By striking out these statements, I assume your intent is to retract them.
Since they remain on record (Struck out but visible), I'd like to add a bit of clarity:
Any user can formulate opinions on the use of any product based on their perceptions and experiences. As humans, our natural tendency is to accept our own opinions or assumptions as "Truth".
Windows - as an Operating System, is generally well supported, solid and reliable. It wouldn't be the dominant OS if it lacked these things.
All things that attain dominance, also tend to like to see what more they can gain. Microsoft is not above this and this too, is well established.
Windows 11 has seen dramatic speed improvements over its predecessors. While Linux used to always be faster than Windows, it no longer is King of Speed as it once was. It is not generally slower, but user experiences may vary depending on what hardware they have and what apps they use.
What this means is: Windows is not better than Linux and Linux is not better than Windows. This is because we cannot properly define what "better" means. Both have their upsides and perks, and both have their flaws. Each tends to have different flaws and different upsides - So opinions will vary on what is better, since different people will focus on entirely different things from each other.
Linux has progresseda lot, too. GPU performance is better than it ever has been on Linux, with Nvidia even working with Linux far more than it ever did, where it used to utterly shun all Linux related topics before.
Gaming has improved much on Linux, though it still needs work. There are entire Linux Distros that focus exclusively on gaming and playability and most users today find themselves able to play all their favorite titles, thanks to support from Steam and other developers.
Mac OS is a very strong competitor against Windows. In spite of holding only about 9% of the market, it is on equal footing in profitability. Mac apps are extremely well developed and their desktop experience is superb to many. Yet, users are not flocking to Mac away from Windows.
This is due to a large part to the fact that changing your O.S. requires Commitment, Time, Effort and Learning. It requires change.
People notoriously shy away from many of these things. It is no different for Linux.
The argument that people do not switch because Linux is flawed falls face down when looking at the performance and reliability statistics of Linux.
It is because, like eBay... people don't like to move to a competitor if it means more work for them.
That a user may try out the latest Windows and be pleasantly surprised is a fine thing. But this does not necessitate leading readers to believe that Linux is not viable.
This forum provides support to those seeking to use Linux instead of Windows. As such, while we can recognize reports of subjects that need improvement or fixing; We cannot abide misrepresentation of Linux, used to promote Windows.
It is demoralizing and misleading.
As human beings, we all color our perceptions, and therefor our claims - what we say about a thing - based on the colors we ourselves painted on.
Linux users are biased against Windows (Self included) and Windows fans are biased against Linux.
Fighting over it does not help.
