What do you think about Linux? I HATE IT so much. For me it's Windows 11 THE BEST. No software and games developed for Linux.

What specifically about Linux do you hate?
While Linux can have clear drawbacks compared to Windows (less anti-cheat support, proton/wine windows emulation not as fast as natively running windows), it has many advantages (fast and lightweight, wide range of hardware support, as well as the fact that many distributions are free).
I will have to disagree with you on this. There are countless developers that have released native Linux ports for their games. That, along with Proton means you can play most of your game library without problem (minus a few that have kernel level anti-cheat).
While both Windows and Linux have their own ups and downs, both are very relevant in the modern day, as most of the internet runs on Linux machines.

I’m not sure why you feel the need to bring up the fact that you hate Linux and state the Windows is the best, on a forum that is obviously catering for Windows users. If we gave a toss about Linux, we’d be on a Linux forum.
People who join, post and run, come across as trolls. You’d be better off posting your comment on a Linux forum if you want a reaction that’s going to explode (however this might, regardless
)
I’ve been planning a Windows vs Linux dance-off for 5 years, if you have any ace moves (No walking like an Egyptian or Dub-Stepping) call me.

Maybe you could have started with that?
In all fairness, I have tried to dual boot Win 11 and Ubuntu, and it worked pretty well. All you need to do is to not screw up the other partition, as it's pretty easy to ruin your Linux partition while on Windows and vice versa

I used to dual boot Windows and Linux back when I was using Windows 7. I did not hate it then and now I just run Linux on a NUC. It works great.

I have Windows 11 & Linux Mint 22.2. One of the things I hate about Windows 11 is I have to pay to play Solitaire or else sit through ads between games. I use Linux 90% of the time.
I have to tip my hat to this forum. It is full of Window solutions. The last Window issue I had was Edge popping up every time I started Windows, and I found the solution right here in the forum to stop it. Great forum!
