Been running Arch on my work laptop for over a year. Still waiting for the fabled difficulty and update breaks. Starting to think in modern times its perpetuated to keep people on Windows.

Must be nice. It's been about seven years since I last dove into Linux, so maybe things have changed. But also in that time, windows became even more stable than it was, and it's silky smooth these days.

I don't see any benefits to even trying Linux again.

"Please sign into your microsoft account to continue." After entering my PIN.
Ads in the greeter.
lightdm-gtk-greeter does neither of these things.

Ads in my menu along "news and interests"
dmenu simply searches my applications.

Don't even get me started on the themes either.

Now that proton has brought steam into the mix windows no longer makes sense for gaming rigs, only office chuds who think computers are magic.

I never see ads on windows. Maybe The were there once, but once disabled, they never came back.
