Doesn’t let you just do whatever you want. I turned off the windows firewall in windows 7 and went on with my life. Windows 11 wouldn’t let me download updates with the firewall off.

I’ll tell you why I use it: to use open source software. I noticed whatever freemium program I used on Windows that was cool eventually got enshittified and became spyware. Like fucking clockwork, the author of uTorrent sold out and all the new versions became cancer
Linux has better support for a lot of open source software, you can use a package manager to download most of it, and flatpak for a bunch that’s not there
It’s just so much easier than trying to find the official site for the program you want.
Now that I think about it, that original meme was not true either. My friends always argued about windows vs. Mac, and continued to Android vs. iPhone
Like, people talk about OSes in general conversation
Desktop mode is kind of funky, though. You need to open steam to type on the on-screen keyboard, lol. App store got patched and it’s better, but sometimes the apps get stuck downloading and I need to open up the command line to make them install
