I agree! Which is why I dislike Windows as well: I’ve lost too much of my life to debugging it’s arcane issues.

Even macOS is starting to grate at times the last few years for similar reasons. I don’t think I like any desktop OSes these days, but running Ubuntu requires the least effort for what I do (and basically no debugging, at least for the last few years), so between it and my Mac it’s been a bit better.

I just had to forcibly uninstall wireless drivers to attempt to upgrade them (with multiple reboot cycles in between, yuck) all to attempt to fix wifi issues (following advice from Metabox’s support team) on my Windows laptop.

It didn’t work. Still garbage. Works great under Ubuntu though.

At this point, all three platforms are their own unique dumpster fires. Everyone has carved out their little living spaces in the corners of their preferred dumpsters, and denigrating others because they prefer this dumpster instead of that dumpster isn't really interesting or productive.

The only winning move is not to play. Throw your computer in the trash, go for a hike, and never come back.

Thank you. I use Windows and Linux daily for development and both provide equal amounts of FFfffffuuuuu....!! moments.
