And then what? What's going to replace it? As of right now there is no alternative that can do what windows can do. There are other operating systems that can do some of the stuff but not all of it.
What can windows as an operating system do that no other can do? Do they have magical scheduling?
The question is what can't it do? Yall keep saying switch to Linux but why? Why would I leave windows if Linux isn't offering anything better?
Well, as operating systems go, they both accomplish pretty much the same thing: an interface for programs so that they get access to hardware resources. One thing that Linux does is that it supports many more architectures than what windows does.
In windows, the UI is a part of the operating system so customization is a lot harder than what it is in Linux.
These are the only things that I can think of that are directly tied to the operating systems, but I’m not the most knowledgeable on these things. I honestly wonder what makes windows better as an operating system, because I can’t find anything.
