Read again, I’m saying you assumed this conversation was about Linux because Linux people have nothing to talk about expect how they hate Windows
How did you fail to even read one sentence of my message? I quite literally explained why I assumed you were talking about Linux in the first sentence.

Why are you talking about Linux in the first place?
I assumed your last message was about Linux, since it’s not exactly hard to understand how Windows works. 30 years of technical debt with a new UI every now and then, so they can give a reason why they are reselling the same software over and over again, combined with the effort to squeeze every bit of possible profit out of their user base, e.g. through ads, selling data gathered from their user base and possibly even silently postponing fixes for gaping security holes, so e.g. Antivirus companies have a reason to exist.
You can’t possibly believe MS does all the bullshit they do with the user in mind? No user ever said “Please let the next overhyped Candy-Crush-esque game pop up in my start menu automatically” or “Please randomly enable this useless search bar during an update” or “Please give me this piece of software with full control over every digital step I take, but don’t you dare tell me what it does in detail.” And the best part is the users even pay to have this software on their machine.
having nothing to talk about except “DAE Windows bad”
You do realize the topic of this thread is “Windows bad” right? Maybe read the post again?

Right back at ya 😘

I agree, but what to do when people give up so easily on Linux when hitting their first bump. 🤷♂️

To call out MS for their constant bullshit is absolutely the right thing to do imo.
The post quite literally says “WHY THEY ****ING IGNORE IT???”. That’s not calling out MS for their bullshit. That’s asking why MS would do MS bullshit, to which the obvious answer is “because they’re MS”, hence my comment
You keep talking about choice even though there isn’t one for many people.
May I point out the part where I said, that if you’re forced to use Windows then maybe you should complain to the people who force you, not random people on the Internet, who are not responsible for your problems.
Your initial comment […] doesn’t help anyone.
Then it was right on topic. 🤷♂️
- Comment on Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission 1 year ago:
maybe they didn’t “choose” anything
They chose a computer with Windows preinstalled.
There are a lot of people who need to use Windows professionally, Linux is not always a viable alternative at all
You misunderstand. I’m not saying don’t use Windows. I’m saying don’t use Windows and then whine about it later. If you have a job that requires you to use Windows and you have a problem with using Windows, go complain to your manager, not some strangers on the Internet, they can’t help you.
People are allowed to prefer Windows for their own reasons and still complain about the shit MS pulls off without immediately being attacked for “installing malware”
People are allowed to prefer Windows no question, but somehow they’re always surprised that an operating system, that is generally known for performing actions from which MS profits, performs actions from which MS profits. And then they go cry on the Internet about it like it wasn’t the consequences of their own choices.

Well, congratulations, but “works on my machine” is not exactly the best argument when it comes to software.

Vegetarians? Are you sure you’re doing alright? This is a discussion about software, not beef and lettuce, buddy.
