it's also a weird comparison because i can remember buying one windows license in my entire life... i got some OEM licenses from devices but it's not like i'm paying my shirt off to use windows either. i think the only device i've saved money on from using linux is the steam deck lol

not to mention how stupid easy it is to pirate windows nowadays i will give MS credit where its due, stuff like Windows Terminal/winget/Power Toys/new tiling features in 11 are really nice. but like. to say windows is _inherently_ easy and worth your time is total cope or just familiarity bias

windows is not intuitive if you didn't grow up with it!

hell i grew up with windows and linux was still a breath of fresh air. i learned how to use linux with ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 or so... as a 9 year old... and i was dumb as fuck back then lmao

Wait, out of genuine curiosity how did you start using linux when you were 9? I never even started using it until I was 13, in 2016.

terminally online and found out about Wubi (installed ubuntu in a virtual hard disk but wllowed it to boot natively from the windows bootloader)
