@dushman In 2010 I guess the best windows was 7 or Vista, I don't remember well, but I do remember I used to hate it. I know in security they has improved a lot, but the sensation of smooth is still the same to me. Now things seems to be better but I guess it's because of SSD, not because Windows has really improved.
In anyway, I like the sensation of being free, and that's something I only get with GNU/Linux or BSD's. Artix is a nice distro, I am glad more people are using it.
@jrballesteros05 @dushman of course a good free OS is the better choice ;)
