moocowtruck··on Reasons to prefer Linux over Windows (2014)
I've been using linux since 95, both doing kernel dev and using as desktop. At some point around windows 8 i decided to give windows a try, and purely use windows 10 now and love it for many of the same reasons you mentioned. To me OS wars are over, if someone prefers linux desktop more power to them, but for me anymore I feel like I want technology out of the way as much as possible, and I feel like windows 10 desktop does that for me.

Just what the hell happened to the google of a decade ago? Did that many corp shills inject themselves ?
