There are people on Jow Forums RIGHT NOW that like and defend Win 10

It's got some quality of life features that would be hard to get away from. Installation is a breeze for starters.

not your personal army

Windows ten is very functional though

I don't "Like" windows 10. I put up with it because it's the only realistic option for any new PC as getting Windows 7 on new hardware is a bastard. Not to mention the impending lack of support. Anyhow I'm going to cheat a bit and rattle off some stuff that Windows was good at as far back as probably XP

I've used various Linux distros throughout the years. Was using Ubuntu MATE as my daily OS and overall Linux is just a pain in the dick. If something doesn't work how it should, you're spending an hour or more troublehshooting, or worse, going on the forum for help. Half the tutorials for Linux to be more usable are how to setup WINE. If an OS's capability is defined by how well you can run normally Windows native applications, it's shit.

Trying hard to fit in? You don't even know what that means

good bait freetard
literally opposite of linux

if I have to spend more than 5 minutes of my mortal life fiddling around with an OS then its dogshit and I don't care how many memes you post

Unlike linux, everything works

10 is a nice number
The word "Windows" reminds me of the outside
I like the default theme's shade of blue

>meanwhile freetard popping veins from his skull trying to install some shitty program made by other freetards with no quality control
got any more freetard? What you say is exaggeration and only has to be done once, what I say is daily occurence

Your not required to do any of that you know
It's funny that you mention downloading an alternative browser as I would be doing that shit in Linux anyway since I'd rather have something chrome based

>what I say is daily occurence
nope, clearly you know nothing about any operating system other than the one using you. and when I want to install something I just use the package manager. shit just works desu

It's fast.
It's stable.
The live tiles are actually useful.

and you're not required to shit yourself while using gnu/linux but it seems that many windows useds insist on doing so regardless

only thing i like is active directory

1) Supports professional applications such as adobe creative cloud, sony vegas etc

2) Almost all of the annoying features like cortana, lock screen, built in apps etc can literally just be turned off or uninstalled one way or another

3) Can play video games, and with that all of the obvious benefits that come with gaming on pc over gaming on console. And yes I know steam on linux can run alot of windows games fine now, but that's still in beta mode and will never be guaranteed to support EVERY single steam game, since they are adding support one game at a time, and new games are being released on steam all the time

1) Plays all the software I need.
2) Works out of the box.
3) Is compatible with everything.
4) No need for tweaking.
I could go on and on.

funny how every windows used apparently needs to use photoshop for their livelihood whenever the topic of gnu/linux comes up. what bs

>works out of the box!
>no need for tweaking!
>no, having to turn off ads and disable telemetry doesn't count!!

Why would anyone need to defend Windows 10?
Do linux fags honestly believe their never ending temper tantrums pose any sort of threat?

We're trying to help you.

i've been using gahnoo slash loonix since i was 10 user, but these threads are still "find a flaw" tier garbage
stop it

"you don't actually NEED to use photoshop anyway, open source ms paint clones are all you need"

Cope

As someone who uses linux and windows it can go both ways
Linux can have a great out of the box experience and Windows depending on version *can* be a nightmare if you don't know your hardware to get drivers.
On the flip side Linux can be broken for certain systems while Windows just recently with 10 has gotten a hell of alot better getting everything functional with no user intervention

>Caring about other people's software usage.

it runs linux
retarded boomers & corporations know how to use it (even if it is shit)

I only use it for gaming anyway.

It's not free anymore (unless you mean DOS and Windows 1-3.1 that are now in the public domain). Windows 10 is full of adware. They literally inject ads into the start menu.

What the fuck are you talking about? I've been using Ubuntu since they stopped supporting windows 7 and you try to tell me that using Linux is hard?

>good multimonitor support
Okay I can't think of other two good reasons

Zoomers and pajeets

it just works. unironically.

Linux isn't hard. It's just annoying, and with best case scenario you still can't use Adobe, play all the games as fast, or use most software. Even software with native support like davinci resolve lacks some of the features available on Windows, and trying to use wine is a crap shoot for each software.

this kek
also being on a tablet/laptop device, Win10's interface is really good.

Honestly I'd LOVE if windows worked "out of the box" but it simply never does for me. I've had 4 computers and every single one has had driver problems requiring hours of fucking around.
I know people say linux is bad with drivers but it's actually better than windows in my experience and it confuses me greatly.

