Interesting to see people who argue for free speech but also are against it.
Make all these false claims about Windows being buggy, then show KDE Plasma favor (which prioritizes features over bugs and often includes release notes like 'a bazillion bug fixes'). IOW's KDE admits what they don't.
- Lie: There are no good tiling Window Managers on Windows. Komorebi is an excellent well documented dynamic tiling window manager in heavy development who's dev posts regularly on YouTube. -Before this, we had Workspacer which seems abandoned and not developed for Windows 11 (though it mostly works). GlazeWM is like a better version of I3 (manual tiler) for windows that has also seen great strides in recent development. - Lie: Windows is not customizable like Linux. Windows isn't as easy to fuck up as Linux. -That doesn't make it 'not customizable'. Watch any of this guy's recent videos and see someone 'customizing' Windows in real time: https://www.youtube.com/@LGUG2Z - Lie: Linux is more secure and doesn't spy because 'all eyes on code'. This is just basically unsubstantiated bullshit propaganda that doesn't appeal to common sense (try auditing Firefox source code, malicious code can be hidden and fragmented among multiple files/ directories, FOSS devs lack incentive for reputation and are held less responsible). Microsoft has been around since near the beginning of desktop computers and hasn't lost our trust or sold us into FEMA camps like those conspiracy theorists like to believe. FOSS is less secure because people (anyone) can read the source and more easily find vulnerabilities as opposed to paid auditors. The thing that 'might' make Linux safer is them having such a tiny market share on desktop that they're not a target for most bad actors. There have been decade old bugs found in major FOSS projects, multiple times Linux has been responsible for destroying hardware (without warranty - displays, optical drives and even mainboards), and all this kind of stuff can be found if people simply used a search before parroting false claims. RE: "Microsoft found guilty" - Multi-national corporations find it better to just pay fines and follow directives rather than to employ legal teams to fit all the arbitrary laws of different countries (and still fail). Any large corporation like this will have lawsuits against them. People should likewise be holding governments responsible for oversites.

Why is there an issue with 'trans' but not 'women's'? If they're going to divide up (exclude) sexes, perhaps make a 'trans' competition too.

VLC is heavily bloated with features you need a guide to use (may as well use a command line tool if you need to refer to a guide every time). It crashes (or did about 2 years ago) some of our Linux systems. MPV spanks the piss out of it.

I wouldn't know any differences, as I wasn't using Linux back when sxiv stopped being developed.

I used to have Dolby Digital and DTS audio. I don't anymore, thanks to Pipewire. Meanwhile, my custom DWM works flawlessly.

AFAIK, it just came out of 'early development', and I haven't seen any publicity on it since. It's also only supported by a few distros. -Fedora isn't one, and considering it's one of the distros that's pushing hard on Wayland.

Sway isn't dynamic. Sway is for idiots that try to do everything 'new user-friendly' when it's barely any easier (if at all) than much better options.

Might be the reason I switch from Fedora to OpenSUSE. While it solves problems for some, it's not ready for others. One of the few (legit) reasons to use Linux is the dynamic tiling window managers. -Wayland (atm) takes away that reason.

Block the bootloader from updating, use LTS kernel for stability. Checking Arch's page didn't work for me, btw. I ended up switching to Fedora because I was hit by every breakage (4 in a row), LTS kernel didn't work with my ethernet, and ethernet broke after an update. -Some people have great luck and some don't.
