To be fair, Linux is a lot more suitable for technical stuff, without the bloat and telemetry of Windows.
Genius! This way you can enjoy a hamstrung sandboxed linux environment but have it run under windows with all its great features like forced updates, advertisements and telemetry along with any further "upgrades" coming in the future. How exciting! Truly gives you the best of both worlds.
It's really telling that the Linux people in this thread are so routinely incapable of detecting sarcasm.
You mean the part about cool linux applications that aren't on windows? I noticed the sarcasm and concluded it's either a joke or such a retarded strawman that it isn't worth responding to. Linux users don't even claim that linux has *better* compatibility with anything than windows. Some of the autists in this thread like to pretend they do, because such a claim would be easy to tear down, but no they really don't.
I honestly don't disagree with this. I don't think you need a dirth of knowledge to use it nowadays compared to when they released actual books that had commands for Linux and the like, but there is something of a learning curve when it comes to using Linux. It is not as obtuse or extreme as people make it seem, but it is present.
Trust me, if I could stay on Windows 7 or even 8/8.1 forever and not have to deal with security updates eventually stopping, I would in a heartbeat. But the telemetry bullshit is getting too fucking spooky for me. I kinda value my freedom unlike people that complain about globohomo bullshit, yet prostrate before it when it comes to their convenience.
B-b-but Linux is so difficult to use and I can't use a popular program that literally run in WINE if not just a basic virtual machine.
Just As Good™
Cool. Now come up with an actual answer for the rest of the points in my posts. Or are you just going to pretend it's fucking 2002 and Linix is just starting to get off the ground, despite Valve, a good deal of application distributors and most scientific research institutions having Linux support in the current year of 2023.
It’s really telling how defensive they get when they get mocked for not catching sarcasm.
"I was only
case in point, lmao
It's too bad you're not having this conversation in person or you could also watch these Linux users vehemently deny having face blindness to a passerby with a similar hair color.
I finally switched from Windows 7 to Windows 10 since new GPU drivers stopped being compatible so I could play the 3 games I can't run on Linux. I've been using Linux Mint with Cinnamon as my main OS, and it is significaintly more user friendly than the clusterfuck of Windows 10. It's on par with Windows 7 for me, which is almost perfect.
Imagine being mad about the operating system used by people you'll never meet.
Literally the pot calling the kettle black. How many of your posts in this thread have been about you projecting your eternal hatred of Linux and Linux users?
WinChads: "Man, Windows is going downhill."
I think you can get away with it but Apple gimps the experience slowly but surely until they cut support entirely, similar to iphones. 5 years is "old" for a Mac now.
You can but that doesn't tell anyone what is in the telemetry. I looked it up since posting that to see if anything has changed, Microsoft did allow at least some of the data collected to optionally be stored locally in 2018 and it was just detailed system data and what programs are used, though that's probably the baked-in telemetry basics, not the full package. Their other products come with telemetry as well, most of it probably benign but again "probably."
This is worse than posting tubgirl. Fuck you. Now that's all I can think about.
