Ask HN: Is Windows That Bad?
8 by freetonik | 7 comments on Hacker News.
I need to replace my old MacBook, and I am curious to try something new. Modern thinkpads look pretty attractive, and it’ll be nice to have an option to install Linux (can’t wait for full support for Linux on arm macs). My use case is simple: web programming and general computing. The last time I owned a non-Apple computer was around 2011, and Windows 7 was pretty good for everything I needed. Nowadays, I read a lot of criticisms about Windows 10 and 11, and simultaneously some praise of the Linux subsystem. It’s very hard to understand whether Windows is really that bad? Would be curious to hear some positives, or perhaps successful “Mac-to-windows” transition stories.
