  The kernel is one of the main issues. Nobody can touch that hot mess other than Microsoft, and they do a crappy job at that. And you’re the one that brought up the bloatware, and said it can be fully disabled (which isn’t true). As for government use, read a bit and see how many governments are moving away from Windows, and many more that already have. Dude, nobody cares if you want to use Windows, have at it, but there’s no need for you to try to push that crap on some of us that have already been there and now know better. Enjoy Cortana, or copilot or whatever they are calling that dumb shit these days.

    I’m not a windows user, I would be considered more of a power user, because I use it professionally and at home, both handling servers and software development. Don’t get me wrong I hate windows user interface more then anything. But I’m not in denial, windows kernel is a very good kernel for gaming, it has a lot of features that doesn’t exist yet. Where do you think the kernel devs for linux take their inspiration from, my god they are adding stuff like windows NT thread primitives to the linux kernel.

    First of all, you’re just making up stuff, you have no idea what the code base of the Microsoft kernel looks like. Second, who do you think develops the linux kernel, a lot of them are Microsoft engineers, most linux kernel devs nowadays are hired by big tech companies, because they all have a stake in linux, it’s one of the main reasons why linux is evolving so rapidly.

    Third looking from the outside the Microsoft kernel is pretty amazing for what it does, backwards compatible, you can still run windows 98 software on windows 11, it’s fast and efficient, you have yet to prove that it’s slower than linux.

    Bro no large or medium sized government entities are using anything else, even if they do, it’s for a little while and then they go back. You know why? Microsoft office, exchange, outlook, there is no other good alternative, good lucking telling their employees that they are going to learn libre office and linux. They can’t even handle windows properly.

    Most if them have already spent years building their infrastructure around windows and Microsoft office suite, and they are not changing anytime soon.
