Install chocolatey in windows and get the best of both worlds…now for 90% of programs I can type “choco install foo” and it finds the exe for me and silently installs it in the background so I don’t even have to click anything

Oh also windows has handled high DPI monitors and mixed DPI multi monitor setups perfectly for a decade or more, I think linux only more recently started handling it ok and it’s still got quirks.

I got tired of having to endlessly maintain it, vs windows which generally just works (no fighting with audio drivers, wifi drivers, gpu drivers, suspend to disk works without glitching, etc) and i like playing video games without having to deal with wine. Still run linux on servers, and my work desktop and laptop are linux since we have an IT department which maintains it for me.

Ebooks from your local library generally do have drm in my experience. Harder to complain since they’re free though.

Running your own host is more work and costs money. And is harder to do anonymously.

I see you’re getting downvoted even though you respectfully answered the question, looks like the Reddit tradition of downvoting anything you disagree with to bury it is alive and well here on Lemmy
