They suck everywhere. I've had nothing but problems with HD4600 on Linux. Frequent video player crashes, kernel lockups, glitches, the whole shebang.

I have the opposite experience. Depends on your display I guess.

>I would like to remove the task bar

You can remove it. I don't use and don't see it on Win10.

>- NTFS is getting old and it is very slow if you have a lot of small files.

It's not NTFS. NTFS by itself is plenty fast. https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/873#issuecomment-425...

Not the parent - but a question on this. I was using Win10 as my main OS 'till quite recently. I always had the task bar on autohide, but was frequently annoyed by it popping up (when icons for running apps flash). I tried a few registry hacks but nothing ever worked. For unrelated reasons I'm back on Linux now, but am still curious to see if there's a solution to this.

I agree on the graphics drivers - you can't really hold that against Windows itself! IME I've had a lot of issues with Intel, AMD and NVidia drivers, on both Windows and Linux.

> alias

Right. And it ships with sensible aliases for pretty much everything right out of the box as well as excellent completion.

Don't really get the 'too verbose' argument at all.

It's probably just too advanced for him. I love PowerShell and use it on Linux, too.
