    To me an os should be something that just let’s me run programs of my choice and use my hardware to it’s fullest. Eg be as light as possible.

    With windows it just wants to suck up all my hardware/battery by itself and puts up a fight anytime I want to install anything myself

    Don’t know how many times now I’ve had to take defaults away from things like edge but yeah

        I really thought that comment was building up to something like “and that’s why I use Arch, btw” lol

          As it’s kind of implied at this point I thought I’d leave it out for once ;-)

          But yes I do use Arch, btw.

            Ah, I was thinking of the original comment when I typed that but in hindsight I guess yours does work haha.
            Gotta love good old Arch, someday soon I do hope to outnerd that regularly with “I use NixOS/Bazzite, btw”.

        While I exclusively use Linux at home and I recommend it to everyone especially on desktop, they mentioned battery life and from my experience that isn’t its strong suit.

      I’m not sure how secure it is, but Chris titus’s windows debloater works wonders for my windows install. Getting rid of edge and other MS clutter really cleans up the windows desktop in a way you wouldn’t think.

        I actually have used that as well on most of my family’s computers also. It sure does beat messing with settings.

        I think next time I have to reinstall windows I’ll attempt something like tinywin10.
