We have the same point.

1. Bad IT will destroy both Win and Linux systems
2. People on Lemmy are much less likely to be fans of either OS
3. Advanced stuff can be done better using scripting languages and depending upon the case, it’s fine to not give a -ive point to the OS for not implementing advanced stuff in GUI
4. Users who don’t try to understand what’s going on before pressing Next or Y or Enter will mess up stuff.

In fact, I was starting to learn PowerShell back when I decided to jump to Linux.

There are a few things I have to differ about:

1. The Win PCs at my previous workplace were pretty standardised. They were all same models, bought in batches with contracts with the OEMs. Also, the Win PCs had better H/W 7th gen i7s vs the makeshift Ubuntu setup I had made with a 7th gen i5 with similar RAM packages.
2. Even though I give a lot of flak to GNOME, it still worked better than said Windows setups.
3. A laptop of mine (Win 10) that was going bad fast, due to inadequate cooling, was fixed using Manjaro KDE, which if you try yourself, will realise is actually uselessly pretty heavy on resources due to extra configurations (as kompared to stock KDE). Despite that, I managed to go for higher workloads than Win on that dying laptop. (mainly using Office programs and Web browsers).
   Similarly, I am also able to run KDE Plasma on my Core 2 Quad, which, even though is slow (due to high load on Secondary Memory), still managed to be as good as Windows 7, if not better, at basic tasks.

Coming back to the original topic:
My main point is that the main thing that is going for Windows, is not any sort of Objectively Higher Quality design, but it’s current popularity. Similar points for Adobe software and MS Office.

On the other hand, Autodesk software for Engineering CAD does have a Objective upper hand, which cannot be trumped by just people one day deciding to shift to FOSS.
