Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
Windows might not be the ideal privacy solution, but it’s often not something that people can reasonably change.
It takes work to relearn an operating system. People’s work applications may not function outside of windows. Virtualization and emulation are not perfect.
Well said. I use Linux on my main desktop PC and Windows on the laptop. I’m the “use the tool that works for you when you need it” type of guy. Windows may not be as private or as secure as Linux, but it sure does have its use cases. And like you said, a lot of people may not have the luxury of changing their os. Linux is not always ideal. For instance, the laptop I have windows on never worked well with Linux. It has always had problems because it has that hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics. And that shit is an absolute nightmare on Linux. It works flawlessly on windows.
Totally agree. I have to use Windows at work and I dual boot Windows and Linux on both my home desktop and laptop. Pop_Os! hybrid graphics have been working great on my laptop tho FYI might be worth checking out
I have tried pop os and loved it. I just didn’t like the battery life on it (on Intel only). Animations were very laggy without running on Nvidia 100% which drains the battery even more. I get very smooth animations and great battery life on windows. I have endeavourOS on my desktop and it’s amazing. Went all out AMD on the PC because fuck Nvidia.
