I've been a computer geek since 1987. I started out on dos and spent a lot of my time in Windows, but I've used Linux as well for more than 25 years now.
This article was as useless and as stupid as I anticipated. They clearly are happy in Linux and they were not going to be happy in Windows.
I'm quite happy in both. I like both. I think there's advantages and disadvantages to both. I will definitely say that there are some things I really prefer in Linux. But in recent years, a lot of that I've gotten to incorporate over on the window side things.
I now have bash under Windows. I have the compose key under Windows thanks to a third party utility called wincompose. It's free.
It doesn't take me excessive clicks to do things. In Windows I mean.
And thanks to modern technology, not quite everything is upgraded under Linux with APK anymore.
I've had very few problems under Windows. And I've had very few problems under Linux. As far as system stability.
Use what you like. Use what you enjoy. Use what works better for you. For me, that's both.
