Why I prefer Linux (lemmy.world)

Brand new, out of the box. It's been sitting here at 100% for 5 minutes.

5 minutes is about as long as it took to download that mammoth 2MB jpg from this struggling Lemmy server.

Seriously though, I can download an ISO, flash it to USB, boot up and do an entire system install in less than 15 minutes. The only limiting factor is the speed of the internet.

You can do the same for a modded windows install. Depending on hardware ofcourse.

Only thing is with Linux I could do it on my pi with a crappy SD card instead of a full desktop with decent CPU and a good nvme.
