I'm a Linux user but not everyone has that privilege.

I just want everyone to have an OS that works for them, and I'm getting kinda tired of that being a hot take.

I can understand that point. But putting more effort into making windows half normal and kinda usable seems like wasting time, Its an uphill battle that you are loosing anyway at some point.

Sometimes linux is just not possible with the hardware :(

I tried my best, but neither my SP7's touch screen or pen functionality work properly with linux (even with the linux-surface-kernel). And there's still no good alternatives for SPs in the market either, for tablet+computer+works properly for art (at least any I could ever afford)

That sucks :(

I like you.

I'm as much a nerd as the next, but I also play a lot of different games, with a lot of different people on different platforms, and that's not feasible (yet) on anything other than windows.

I hate it, but it is what it is.
