The only Android phone I'll buy tbh.

I tried HTC and Samsung in the past and hated them. I started with the Nexus 5 and never looked back. I've had a few cheap Android phones through work and they have all been crap.

Not to say Pixles don't have flaws. They often have annoying bugs that Google seems to take their time fixing.

A very easy to follow channel explaining all things computers. It should come to no surprise the guy is (was?) a lecturer at university

Where I am we'd just say excuse me and they would move. However the point is that people are so in their own world they don't think about others not being able to get by.

You're correct but you get what I was trying to say.

It doesn't get slow. Modern software just gets better resulting in more powerful hardware needed which results in older hardware feeling slow.

Not compatible with my Pixel. Possibly a Samsung only app.

I'm a Windows user at home because there are two games that aren't supported on Linux. However I run Linux on a second SSD as i hope to move away from Windows one day.

Windows just works. When I install Linux it all looks great until I start to use it and find small issues. Like my Yubikey doesn't work so I can't get into certain websites. Once I install another app I get that working and then spend an hour trying to get the Bitwarden desktop client to work. I result in a forum post before being told that security keys are not supported by the application and Linux. It's a Windows only feature currently.
Videos in Firefox lag. I've done nothing special with the OS, this is Firefox that is installed with the OS. I'm yet to fix this but also yet to investigate the issue.

Every time I use Linux I first have to fix things to get it working. I've never had this with Windows. I'm sure people will down vote me to hell, with this being a Linux community, but that's just my experience.

OP is just wanting to shit on Windows because this is a Linux community.

The only time I've ever had to reinstall Windows is many years of it being installed and the user has dicked around and installed shitty software.

Windows is not hard to troubleshoot. It's such a widely used OS that you can Google any error and find someone with the same issue.

Windows even created a factory reset option so you don't have to reinstall. I've never seen it used though as I have never seen Windows get to this state.

The guy behind the camera is a fucking cunt. Telling staff they can't do anything. Then after his beating helps him avoid the cops because he's his 'brother'. Fucking shameful.
