    I have literally never encountered a Windows Bro who says how awesome Windows is and how you should totally use it and it’s the best option and anything else is trash. No. They do not apply equally to Windows because Windows users don’t fucking care. That’s the difference. I don’t give a shit what OS I use as long as it works which is why Windows works well enough and why the constant arguments about switching don’t make sense. It works, unlike all the whiny complaints to the alternative. In my entire life I’ve never had Windows fuck up something that I didn’t actively cause myself. Switching to Linux when it’s filled with salivating cultists over some ones and zeros and who actively get off and bitching about Windows at every possible opportunity? Oh yeah. THose are some people I really wanna hang out with.

    Hard pass.

      Everything works.

      I’ve never had a problem with Windows that I couldn’t fix by a restart.

      Windows is still the most used operating system because it just [works].

      not everyone using the operating system wants to do the inane bullshit that Linux users do and some of us want to just have it do the bare minimum.

      Have you never met them because… it’s you? Have I solved the trick question? :-)

        Nah. Because I’m not saying how awesome it is. I’m not saying that windows is amazing and how everyone should switch. I’m not suggesting that windows or Microsoft is better. I don’t idolize gates like y’all do Torvalds.

        No trick question here. They literally don’t exist. If windows actually stopped working for me then I’d switch but it doesn’t for the vast majority of people.

        Y’all just gotta lie and invent problems to justify your desperate notion that this year will be the year of Linux when no one wants to be around you.

      That’s probably true, but that’s not really a selling point.

      “This is better because literally nobody likes it. Nobody recommends it. It’s great to use something people barely tolerate because they don’t know better”

        Why do you think nobody likes Windows? I think you have been living in the Linux bubble for too long.

        Nobody recommends Windows because it is the bloody default. It is like recommending to live on Earth.

          I do not recommend living on earth. Have you seen this shit?

          Jokes aside, people don’t like windows, they just use it as the default. Like the old people who has an iPhone or an android and they see it as the “norm” and don’t like the change. That’s why (aside from enshitification) people tend to dislike the windows updates.

          That’s why not a lot of people that uses Mac or Linux for a long time permanently switch to windows. From windows to Linux or Mac is more likely to stick.

        Cool. I’m not here selling windows though. I’m just saying why I’ll never use Linux. Weird that none of you can tell the difference.

      You can switch to Linux without having to hang out with Linux Bros. I use both OS and don’t hang out with either.

      Mac fans are a different story.

        No you can’t because shit never works and you have to go asking or googling on how to fix it.

            Why are you acting like there is only one MS website with answers?

            The userbase of Windows is so big, there are so many different communities that you can join. At least one of them will be fine.

            If you have 2 different fora for a Linux distro, it would be many.

              Because there is only one official MS forum, and it’s shit.

              All the other forums you refer to are run by fanboys.

            Yes. It is. However I’ve almost never had to use it when with Linux I’ve gotta search every third thing going wrong. Then when those things go wrong I have to end up making my own post or descending into the toxic cesspit that is any Linux community.
