So many things I'd rather do than go back to Windows (sh.itjust.works)

I hated Windows 11 because:

  • Constant Telemetry
  • Hogs resources. Examples include: Using 1/3 of my 1TB SSD and 1/2 of 16GB of DDR5 RAM
  • Tons of vulnerabilities, several that remain unaddressed
  • Forced updates
  • The UI and start menu is hideous, search immediately searches Bing instead of my system for an app

I love Fedora 39 because:

  • No telemetry, optional anonymous bug reporting
  • Uses only 50GB of my 1TB SSD and 1.6GB of 16GB of DDR5 RAM on the OS plus GNOME
  • Vulnerabilities continue to be patched through kernel updates (currently up to 6.7.7 on Fedora)
  • I get to choose when to update my system
  • I like my riced UI, the application menu is clean and search searches for apps on my system first with perfect accuracy

Did I prove my point?

Pretty much the only thing Windows has going for it is hardware support, and that's purely down to manufacturers not supporting Linux so I can't even give MS kudos for that.

If my simracing hardware ever gets decent support I'm switching all my machines over.
