Just once I would love to open one of these threads without seeing people shitting… on Linux.

Linux is not even the one doing anything wrong but people gotta rag on whoever recommends it as an alternative. This is getting more annoying than however annoying they say Linux users are.

“Hey I have a problem with my Samsung”

“Drop it and get an iPhone instead”

This is what you guys are like.

When people tell you to use Linux, they’re not telling you that to solve your immediate problem (e.g. your “show desktop” icon has been replaced with a different icon), but they are telling you to get out of your abusive relationship with Microsoft, because that is the real problem: Microsoft does not respect you, the end-user of their product, and this kind of abusive shit will keep happening for as long as you keep using Windows.

they are telling you to get out of your abusive relationship with Microsoft

And how well has that worked so far?

For people like me who took that advice: pretty damn great actually, thanks for asking!

How many people have you managed to convert in this thread?

Me! Switched to fedora from Windows about 3 years ago and don’t regret it one bit. Probably the best decision I’ve made in regards to personal computing in my adult life.

If you switched 3 years ago, you haven’t been converted in this very thread.

Did Lemmy even exist 3 years ago? I thought the Lemmy migration was only last summer.
