Well, I was comparing to my experience with both Windows and MacOS or whatever is the thing called.

Windows PC gets slow and laggy after around half a year, it goes slowly so you don’t notice at first, but around half a year later it’s shitty. No matter the hardware. Sure, your $2k laptop won’t be as slow as a random $300 laptop, but the ratio of new/half-a-year-later is more or less the same.

With Macs I have limited experience, but my partner’s Mac was shitting itself all the time, weird issues with login screen being stuck and needing hard reboot, the thing generally being laggy when you try to do more than two things (neither of which necessarily needs to be a demanding task), Finder is pretty much an abomination that no one really knows how to use well and so on.

Sure, Linux is fucked up all the time as well, but my point is it’s not worse than the other two systems, both are broken all the time as well. And the argument that you need terminal to work - have you actually fixed any problem on Windows? Unless a reboot of the system or of some service solves the problem, within 10 minutes you’re either running PowerShell or you’re deep in the registry.

Well, at least Windows seems to be a problem that’s solving itself (albeit very slowly) with how shitty it’s become.

Gaming is no longer a reason, really. 99% of the time it works out of the box.

Isn’t it? I think it’s quite there, unless you get unlucky with hardware.

Not from the US, but Europe is basically worse than the US when it comes to EVs and I’d still never consider a Chinese car. They are not really known for following safety standards. Or any standards for that matter.

It was millennia ago when I first read “don’t ship your own date/time library”. Guess these fellas somehow missed it.

(I did this thing a while ago, but hopefully it doesn’t count since it’s a joke library)
