Alright /g/. I've decided to run away from the neckbeard autistic faggotry that is the Linux community. I've been using Linux for over 2 years and have had it with the frustration, lack of quality drivers, and shit-tier support community. Today, /g/entlemen, I would like to join the glorious Windows master race.

Users craft their setup to their liking with Linux, and the only poor drivers are for AMD's GPUs.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT USE WINDOWS 8 AS YOUR STARTING WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM.

get windows 7 instead, there is a reason that a flame war pops up whenever someone recommends win8

I'm using a customized XFCE4 setup on Fedora right now. Yes, I do have a Radeon, and it sucks being with and without Catalyst. But it doesn't matter. Linux offers nothing but disadvantages to Windows, and almost everything on Linux can be achieved somehow on Windows.

>One of the worst aspects of Windows 8 for power users is that the product's very name has become a misnomer. "Windows" no longer supports multiple windows on the screen. Win8 does have an option to temporarily show a second area in a small part of the screen, but none of our test users were able to make this work.

WTF is this true?
only one window open at a time?
