Like holy shit, is it unbearable to listen to both sides of the argument. I love using Linux more than Windows, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s OBJECTIVELY better than Windows. They both have their own merits (Linux has better performance and isn’t bloated with useless software, and Windows is better for gaming).
And yet, whenever I go check the discussion surrounding Linux, it’s always the two annoying sides battling with each other as to whether or not Linux is better than every other OS in every regard or if it’s overrated and has zero merits compared to the competition. Both are incredibly false (Linux is best for server stuff and privacy but isn’t that user-friendly, while Windows is great for general work and gaming but sucks ass in general performance even if you have a decent PC, and macOS is great for video work but is only good in other regards from what I’ve heard. All of these have their own flaws and merits) which makes this discussion even more pointless.
also, just for clarification, I’m not saying Linux is fully great in privacy. If you have chrome, you’re pretty much sacrificing some of your privacy anyways. I’m just saying that it’s better compared to what Windows is doing.
Overall, fuck Linux discussion, just get whatever OS is best for you (or dual boot if you like both of them).
