Let's not pretend that Linux is without bugs.
Let's not pretend that Microslop is capable of producing good software.
I don't know about that, XP, 2000 and 7 was pretty solid.
That was Microsoft. Microslop lacks that ability.
Fair point.
Not gonna mention Windows 8? Hmm I wonder why...
Or vista lol, or windows 98 that was so bad they essentially recalled it and re-released it as a second version?
Because it was shit.
I never claimed that everything MS did was good
It is a hell of a lot less buggy
And the bugs that are there we are aware of. Microsoft may or may not fix severe security bugs, opting to hide the information instead because it's better for their bottom line
Microsoft always had been a bug riddled mess that people paid for and then they needed to pay even more to be able to get their shit still working
Now with the AI slop apparently contributing 30% of the code, things have gone off a cliff
So no, nobody is pretending Linux is bug-less, it's just that Microsoft is that bad
In 20 years I never had a system-breaking (or really even any noticeable) bug from an update.
Cool anecdote
I know, right?
It's a lot easier to accept bugs when you're not paying for it, it's not spying on you, it lets you do what you want, and it respects your freedom.
It doesn't lock you out of your C: drive
Also remember that it's called C drive because your A and B drives are still floppy drives in 2026