I use Linux at work, you know to make money.

come on guys, it literally has ads by default on the start menu, and ntfs sucks

>s-stop defending Windows REEEE
Meanwhile this board is the worst bunch of GNU/Linux apologists and defenders I have even seen.

Linux is better with drivers than Windows, exceptions being the proprietary Nvidia ones and some obscure hardware. Some new hardware needs a while for support, I suppose. I find Linux having more hardware be plug and play compared to Windows where drivers need to be installed separately.

Only option if you like playing videogames, since wine doesn't work too well on many modern titles and native ports are often terrible quality.
But the situation is definitely improving, with many indie titles being on par or straight up running better on GNU/Linux

if you're that braindead try ubuntu

I agree that windows is dogshit.

Pretty much this

Windows 10 is shit it doesn't even have wine

Lower barrier of entry is not a bad thing. I'm not sure if I would have picked up computer stuff as a kid if my only experience with PC was a linux terminal. It's also infinitely easier to solve windows problems because 99% of time, someone else encountered it before you and already asked about it.
Of course now as an adult and programmer I can compile the source code myself, I don't need Yahoo Answers, only the documentation, I don't need GUI for everything and even make scripts to ease my life and experience. But if I were to install an OS for any member of my family it would be Windows since it means overall less frustration on both sides. I'm not gonna push my FOSS beliefs on someone else like a religion, enlightenment cannot be given, it must be taken etc. etc.

why do windows users assume that their present experience is the best experience they can get?

This, so much this

LTSC doesn't have any of those problems, and there's plenty of 'package managers' for Windows already.
Why do freetards willingly chose ignorance?

>there's plenty of 'package managers' for Windows already.
>willingly chose ignorance?

windows 10 is botnet haha peenus weenus

Hyper V is pretty good
My wife can use it without having to ask for help
It just werks®

>plenty of 'package managers'
And all of them suck

just installed xp sp3 yesterday, plan to try win update later, ask me anything

I like the search function

They're called /v/irgins
What about it?

Describing Linux. Op says to describe winshit, guys
I know most software doesn't work in Windows and most games need to be ported over but there's at least something good to say, isn't there?

>LTSC
Can you get it for (((free)))?

It turns people away from Microsoft, helping bring about the era of Linux desktop, that's one pretty good thing.

Audio just works.
Games just work.
I don't have to configure and compile the kernel to use my GPU.

IT
JUST
WORKS

I just like games and photoshop.

And I'm too lazy to go through the hassle of getting it all to work on linux.

It just werks, and I'm a gamer. I have no need for obscure trash like Loonix.

you don't even need to install third-party AV in most cases with W10 because of Windows Defender.

Linux: init system drama, display server drama, DE drama, package manager drama, sound system chaos, distro wars, license drama, open vs proprietary driver troubles, UNIX philosophy drama, BSD vs GNU vs others

Windows: telemetry drama, update drama

If you're not paranoid or afraid of change, it's obvious which ecosystem is simpler and more comfortable to adopt

1. GPU status monitoring in task manager
2. allows me to transfer install from one machine to another just by logging into my microsoft account
3. Finally added the ability to re-route specific applications through a specific audio device without using 3rd party software hacks.

It boots fast

1. It has gaymes
2. Has proprietary apps I need that can easily be pirated (mostly Adobe)
3.

Windows is fucking terrible right now and would probably even worse in the future but because of these two I just have to stick with it.

You should let them know they don't have to try so hard to fit in. Else they might end up trying harder.

pen support
better tablet os
plug n play gaming

It destroys itself so I don't have to

I keep Win10 dual-booted alongside my GNU/Linux installation exclusively to play Fortnite.

To all people who responded with "muh gaymes"
this is a technology board

Still free if you do a little bit searching, I got 10 Pro 2 months ago via their upgrade tool, true story bro, I ain't lyin bro, u want some brah , step up brah, who you calling a liar, I'll fuckin have you

Pretty much this.
I installed linux on my laptop alongside windows and the only thing it's good for is browsing the internet while saving on power.
For everything else windows is required.
Also
>install linux
>need to install some other shit to enable sound
>have to remember to run said program every time I boot linux and need sound
How can a modern OS not have a basic feature like sound out of the box?

werks on my machine

>works on my distro
Fixed
I did not go with Ubuntu because it's as bloated as windows so it would pretty much defeat the point.
