  • I never found it difficult to debloat windows. I have helped people via voice calls, it’s that simple. It’s as simple as copying a Terminal Script, Running it, Checking some boxes, then using Winget to uninstall Microsoft bloatware. Installing a regular distro is easy, I have installed Zorin and Linux Mint in many PCs. But some devices just don’t work. For example, a fairly popular fan controller from Corsair, and I have an AX1650, It didn’t work despite trying many distros, after spending hours on forums, I finally got it to work, but it only connects to 2.4Ghz, another example is Blender, Optix rendering works only with Ubuntu with my card. All these things just worked out for me without any hassle in Windows. Your experience says Linux is better. My experience says Windows is better. Both are subjective opinions and not absolute. Sticking to the original point, what works for you is good for you. And for some people, copying a code and checking some boxes is easier than spending hours in forums to get a WiFi Adapter to work (Speaking from my own experience). Doesn’t mean I lack knowledge in Windows.


  • Proves your lack of knowledge in Windows. You can literally do all Debloat in a single go with Chris Titus’ Windows Debloat Tools, which explains everything clearly. Or you can just “winget list all” then “winget uninstall whatever the hell you want”. I have said this many times, I have been building PCs for over 20 years now. Recently I installed Linux Mint, Zorin OS and I couldn’t get my onboard WiFi 6 Adapter to work properly, it never detects a WiFi 5Ghz network. Unfortunately I have to use an NVIDIA Card for my blender render, and I’m not wasting anyone’s time about what a mess it is. Even with my 6750 XT it was a mess. Now the counter statement will be “It’s the manufacturers fault for not providing proper drivers”. Well as an end consumer, I don’t have time to blame Corporates, I just need to get my work done.

    Ahh yes. Typical Windows bad, linux good meme. When questioned why linux is better, the answer will be beating around the bush sort of it’s worth the months of tweaking to get the WiFi adapter to work. And it’s quite embarrassing to see all these guys who post abominations like this without knowing anything about debloating Windows and stripping the installation to make a perfect install without Microsoft bullshit. If Linux works for you, Good for you. If Windows works for you, Good for you. Get over it. This is cringe at this point.
