A big hurdle in any technological change is the "power users". People that have learned a lot about the old tech and have to face that knowledge becoming obsolete. And then having to learn a bunch of new things.

The same goes for Windows power users as people who know a lot about fossil fuel powered cars.

    I was a Windows power user, but in Windows 10 I can't do anything. People be like "yeah just use group policy..." but I have home edition which worked perfectly in Windows 7/8. I could disable the anti-virus, I could disable the firewall, etc.

    Now I borked my Windows 10 because I downloaded some debloat scripts and now it won't update because update service requires the firewall service which I disabled. Fuck it, not booting into it anymore, Linux 5ever.

    What did you use in place of the built in firewall?

    Nothing, because I'm behind a router

    It's still advisable to turn it on... it's Windows after all... on Linux, yes, I don't use a firewall as well.

    My router has a firewall. There's no point in double firewalling

    I use both linux and windows. I am power user. Linux cannot do all the things i need it to, neither can windows, but at least we have WSL and VMs. Try setting up a passthrough GPU just to play a game on linux. Then try setting up an AI application using docker for windows.

    I get it, we all wanna root for the underdog, and linux certainly has it's place, but i am so done seeing this "windows bad linux good" bs

    Ngl, you're kind of proving their point.

    Setting up a pass through GPU for Linux gaming is obsolete knowledge. Between Proton, Lutris, and Heroic Launcher I can play my entire game library directly in Linux. I haven't booted Windows in months.

    Wellp, i can't. Several games dont boot, some boot but are wonky as hell. Good for you that you have everything you need, i do not. I use gaming as an example, but so many essentials are either not there, or wonky as hell. And that's assuming you can keep the damn thing running without spending a saturday a month trying to unfuck your system after a driver update or whatever. Sure. I can get all the compatible hardware and do all the research to make sure everything probably doesnt impode, but at that point, why not just use windows.
