I have yet to meet one person that actively likes Windows, it's always that they use it because it's the only thing they know
You guys have Stockholm syndrome
I like windows for it's low latency ASIO drivers.
I'm a windows user but you want macos for that, man. If that's what you really care about.
Agree. If I were a professional musician making $$$ then OS would be a first preference.
Or they are forced to use it because of X application that only supports Windows and Wine doesn't work well enough for it to run on Linux
If Windows is good enough for John Carmack it's good enough for me. Tried Linux as my main driver for a couple years and there were nothing but hoops, problems and endless configurations to jump through. Why do I have to learn every goddamn thing about the operating system to use it properly? It's like washing your clothes by hand. Ever tried that? Well I had to for several months once, not fun at all. So yes I actively like Windows.
Alternatively you learned to jump through all of Window's hoops over the years of using it. Also, experience in the sense of configuration and hoops can vary wildly by distro. Linux has of course not always had the cleanest UI/UX but it's always getting better and simply does not have the level of investments as Windows or MacOS. When Linux does have investment and runs on corporate sponsored hardware it's usually pretty solid and easy to use e.g. ChromeOS, Android, and many server and cloud products. Also some people may appreciate the level of customizability that "washing clothes by hand" provides.
I like it. I can run linux from the command line whenever I want. I can play whatever game I want without pulling my hair out.
Your right. I dont like windows, but i still like it a hell of a lot more than linux and mac.
