  That’s not true. Linux users do this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than Microslop users. Microslop has billions of users, but fewer than 20 fanboys, worldwide.

    Used and supported Windows for over 30 years at this point. I’ve NEVER been a fan, and started looking into Linux back in '99. It wasn’t ready back then, but two decades later and it seems like Linux does everything except anti-cheat, which I have no use for, better than Windows ever did.

      … I worked for Microsoft.

      … during the time the rolled out Win8, by dogfooding it through every employee and contractor.

      I don’t know anyone that hates Microsoft and Windows more than I do.

        '98 was a marginal improvement over '95 at least

      The lesson to the top image people is, don’t tell the bottom image people you feel bad for them, just be glad you’re not them.

  That’s okay because unlike Windows, Linux isn’t guilty of market capture, adware, spyware, bloat, and any number of other things that are wrong with windows.

  It happens when MS does something that annoys their userbase. Then Linux nerds jump in and tell how much Linux is better.

  We don’t really do the same thing, because Microsoft is forced upon us every step of the way.

• Bonje@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Yes. Because we want native support from apps. Windows has the market share to not care. Linux is getting there but is nowhere near to even macOS.

  I have never gone to look for a windows community, is there one?

    No, it was embraced, extended and extinguished.

    Good luck with that.
