    definitely this

    people buy macs for macos or Chromebooks for chrome os because “windows just sucks because it breaks all the time” mentality you always see on Twitter

      Or in the office, the hardware-software relations between the laptop and Windows and in some parts Linux are strained at best, where drivers, power management, and so on get crappy. E.g. after a year or two of updates, it gets out of control and nice things like hibernations don’t work. It’s usually a driver for some small thing you don’t care about that forgot to read the Windows specification change and now it can’t do that power handling in a good way. Oops the computer refuses to sleep and your bag is burning, your battery is 1% when picking the computer up again.

        I completely understand that with windows, especially with hibernation like what the fuck is “windows modern standby”

        but with Linux, it depends on the distro you use.

        if you’re using something such as Pop_OS, I can pretty much guarantee you you’re never going to run into a power management issue or even a driver issue for that matter since its based off of Ubuntu and is very well supported.
