> Linux can do something, which windows cannot || : eh, wo cares

Exactly.

We who have used Linux for a while have had fun a couple of times before asking if Windows is ready for our desktops and the answer was most often a resounding no.

Lately I've made do with just Windows and WSL and to be honest, it still isn't ready for my desktop.

Recently my laptop had overheated in the bag a number of times.

Knowing I would probably have some work to do to work around Microsofts new "bake your laptop feature" (also known as "modern standby") permanently, I dug into power settings.

The reason this has been more problematic recently became very clear immediately: some recent software update has managed to set action on closing lid to "Do nothing".

If this was Linux there would be a major outcry about how it is not ready for ordinary users.

For Windows it is an ordinary Tuesday.

Same goes for a lot of other things: waiting for half a minute before git returns (admittedly on a collection of 500 files, but still), it is just the way it is.

Still can't match apt-get or any other package manager? Deal with it.

30% longer compiles? You are welcome.

Ads on the logon screen of my work PC with Professional license? Of course. Same with ads in my start menu and even in Soltaire like in some cheap Android app. Yep.
