memes aside, what's so bad about Microsoft?
Windows 10 has WSL, a good UI, support for every dektop program you could need and it just werks. The office redesign is good and developing UML apps is fine as well. Where does the hate come from?
Memes aside, what's so bad about Microsoft?
Microsoft still develops almost all nonfree closed-source software, which means the program's source code is strictly under their control. Their software contains spyware, ads, botnets and backdoors, they are the enemy of your freedom.
Do you have proof of this?
I have no idea how you could possibly think that windows 10 has a good UI, or that it just werks.
also this

Excellent counter point. my mind is changed.
>WSL
broken. I tried using it for actual development and it was garbage.
>good UI
lol what? You do realise that Windows 10 has several different legacy UI styles, as well as icons from Win95?
>support for every dektop program
After installing gigabytes of .NET frameworks.
>just werks
nah, in my experience Windows breaks every 6 months, less if updating often
Windows is proprietary, slow, insecure, broken, and looks horrific. I will never use it.
I have no idea how you think anything software-wise just werks.

the fucking explorer shell still has Windows 7-style things, while not being acrylic.
They had one job, which was to make everything consistent with the acrylic look.
it's not just explorer, there's still shit tonnes of stuff in Windows 10 that doesn't follow the 'new' UI style. I estimate 80% of it is still using the Windows 7 UI. Even that 20% is utterly fucking useless because it's just a fucking oversimplified frontend for the Win7 UI. If this doesn't scream incompetence, I don't know what does.
>WSL
Did you use WSL 1 or WSL 2?
WSL 2 is pretty usable, it runs a full Linux kernel binary on top of HyperV, unlike the old WSL 1 that only does Linux-NT syscall translation for a selected number of syscalls.
