Gregory's ServerWindows: forces adverts on you, even though you paid for it.
Linux: free, does not do that.

 @gamingonlinux "Thankfully I didn't pay for it, it came with my computer for free" :p  @gamingonlinux But is there an emulator or way to run Windows games on Linux (via Steam, Epic or EA servers)? I'd like to switch but don't want to lose my gaming. @gamingonlinux Damn I miss Linux on my old PC. I attempted to install it on my laptop but seems windows has it's fingers on the running system. @gamingonlinux For me, it was an automatic reboot for updates when I had several unsaved buffers open. However, I don't get good performance gaming in Linux. @gamingonlinux Iโm glad windows 11 added more advertisements and other anti consumer โfeaturesโ because thatโs how I figured out about Linux @gamingonlinux Unless you pay for the enterprise version of Windows, it's pretty much shareware. There is some good software that fixes a bunch of the issues. But with every update the reintroduce or ad new crappy ads. It's ridiculous how many subsystems there are for ads and telemetry https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 |
@gamingonlinux That was pretty much the final straw where I quit using Windows almost entirely.
I've been using Linux as my main for ~20 years, but I used to have a Windows HTPC in the living room for videos and couch gaming. The ads in Win 10 were what finally pushed me into switching that machine to Linux too.
(I still have a couple Windows machines for the few remaining programs I need that don't run on Linux, but there are only a couple of those left.)
