i don't hate windows because of design inconsistencies and imagined security differences. i hate windows because it shoves ads in my face and spies on me, and every time i dig through the registry to get it to not do that, it gets undone with the next system update.

i use linux because it doesn't make me do that in order to have a system i consider usable.

Also the pulling-teeth-process of updating Windows. How does a commercial OS shit the bed on that so hard?

Cope.

Linux folks can get annoying sometimes, but Windows has become absolutely painful to use recently. It's adware is absolutely disgusting, in line with everything else in corporate society. Every time I use my computer, I'm reminded that I live in a dystopia. When I get a new desktop, it sure as shit won't run Windows.

Sure keep telling yourself that you enjoy all the ads, malware, garbage UI and UX, bloated size, cost, etc

Nobody has fun using windows, they just tolerate it.

OP successfully triggered people, this isn't even offensive (I use opensuse btw)

Wow, I'm having so much fun staring at the start menu.

I don't think people's #1 problem with Windows is that the icons are inconsistent sometimes.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

inconsistency with icons and design in some areas

Sounds like a straw man argument. What Linux user would cite that as a complaint against Windows?

(I use arch btw)

This is so true! I would say, especially on Lemmy, but I'm so late plenty of users already made that point for me. lol

That said, I'm just waiting for Microsoft to implement that copilot crap to finally maybe actually try to transition to linux - same reason I finally left reddit (I was basically forced off)

Yah, I got tired of reconfiguring my windows every-time it updated.

The little annoyances built up to a point where the 1 hour of migrating stuff over and booting up a new OS was worth it.

Well, the real problem is that Windows enjails people while GNU/Linux empowers by giving freedom
