    I tried Linux (Mint). It doesn’t even have colorblind modes. It threw weird problems into simple tasks. “Help” forums were full of threads condescending and trying to trick newbies into deleting the OS instead of, you know, helping. I hated the centralized launcher system compared to regular old .exe’s that you can download from websites that have much better info about what you’re downloading.

    Also gaming was too much a mess. But that was very far from the only problem with Linux.

    I do a hell of a lot of tinkering to make windows something approaching private, but it was nothing in comparison to the amount of unpredictable tinkering and extra time Linux demanded for my use cases. Ostensibly perfect privacy is just not worth it at all to me. I’ve got shit to do.
