Why do you choose Ubuntu but not Windows or MacOS?

[Skaperen]

any reference to "why Linux or BSD or Unix or MacOSX" tends to be Windows bashing.

Hmmmm...

This seems to be devolving into a Windows-bashing exercise.

Might it be possible for this thread, or particular posts, to avoid the unpleasant fate of bashing threads?

A bit of bashing fits the OP.

However, with my previous comment regarding the updating during a presentation, etc, etc, etc. I don't bash on Windows 10. I think Windows 10 is a great operating system. It's just that there are things about it that are enabled by default. You can turn off automatic updates, or defer your updates. So there are solutions to these issues. The problem I have is that they are turned on by default. Along with some other things, like Telemetry, that cannot be completely turned off, even with after-market applications.

Ubuntu (or Kubuntu, in my case) just works better for me. I feel more "at home" when using it. It uses less system resources than Windows 10, and I can actually "feel" the programs running faster.

Although, I am not sure how many Linux users would still be Linux (only, no dual booting) users if Windows 10 fixed their problems. That goes for Mac as well.

Pretty easy to see how this can turn into a bashing-session.

Whatever one may feel "fits" or "tends to", bashing of other OSes is strictly forbidden here.

Thanks for your input everyone.

Chat thread notwithstanding ... closed.
