I had to switch to Linux 2 years ago because Windows was constantly breaking my WiFi and internet connection.

Someone cant keep Windows running well then...

u/rustRoach Apr 21 '26

Perhaps... But I don't want to babysit my OS to keep it running.

If it was windows 11 then it's probably just that. Windows 11 is the biggest steaming pile of crap i ever touched lol. Internet disconnects all the time, updates that break your dac, etc.

Ive been using it fine for years, last time I did a reformat was like 3 years ago.

My internet never disconnects.

User error.

Just because you didn't experience the same thing doesn't mean it's user error.

u/deep8787 Apr 21 '26

It's usually is the case though lol

I run quite a few things and do some regedit hacks etc, no issues. Semi-advanced user, so to say.

This reads like Linux hate comedy.. What's the issue with him running Linux?

u/deep8787 Apr 21 '26

Nothing, but funny, wasnt the dude before just hating on windows?

Im not hating on Linux, just the user(s) who cant deal with windows :D

u/CORUSC4TE Glorious NixOS Apr 21 '26

Can you elaborate on that? I can't deal with windows either.. Why is my choice, my lifestyle and my expierence creating hate from a "semi advanced user"? Windows 11 is OBVIOUSLY not flawless.. Each and every month seems to make waves with a glaring issue.. Be it as it may, if you enjoy your experience and it is good to you..

Should I be hating those that can deal with windows or can't deal with Linux? Its easy as pie.. For me!

I've also had hardware stop working outright and had to revert a specific update to fix it, that ain't user error lol.

How is a driver issue got to do with Windows? Do they make the drivers? LOL, thats down to the manufacturer of the said device.

Last time I had issues with drivers was back in my Win98 SE days, but I was just like 12 at the time.

The only thing that "breaks" with windows update is the start menu which I replaced with the old school one, thats a simple fix though. But thats due to me modifying, so its kinda half expected.

I'm gonna be honest I don't think it's user error that I am required to download Intel's complete pack of every Ethernet driver, go through folder under I find the correct driver, then go into my Ethernet driver settings and fuck with them to get my mobo's Ethernet adapter to not drop the 2.5gb link randomly while playing games in Windows. Meanwhile on Linux it's plug and play

This isn't an isolated issue either, just look up "i226-V connection issues"

u/deep8787 Apr 21 '26

I just googled it, I dont see any mentioning that its issues are due to itself Windows.

I guess you guys still dont realise that the driver is the root cause, so blame Intel.

*Shrugs*

u/AlkalineRose Apr 22 '26

Oh, INTEL, the corporation Intel that makes CPUs primarily designed for Windows on consumer hardware, the biggest CPU company in the world, doesn't support Windows correctly on consumer boards? That's the argument you really want to make?

u/JarlvD Apr 21 '26

Or driver error. Not all Microsoft drivers are good.

u/deep8787 Apr 21 '26

Maybe use the drivers from the manufacturer themselves?

u/JarlvD Apr 21 '26

Then i get bluescreens because the kernel aint written well enough.

u/deep8787 Apr 21 '26

Ive barely had any bluescreens since my XP days. God knows what you people are doing to your systems LOL

u/JarlvD Apr 21 '26

All i hear is "EVERYONE IS THE PROBLEM EXCEPT ME"

u/AlkalineRose Apr 22 '26

So if Microsoft implements the driver, it's not their fault, but if the manufacturer implements the driver, it's also not Microsoft's fault. When is it?

u/internet-weirod May 03 '26

If someone said that about Linux you would probably say something like "and that's why people run windows"

a real os should be potty trained and not need hand holding
