Ask HN: What tools make using Windows more bearable (for Linux folk)?
2 by mkeedlinger | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I've used Linux exclusively on my devices for years, and it's been great! It's hard for me to articulate how wonderful using an OS that's part of an ecosystem (FOSS software) that favors user freedom over profit has been. But a situation has come up that forces me to use Windows again, so does anyone have suggestions for tools that make it more acceptable? There are some things I imagine I could search for like something to stop forced updates and built-in ads (looking at you Candy Crush), but I would love to hear about tools I wouldn't even know to look for! (PS, Before I make anyone angry, I'm sure there are plenty of people who prefer Windows to Linux and find it quite bearable! I mean no disrespect, use what you will.) edit: formatting (which didn't work how I expected)
