As a Linux user I feel like windows users live in a bubble where where computers are more or less expected to behave like diseased wild animals rather than machines.

Good joke. Sounds like you haven't used windows since ME.
I came up with that idea (windows makes computers behave like organisms and not machines) during an internship where everyone was required to use corporate computers running Windows 10.

I haven’t used it on a personal computer since XP though so I guess you’re not far off.

Diseased animal fits Windows 8.0 quite nicely I think.
On the other hand, I could scale my external monitor perfectly with W10, while on Linux the answer is still xrandr. Which makes everything blurry. Unless you scale Gnome/KDE to 2x and downscale.. which makes everything slow.

Gah... i hate computers.
