    But the comparison is different now, Linux on the desktop is better and Windows is worse.

    For example, if you turn off a bunch of telemetry options instead of stopping sending data it stops collecting it. That sounds subtle but it matters. It breaks functionality that has existed for >20 years, simple things like remembering what the last command was in the run dialogue when you open it.

      Uh, window was always worse. Well since at least windows XP. Linux desktop has been better for a very long time.

        I think for most of us that use and understand Linux, it has been better for a while.

        It hasn’t been very long since Linux has been better for your average, non techy users.
