boot a fucking live cd you turnip

And what exactly would Linux booting tell me?

That's not a bad idea actually, if you have a spare USB stick you can try booting a live distro to see if it's your hardware that's fucking with you

it would tell you if your machine is taking a fucking age because of bad hardware or a bad windows install

Any OS would work in that case, but Linux is free and all

So is windows if you know where to look

fuck me

Well, easy to make a live version of

Literally all you have to do is put the iso on a flash drive, set the BIOS to boot from it, and bam

Yes I know

There are entire distributions built around just using it in that manner to troubleshoot stuff

but it's linux ewie no can't do it boohoo

Right now I'm working on my CPU oc

>sfc /scannow if u think windows has missing shit

32C peak load 😂

I've already force checked windows

I'm still stuck with Windows on my desktop because muh gaymin

Done the diagnostic repair

still nothing ? 😦

What exactly is so wrong with Windows? What does Linux do that windows doesn't, other than a laundry list of minor inconveniences?

A number of things

stop being such an autistic retard

no u

was the problem recent?

No

My personal favorite is that Linux is highly modular. If you think any part is retarded, you can just swap it for something else. Think the file manager is AIDS? Use another one. Don't like the interface? Swap DEs

we're not trying to convince to switch, I'm not at least

Yes but is that *useful?* Is it worth slashing your software library?

Windows is also a security nightmare for a myriad of reasons

hardware than is good start to check but just make sure you dont have to many startup apps they really eat startup time

and obviously it's entirely subjective and depends what you do with a computer

Performance-wise Linux runs a lot better since there's less bloat. Privacy-wise, the entire code is open source and free to audit. No backdoors here.

Yes, a lot of this comes down to what you value

i can't do my job without Windows so I use Windows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But right now, the software library is literally the only reason I even entertain Windows, and that's shrinking by the day

if I was primarily a software developer I would absolutely main Linux

The only thing that handicaps me on my Linux laptop is processing power. Other than a few games, there's nothing I can't do on there that I can do on my Windows desktop

Exactly, linux appeals to software developers, it is made by and for power users and not the general user

and how is that an argument against anything?

Because it's a headache to anyone who doesn't write code all day anyway
