  • I did a clean install of Windows last week. It took 20 minutes start to finish, including reinstalling all my software manually.

    To do a clean install of Windows you just have to click the mouse a few times. To do a clean install of Linux you have to do things no average user is reasonably going to do.

    If you’re going to argue the superiority of an operating system, you should at least know what you’re talking about instead of parroting ‘hur dur windows bad.’




  • I feel like it’s a good idea to do a clean install every once in a while regardless of your OS. Shit gets cluttered, you have programs installed you’ll never use again, etc.

    The trick is to keep a setup script maintained so the reinstall is painless.

    And I’m not sure where you’re getting your info that installing or licensing Windows is a hassle. It’s much easier to do a clean install of Windows than it is for Linux, and the installer pretty much requires no configuration.
