Why?
If your reason is games, you can fuck off to /v/.

There is no reason to use the proprietary Windows operating system in our current age of existence. If your employer is forcing you to use proprietary software, you should seek an alternative or find a new job; they are oppressing your individual freedoms.

>Inferior default filesystem
NTFS is objectively garbage. NTFS relies on an MFT (Along with a copy of it) to store ALL your file metadata for the entire disk, so if these structures get corrupted then your data is top tier fucked. There are more reasons why NTFS is crap, but if that alone isn't enough to deter you from using NTFS, then you're an idiot.

Face it, Windows is nothing but a surveillance and marketing tool for large government and corporate entities.

No, fuck you. You can't just ignore an entire featureset that has always driven a significant portion of the entire Home PC market's reason to exist.

You can't deny the truth, hipsters. Games were and are a vital medium through which the PC market survives. You wouldn't be here to smugpost on your loonix with anime-themed screenfetch without them making the PC building hobby as accessible as it is today.

Face it, windows is the best for new technologies, call me when linux get day 1 support for absolutly everything like windows.
>>
>>61657636
Because you don't have to be a 1337 supah skillz programmer to run windows. Whereas even getting linux to an install screen is an exercise in frustration if you don't know how to init the grub on the kernel panic master boot file from dev/null/0.

Huh.

Because it just werks. Ive used windows my entire life and I like to stick with whats familiar.
I embraced the botnet a long time ago, it doesnt matter what os you use unless youre completely unplugged someone can and will spy on you.
Windows has the largest selection of software (including vidya) due to being the most widely used, even if most is closed source (rms can eat shit for all I care).
Every time Ive tried linux Ive had a mediocre experience when it comes to features I would care about that I couldnt get on windows and getting it to werk to my liking without hours of tinkering to soothe my autism.
Im also not a programmer type and the only text editor I use is notepad and it does everything I want out of one. I dont need any of that other stuff which might or mihht not work better on linux.

>>61657873
That's funny. Gaymers are cancer, they advocate for denuvo and don't give a shit anything that win10, Intel, nvidia, drm, etc... that's why everything is getting worse and worse cuz that pile of asshole still buying and defending to death all of that bs.
