Meet my laptop John. It has both Windows 11 21H2 and Fedora 43.
Windows always complains about upgrading to a new version (which it can’t by itself since I ripped the service out by force). There’s also two apps on Windows (it’s Firefox and IWL) that gets slower over time. WHPX (the hypervisor for Windows) is unusably slow, so I can’t use VirtualBox or QEMU there (unless if you use the faster but still slow TCG for the latter).
Hibernation never works on Fedora; if not because of the swap, the NVIDIA GPU driver sometimes refuses to be suspended. Imagine encountering that when its battery’s running out and John has to brace for impact. My XFCE session is a mishmash of components because of my high DPI screen; once it’s using Mutter, but now it’s JWM since Mutter decided not to work properly anymore.
All of this to say that these OSes suck in their own ways. Windows is stubborn and inefficient, Linux is clunky and user-unfriendly. Can’t we have an OS without these annoyances?
