Then I booted into Windows and in less than 10 minutes was fed up the whole OS. I realized I had to look up things just as often as I was on Linux, but in Linux it was because I didn’t know where it was, where as on Windows it was actively hidden from me and fighting me every step of the way. Windows is in no way easier, It’s just the struggle you’ve gotten so used to fighting with every single day that you’ve forgotten it exists.

I'm not even going to sugarcoat it, Windows treats you like you're a freakin' idiot, and that applies to all SKUs, although the Home SKU is the absolute worst of the bunch about treating its users like they're too dumb for their own good.

Linux, and also BSD too for that matter, at least actually respects its users' intelligence, because Windows sure as hell doesn't.
