Or they value an os that works out of the box with the vast majority of hardware. Even valve and steam is on proprietary hardware has a ton of issues. Windows is God awful but I didn’t have to run a script on every boot up to set my HDMI device as a default. Or have to reboot my device every time I turn off my TV because HDMI can’t connect. And none of my controllers, 8bitdo, ps5ds, xbox360, work wirelessly without latency issues 🤷♂️.

THIS Windows user has used Linux and BSD sytems for ~30 years and still manages a fuckton off Linux servers as his dayjob. The thing is - and it is a somewhat invonvenient truth - that Windows 11 has evolved to a point where it works just really, really well when used on dedicated hardware.
