That reminds me that now in the office we’re dealing with windows machines where the network card just stops working, drivers are suddenly gone. Don’t ask, it’s windows, it’s Microsoft abd this is just considered normal. If a Linux machine has a bug it’s “oh my god Linux sucks sooo hard, it’s impossible to get it to work!” but this Microsoft bullshit just gets handwaved away with “well computers are complicated, let’s just reinstall this”

Ah, yes, that. I switched in 2011 and the first impressions were about how flawless everything is compared to Windows.

the plain security nightmare of having a windows machine…

Eh, about that - Linux really isn't immune to that. Just right now Windows is still by far the more profitable target.

Linux security is not perfect, nothing is. But compared to windows security? Come on, seriously? Is .exe still the extension that'll automatically execute a program?
