You can not remove what is not there in the first place 😛

when you know all the system components you cannot bloat it. On Windows it's impossible as even Microsoft don't know its OS's components.

Seemingly hibernate forever without issue. I started a game of Ratchet and Clank months ago on my SteamDeck. Every couple of weeks I'll wake the SteamDeck up... play a bit... and send it to sleep again. I don't have to load the game up again and watch the splash screens... kinda magic.

Release version naming in a consistent and easy to understand manner? This has always been a bugbear of mine.

Windows 1, windows 2, windows 3, 3.1. Simple, then we go to windows 95 & 98. Followed by.. Windows ME, XP and VISTA.

Then back to numbers (that make no sense!) windows 7, 8.. Then 10, 11? What?! When 7 came out I assumed they were returning to simple numbers, but win7 isn’t even the 7th incarnation of windows desktop.

Lets me run a Nextcloud server in a Docker container on an old desktop PC connected to the internet via a domestic copper/fibre ADSL connection.

For me personally? Provide my family's bread and butter. I know jack about Windows.

Both can calculate any computable function given enough time and resources. You don't have to pay the man for Linux to get it done though.

- run on old/ low performance machines without a problem
- have no bloat/ ads/ tracking
- beeing an OS which truly can be used on a daily basis

Install on multiple computers, as many as you want or need.

For me this is a huge advantage linux has over windows. I build my own computers and I’m not buying a second windows licence just to maintain my old system after upgrading, and I’m certainly not buying two every few years microsoft demands I upgrade (practically at gunpoint!) to the new incarnation of windows vista.

@Abigyil True, Microsoft expects people to pay up every time they introduce a new Windows version.
