    You don’t have to be a fan boy to have an opinion. Windows is not user friendly in any way. People just know it. My Linux desktops are more robust and hands off than my Windows ones. Of course that won’t apply to all situations.

      I have never encountered a user oriented Linux experience that is more hands-off that Windows this decade.

      My embedded Linux systems, sure. The Linux backends in a closed system, sure. But something that is interacted with, not a chance. People love to hate Microsoft but there is a reason why they have the install base they do.

        Because they are the long term incumbent, with an effective monopoly, and endless pockets of money…

        The OS is not special or great.
