@teto @John_Darksoul software compatibility is one big advantage of windows.
if you've got software from 20 years ago written for XP, that came on a CD and was never updated afterwards, odds are it's still gonna work today on a windows 11 machine thanks to the giant bloated mass of ancient libraries for backwards compatibility.
linux not so much. if it's a binary that old you might just be shit out of luck, but something source based might let you tard wrangle it into working after tracking down the 948534534523456 compiler errors.
God help you if you want to use anything python or nodejs on either OS, it will be mad about the version every time and will need virtualenv or the similar thing for node i can't remember.
