When I moved from the US to NZ I got way superior service then I’d ever had in the US and attempted tipping a “por boir” but they refused it and said if I really felt like giving extra they had a charity I could give to.
Unfortunately I have started seeing tips being asked for by POS in Sydney and Auckland and it made me mad and sad.
Also, most the things people complain about Windows are only in Home or Student. I mostly use Pro or Server and those are super reliable.
Long time Windows user tried switching over to various Linux distros recently but 12 of them couldn’t find drivers for my wireless card, ethernet, bluwtooth radio, or GPU. After 80 hours finally got to the point where I could sign in (mint Cinnamon) but it thinks my ethernet is wifi, wifi and bluwtooth don’t work, the GPU usage is buggy, only uses 4gb of my 128gb of ram, uses way more CPU then it should and randomly freezes. Oh and it won’t recognize my USB 3.0+ ports, only the 2.0 I’ve spent over 200 hours since trying to debug why to no avail. And none of my games run properly, even with Proton or Wine. They stutter, freeze crash, or spaz out.
There’s a lot of people here saying that you just need to learn Linux, but I don’t want to have to learn how to write my own hardware drivers thank you very much.
I can get fresh Windows installed, fully functioning with all the software I want in about an hour with full performance. Meanwhile after 300 hours with Linux I’ve turned a $5000 desktop into the functionality of a $200 chromebook.
