After years of being on Linux, i never realised how cynical i gotten with windows until i randomly have to use it

Linux aren’t perfect either, but I feel more tolerant on design decisions caused by unintentional mistakes rather than what feels like intentional manipulation

Safe to say, I’m always grateful Linux exists everytime I have to use windows again

Wasn't windows NT posix at one point?

They had a really bad POSIX subsystem that was coded by an intern, so they could say "We're compliant" and get some sweet government contracts.

NCommander made a lot of videos about it on YouTube and had to patch the hell out of it to even get the most basic programs to run.

Same here, I only use it for VR as well (Reverb G2 support is BAD on Linux). It's so fucking annoying when you only boot into Windows every few weeks or so, it immediately hogs my CPU pulling down updates (which often takes 20 minutes or longer). When the Steam Frame comes out I will finally ditch this dumpsterfire completely.

Praise, sibling.
