      8 was INCREDIBLY fast

      It also used little resources and it was the last time Microsoft pulled a massive dev effort to modernize almost everything in Windows, significantly evolving it’s display and rendering pipeline and making a whole different design language

      8 touch interface was also by far the best touch interface I’ve used

    The only thing I disagree with here is Win8 being apparently better than Win10.

    Win8 was really damn annoying to use without a touchscreen, and while Win8.1 did help, Win10 was by far the better implementation of PC Metro IMO.

    Having said that, Win11 is exactly where it needs to be. It’s all of Win10’s worst traits cranked up to 11 with a heaping of it’s own bullshit and spyware on top

      Windows 10 should be a dead cat bounce on this chart. Better than 8, worse than 7, better than 11 by a lot.

    Windows 10 on the same level as ME and Vista?.. And worse than 8 with that fucking Metro UI?

    Ok. Ok…oh…kay.

    Look I like Linux and want to eventually abandon windows for it, but this is just mindless circle jerking here

      Definitely, yes. Win8 was unusable on desktops but was pretty good on tablets, win10 sucks on both. But the main thing is that spyware/bloatware explosion happened in win10. Xbox services, onedrive, cortana, that weather thing with msn news, fucking candy crush preinstalls, etc, all came with win10.

    I would put win8 lower and win10 as a slight rise but not up to win 7 territory and then plummet. osx should plummet with the iosification of it.

        And half of the settings moved from old control panel to a new crappy UI settings. At least commit and move all of them.

        I never find what I am looking for in there, without opening and closing a bunch of windows. I swear they regularly move location of some settings. Search function is pretty bad too.

          Oh they want to, but i bet that shit’s so intertwined that removing old audio menu will make your display output stop working.

            Agreed, but to say an operating system is so much worse because 3 clicks when comparing overall functionality seems highly exaggerated. There is a reason most companies went from 7 to 10 and skipped 8. They are also going to 11. You could argue that enterprise OS’s are separate though, but really they are very similar, and the reason windows does so well in companies is because most users have it at home. If most users go to something else at home, (or simply stop using home computers with the switch to phones, tablets) then enterprise will change and slowly feed the prominent OS for work back to home use. It’s a catch 22. If the standard user has to use something 40 hours a week at work, when they come home that is what they will be used to. Also what their kids will become used to. But companies don’t like to change what people are used to, as it slows production, and costs a lot more in training.

              Yup, reasonable points.

              But, it is 3 clicks for now, but it might not even be an option later on. Yea yea, doomer and tinfoilhats. :)

    Great meme post! This comment section is a scorching hot dumpster fire that beamed carcinogens directly into my retinas. Thanks I hate it.

    Windows and even Mac are clearly superior. As shown in the graph eventhough Linux is getting better it never even got close.

      I think the way you worded it doesn’t make it obvious that you’re criticizing the graph specifically and not the os, hence your downvotes. But yes, that graph is absolute mess.

        That wink was somewhat intended ;) The graphs are the intended primary meaning, but Linux usability has actually been complicated in the past.

        I.e. I was unable to get a crappy 300$ Laptop running with Linux as a student (ca. 2016) to be used as a youtube/Netflix machine. But that is way in the past. It worked barely when using Windows and I had the hope to prolong its life with Linux. There were some complicated graphic driver issues.
