LOL, good one!
I especially loved the user friendliness of my distro randomly disconnecting my BT mouse and refusing to reconnect. Had to edit grub to get it back to working order.
Or how I changed the lock screen image through settings. Now I can see it - in Settings. Only. Because if I lock my device, I still see the old one.
Or how on Kubuntu, my previous distro, the applications' menu (the one with "File", "View", "Help", etc.) just disappeared from all apps. Spent two days trying to sort it out and ended up switching to Tuxedo OS.
Such an easy to use OS, especially for those who've never done one bit of troubleshooting themselves!
Windows never has issues, does it?
Not like that, it doesn't.
I've never heard of someone using bcdedit to change a boot flag, so a Bluetooth adapter will behave.
The lock screen problem I've seen myself a while back. At least in my case, I did not have permissions to the session manager config file, and the gui tool did not account for that. But I think I had to install the tool from the repo. It wasn't part of the base install.
The menu problem could be a Kubuntu or early plasma issue. Either way, not something I've ever seen in Windows.
Spoken like someone who hasn’t had to troubleshoot Windows
Could that be because he's had fewer issues with Windows and hasn't had a need to troubleshoot it?
Windows 11 is a shitty version of Windows, but it's not Windows ME or Vista. It sucks because of the arbitrary CPU and TPM requirements, plus having AI forced into a user's desktop. Not to mention Microsoft is dragging its feet fixing performance issues in Explorer.
It's still very stable on good hardware with stable drivers. Point out the actual shit parts of Windows, not lazy callbacks to the days of Windows 98.
