Windows 11 has given me no issues whatsoever. I’m not apologizing for having a great experience.
Yeah, you should switch to Windows but ethical instead, so ReactOS
I believe everyone has the right to choose whatever works for them. Linux does require you to work through issues at times. I do think people should be aware of Microsoft aiding in the genocide of Palestinians, however.
I’m probably the minority here, but I don’t really want mainstream folk as Linux user. You people already ruined the internet!
I’ve literally never been asked to use Linux, what are you on about
Honestly, I just wait until they ask me how to do something with copilot. I can talk to them for 10 minutes about all the different AI I can use, even openai before explaining that I don’t have to reconfigure office, SharePoint, or M365 to use something else, then I use the L word, and that is why Windows 11 or 12 upgrades disrupt nothing for me. No I didn’t have to buy new devices, no my phone works fine with what I have, yes, I can edit that type of file. No, I am not a hacker. Macs are fine, I just haven’t needed Apple to get a small fast laptop.
Don’t think it’ll stop if you do switch to Linux.
After that they’ll just try to get you to switch distributions, because the grass is always greener at Arch.
Yeah, and even if you’re using Arch BTW, you’re not using it correctly! Why would you install a fully featured DE? Don’t you know how many dependencies that introduces to your custom built super slick OS? Come on, just use I3! Writing basic functionallity like a shutdown menu yourself isn’t that bad!
Nah, The more you learn about mormonism the more you realize how stupid it is.
It’s more like vegans, the more you learn about it the more you realize they’re right but you don’t switch out of convenience and familiarity. The preachiness and eir of superiority is annoying though.
As a vegan on Win 8 i agree
Jesus christ that’s a cursed combination

Don’t feed the trolls
“If you don’t like Linux you’re just a troll” is the EXACT energy OP is talking about. Y’all are insufferable. Linus Torvalds is incredibly well known for being a dick because “what I think is right is most important” and that toxic attitude is what keeps most people from giving Linux a second look.
But totally, people hating on Linux are just trolls. Let me guess, you use Arch? You’re always the most obnoxious.
You know Linus acts like an ass, but Balmer is an ass, and Jobs was a horrible person?
And google is amoral in general.
I’d rather side with the rude for a reason crowd, then the polite to take advantage of you crowd.
That said I use linux for a long time now, and only recently would I recommend it to others. And even that not always.
Under literally every post with the w word the linux cult is trying to concert users. Its helping curating the feed by blocking them though
Psh. In my experience, Linux users don’t beg people to change their OS. They just make fun of you and act like they’re somehow superior to you for the OS you use.
Use whatever Os works for you, no-one should be forced to change what they use.
That’s the thing, many people don’t know there is anything else and don’t realize “their” machines have slowly slid out of order to the point of not “working” anymore.
When I don’t tell someone I know that using a computer does not have to be painful, it feels like an act of cruelty. That only applies to people I know IRL, I feel like most of Lemmy at least knows about Linux. In any case, if anything I’d say the tendency to mention Linux comes from a genuine intention of helping
It’s superior in every way except for the programs you actually use don’t work on it!
You don’t have to use Linux, you can use BSD too
I swapped to linux a while back. The compatibility just isnt there yet unfortunately. Theres too many annoying roadblocks
These people begging to fix your computer for you… Are they in the room with us right now?
Have you heard the good word? Linus is our Lord and Savior. I use arch BTW.
He does act like he is from time to time. And he’s even been doing to pull off the occasional miracle.
Gaben is the fourth Messiah given us by God himself. I use Steam OS which is based on Arch btw.
i have prayed to gaben to allow steam to close when i close it for many years, but it is still not yet possible. when will you answer my prayers, oh mighty gaben?
