True, but not really relevant to the consumer.

very relevant. It demonstrates that where stability and speed matter,
you don't pick windows



But if you want to be able to use it and buy games and other useful
stuff that works out of the box you buy windows or a mac.
If you are running linux then you have to investigate everything very
carefully to see if it will work with or without having to recompile or

I haven't explicitly complied anything fore at least 10 years to run
Linux.

And even then it was only weird stuff to play with.

I can cope with you liking windows, but not totally utter ignorant

linux unless you write something to make them work.

Busybox doesnt work on windows. Mate doesn't work on windows.
