    If you don’t tinker like the usual Linux user your os won’t break more often than windows

          • Yeah people often forget the sheer amount of quality checks and testing that windows updates go through. Sure it might do annoying things like changing your default browser but it never truly breaks.

            There’s also the fact that Windows native antivirus is so good that installing antivirus software is actually a downgrade. On Linux meanwhile you gotta run third party antivirus.

              Windows updates break my clock… Idk about this claim that it doesn’t break stuff.

              In my experience windows just breaks as often. Depending on hardware and software used.

              Yes it might be better for windows 11 I haven’t run that yet. And windows 10 almost never broke either so it is maybe better now

                It literally almost never happens for windows yet Linux is generally most famous by this one thing

                  It should not happen if you use debian, Ubuntu or Mint stable. As long you don’t do anything exotic it should not break, at not since 2018.

                  And if it breaks remember you compare free software made by volunteers (and paid employees from companies) with much less money and they still manage to compete with the multi billion dollar company Microsoft.

                    1. It was on Ubuntu Debian

                    2. Is exactly what I’m trying to say… this is why Linux will not be ever better unless it is an actual product that can have real money poured into it. Except they don’t really “manage to compete”. Unless you count 1vs99 as non-laughable competition. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to use something else but as of right now, nothing can really compare with stability and being “plug and play”
