster storage. What point is this statement trying to make?

    Maybe to preempt a counterargument that Linux distros are lighter, i.e. needs less resources?

    adobe apps work ,ms office works (in Windows).

    Absolutely true. If you need those exact applications, run Windows.

    I seem to recall that someone patched the Adobe installer to make it work with Wine, so I’m not sure if there’s an argument to be made here.

    Obvious ragebait, but I like reading these types of comments so I don’t need to address them myself lol

      Ha, thanks! Yeah I didn’t really want to deep dive into some of those points given the obvious attempt at trolling by the OP.

      I feel you on the “Linux has better Windows backward compatibility than Windows itself”. I have a few music instrument related devices that Windows dropped support for after Win7, but Linux just works fine with them as if they were released this year. Same with printers; on most Linux distros thanks to CUPS driverless printing, the printer is automatically configured before you ever launch the settings app. On Windows sometimes it works but more often it just pretends to work and you have to track down the actual printer driver and application bundle from the manufacturer’s website. And especially with HP printers, make sure you get (for example) driver 123x and not 123y, they are completely different and the wrong one might soft-brick your printer.
