Windows is a pain in the ass nowadays

I havnt used windows very much in the past ten years or so. I sometimes use it for games though I dont play games much anymore so I dont boot in there much. I mostly stay in Manjaro Linux. I find the interface of most Linux desktop environments much easier to use than whatever Microsoft calls their interface nowadays.

I cant put my finger on what exactly annoys me about Windows. Everything about it is annoying. Maybe because I’m no longer used to it anymore. One thing I noticed is Windows tends to be very unstable, sure it runs fine most of the time but when things get sticky, they really get sticky. I’m so used to things running smoothly in any Linux that the way Windows behaves makes me annoyed. Though this may be the software I happen to use. It may not be Windows itself. The last time it happened Discord got stuck. Though Windows tends to soak up a lot of resources so it may have been a bit of both.

Settings are much easier to set in Desktop Linux than they are in Windows. In Microsoft’s OS they try to hold your hand too much with this convoluted layout to the point you have to Google to find anything. While I find in Linux, on the XFCE desktop environment at least it’s easier. Not everything is hidden in a maze of menus.

Windows 10 is a convoluted mess. As for my problems with it, The start menu on Windows is absolutely worthless. It is annoying to use so I usually just put everything on the desktop that I use on there. I might be talking out of my ass tuba. I do that a lot. I’m just biased towards Linux nowadays.

If you dont need to use any kind of specialized software, ex Adobe software and you dont need to play the newest games you’d be stupid to continue using Windows.

Now that Steam has a compatibility layer called Proton for running Windows native games in Linux I have less reason to use Windows. I have a slow computer so I still have to run games directly because it takes more resources to run games that way. A lot of games I tried on it worked great without much prodding. At least the ones that arent too demanding on my computer.

I might need Adobe software in the future. I think if it comes to that i might buy a Mac instead. Even though I’m not a fan of most Apple hardware because it’s expensive for no reason there’s certain aspects that are good about them. If I didnt want to use Apple’s interface I could always run XFCE on it as it’s compatible with unix based operating systems. I dont like the direction Microsoft is taking with their OS.
