Nah. Everything works. You guys like to invent problems and say that nothing will ever work yet… Windows is still the most used operating system because it just does. I’ve never had a problem with Windows that I couldn’t fix by a restart. It’s almost like 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.
But good to know that literally any differing opinion to your own is classified as ‘bait’. Another reason to avoid Linux users at all costs.
I know this is bait but literally just web browsing on a windows desktop 2 days ago made it bluescreen. W10 even, so can’t even blame the shitshow that is W11.
I guess it goes for your argument though of stuff that can be fixed with a reboot… 🙃
And yet when I use it things break. You guys always act like it doesn’t happen, but it does.
I’d rather have a system that works, is uncomplicated, and requires no maintenance. Where I don’t need to constantly paste shit into a command line to get stuff to work, try system restores, etc.
Funny to see a Star Trek reference in your name and then the comment below is simping for an evil trillion dollar company while shitting on the collective collaborative efforts of the many, too. Talk about missing the point.
“Paste shit into a command line to get stuff to work”
Like Linux? Or did I just pick a crappy distro as a beginner? On Nobara OS I couldn’t get a onedrive folder to work without konsole, and the one were setup was simple enough to work, I’m having bugs with files not syncing.
A case could be made that I should use some Linux focused cloud with a flatpack install, but I can’t since my uni relies on MS. Admittedly, an issue because of their monopoly, but one that makes switching an effort for normal people anyways.
No joke, good for you. Linux has its problems and even though I think they’re worth going through a lot of people don’t. That’s ok. But you can’t deny Windows has its own problems :P
Linux Bros are the most intolerable group of technousers on the internet. The constant bickering at literally every OS outside of Linux and then the endless bitching inside of it about which distro you should use. Then there’s the fact that Linux is not remotely intuitive to use and everytime I’ve tried to switch in the past just requires constant searching of obscure forums to get the information that I need on how to run what I’m trying to, only to be met with the same whiny bullshit about using the wrong distro or not doing something the right way.
The OS is a nightmare to use for people who don’t want to have to learn everything over from scratch, something that Linux users seem incapable of grasping, and the people using it have never once made me feel like I am welcome to using it but that I should avoid them at all costs.
That’s why you couldn’t pay me. Because then I’d have to be dealing with sycophants.
Does it change your opinion that microsoft and apple are using your comfortability with using their systems to prevent competition and lock you into a system that over time keeps violating your privacy more while gives you less freedom in how you want to use it?
It is not comfortability keeping me on windows. It is the fact thag Linux does not work adequately without work that should have already been done, forcing you to do it, and the fanboys of Linux make the entire ecosystem seem toxic as fuck. Your question is based off of an incorrect assumption.
You should do what makes you happy, but you’ve made a few of assumptions in these comments. The Linux of today is a lot more stable and user friendly than the linux of a decade ago. I installed Linux Mint a few months ago, easier to install than windows. It installed all drivers with no issues, without added input from me, worked perfectly from day 1. It as faster and more stable. Was basically a 5 minute install. I’m not a linux fanboy, I basically moved because windows 11 is malware and i didn’t want to upgrade past win 10, it was requiring more maintenance than linux. Windows is no longer software as a service, it’s made all of your data the product to sell everything to companies and governments, just like social media. By all means stay off Linux if you don’t think you’ll like it.
There is a word for intrusive, unwanted software that intervenes in your work to advertise or engage you in unwanted interaction. The same word describes software that constantly monitors and exfiltrates what’s going on between you and your data.
“I don’t like the most outspoken people who like it” isn’t exactly a rational reason to inform one’s choices in Tech, more so given that you don’t actually have to be in contact with such people to use that Tech.
It’s like refusing to play a single player game because there are fanboys for that game on the Internet.
If making your choices by following a random crowd of people you don’t even know personally and don’t even have to talk to is the most low-self confidence imature thing one can do, making your choices by setting yourself in opposition to a random crowd of people you don’t even know personally and don’t even have to talk to is the second most low-self confidence imature thing one can do.
Why the fuck should you care about their opinion either way? They do they, you do you.
I’d like you to go ahead and read my comment again so you can see the other reasoning there too instead of just hyper focusing on one part and neglecting the rest.
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.
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.
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.
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”
You couldn’t pay me to move to Linux.
Sucks to be you.
Maybe he does it for free.
Nah. Everything works and I don’t have to deal with linux bros.
Everything works? On Windows?
Now I know your comments are just bait.
Then stop taking the bait.

Lol just recently Microslop broke the shutdown function.
I click start, I click shutdown, it shuts down. So unless you are talking about some obscure shit that no one really uses, that’s a lie.
Just because it doesn’t happen to you specifically it doesn’t mean it’s not true.
https://lemmy.world/post/41756082
It was literally reported on by tech news outlets. You can get your head out of the sand, it is possible, I believe in you.

I mean it fixed the problem automatically, didn’t it? /s
Yeah. Sure it did.
You want a pic for proof? Ok, no worries.

People like you make the world a living hell
Yes. I make the world a living hell for avoiding toxicity.
No joke, good for you. Linux has its problems and even though I think they’re worth going through a lot of people don’t. That’s ok. But you can’t deny Windows has its own problems :P
None that I’ve encountered that have been remotely as severe as the ones I encountered while using Linux.
Then you made a good choice sticking with Windows.
Yeah. Sort of my point. The vast majority of users will never encounter problems severe enough to cause switching to a backwards OS
Oh I completely disagree. There are severe enough issues for users to switch to Linux, they’re just not severe enough for you.
Why?
Linux Bros are the most intolerable group of technousers on the internet. The constant bickering at literally every OS outside of Linux and then the endless bitching inside of it about which distro you should use. Then there’s the fact that Linux is not remotely intuitive to use and everytime I’ve tried to switch in the past just requires constant searching of obscure forums to get the information that I need on how to run what I’m trying to, only to be met with the same whiny bullshit about using the wrong distro or not doing something the right way.

Malware
I don’t so much love Linux as hate Windows 11.

Or don’t. Could not give less of a fuck.
Ima do me. You do you.
All of your points apply equally to Windows (unless you are a corporate client).
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.

Hard pass.
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.
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.

Excuse me, If these Linux users weren’t so autistic they’d be very upset.
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”
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.
Haven’t said you’re selling it. I even said nobody is. Weird you didn’t understand.
