I was always on Linux since Varsity but two years ago when I bought a gaming Laptop, it had Windows 11 on and worked great. I thought I would give it a chance and it was great especially for gaming. Luckily a lot of the open source software I was used to were available on windows. I also liked some of the Linux tools like the cmd tools being adopted by windows.

But yesterday, after two years of seeing issues pile up and the system degrading, I thought how is the grass back on the other side, since I am sick of this shit. Installed my go to distro, Mint, and god what a fucking idiot I feel like. Even if Windows improved since I used it back from 8, but how much has Linux improved in these last two years, like eons compared to windows. My system is smooth and fast, hell my Cyberpunk 2077 runs amazing, even better and less crashing with nothing more than install and no other settings from steam. Chef's kiss

So true about Linux improving more rapidly than Windows, it's incredible how the ecosystem has evolved just in the last few years while windows doddles along investing their dev resources into adding cloud and AI into all they're offering.

How many times do I have to tell them I'm not interested in their AI crap on my Win10 box? I didn't use Cortana, I'm not going to use this. Just make it stop!
