    No it doesn’t, it needs constant babysitting if you want it to remain stable. Even then, watch out for updates that’ll wreck your workflow, device drivers and/or the OS itself. The thing is hodgepodge code with layers of bullshit added on through the years. It’s a mess.

      Maybe for a small percentage of extreme power users who live on their computer. For me Windows lets me access all the programs and media I need with zero problems. I can not imagine Linux being anywhere near as hassle free.

        Oh wow, you mean it does the very bare minimum that any OS should do?

        I can not imagine Linux being anywhere near as hassle free.

        In what context? Opening programs and playing media? Lol

          Yes, it does what 99% of users require from it. On Linux I would immediately run into a bunch of programs that wouldn’t work out of the box, at which point I’d need to get into emulating. Which is something I do not want to deal with.

          Windows works flawlessly without hassle, Linux does not. Easy choice to make.
