Windows vs Linux is similar to the chess.com vs lichess.org comparison.

chess.com is worse performance, bloated to the moon w/ ads and popups, costs money, not open-source. And lichess.org is the opposite in every way (free, way higher quality, zero ads).

I can't believe MS would put ads in system tools. What the hell are they thinking!? I've used linux for 5 years now and not looking back!
