    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.

      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.

      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.


      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”

        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.
