I will do whatever it takes for my non-European windows install to behave like a European windows install.
If I got rid of ads on windows if be much happier with the OS and would not have such a grudge against using it.
I can’t wait until benchmarks are run on the two versions side by side to see if it impacts battery life and or performance.
If you used Linux your OS wouldn't be trying to subvert your well being by casually manipulating you while you are just trying to get shit done.
Until you can't game at 4k, 120hz, with an HDR high resolution display.
But, from the most recent time I tried it: Display scaling doesn't always work (150% UI). 2x worked fine, it is supposed to work fine with wayland, but wayland didn't seem to like nvidia drivers. Many anti cheats don't work. WoW didn't work (though it should based off the wine compatibility reviews). Bluetooth had issues (didn't reconnect on startup I think).
While I'd love to change to linux, every time it's always been inferior for my personal use cases. As windows gets worse, and linux gets better, eventually the time will come when I switch. But for a great many people, the support simply isn't there yet.
