I mean, if you have the gui enabled and are just using it for web browsing it’s no different than windows.

Yep, so why even use Windows nowadays?

Because sometimes one has no choice, be it for your job, or hardware support, etc.

Unfortunately, there is some scientific and medical equipment that only supports Microsoft Windows (often obsolete versions, which is even worse).

I feel you... some machines in my previous lab were running on windows 98.

as much as I love Linux, some softwares don't work with it

haven't dualbooted windows yet though because I have a small drive and I don't need Windows update fucking with my bootloader
