[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.

I'm helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because "Linux can't play games" despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.
2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can't even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.
Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

Can't tell if this is a shitpost or not
Me neither. Linux is my main Operating System but... We can't generalize one Windows experience just like we can't generalize one Linux experience.
I agree with this. I use Linux exclusively at home, but for work I have a windows laptop. It’s really not that bad. I for sure don’t like it as much, but it isn’t atrocious.
Linux users on Lemmy: People who don't run Linux are just bad with computers and shouldn't be using a computer at all!
Also Linux users on Lemmy: Anyone else is unable to install windows from scratch?
😘👌

I remember being part of these exact same conversations on other message boards at least 15 years ago.
We're all going around in circles here as history repeats itself.
It has to be, windows makes it super easy to install so they can get your data faster.
I have found windows is easier to install every time. This is just another windows bad linux good post. Windows has so many issues, but installation is not one of them. Even my 10 year old cousin installs it fine.

Yeah, but by then the "good" version will be available - Windows 12.Alternatively, if your needs could be met by another os e.g. Linux or MacOS then why not migrate to them?
OP:
I run Arch btw
In my experience, installation of Win or Lin has been pretty easy. Lin has less options to opt out of (I like) than windows, but windows set everything up just fine. The only time I ever had issues on either is if I try to install without an active ether net connected. If I don't have the os update during install, I run into random driver issues on either os.
Yeah, I genuinely do not understand having used Windows, Linux, and MacOS. They are making it sound like it's trying to decipher some unknown language. Even a quick YouTube would have solved how to install a exe.
Windows bad, upvotes to the left
