Yes! I thought exactly the same when I read it. I use windows often because I have to (things like coorporate policy) but never because I want to.

The worlds a great and diverse place though- there must be people who like genuinely Windows over Mac or Linux. Any chance one of them is reading this and wants to share what they love about Windows?




I don't specifically like Windows. But for me, it's the best option of the three. Every Linux distro I've ever tried have had some user experience issues or bugs with the user interface. Also, there's a lot of commercial software like PowerPoint and Excel that are not available for Linux.

I don't like Mac keyboard layout, keyboard shortcuts or window management. I like the hardware but I cannot get over this stuff.

Windows gives me WSL2 so I can basically use Linux with Windows user interface. I've heard a lot of complaints about Windows user experience but personally I like it way more than Mac. It has it's issues but I can live with those. So Windows it is.


I am used to interface
