Windows 11 has given me no issues whatsoever. I'm not apologizing for having a great experience.
At this point, it's not even a matter of practicality, it's one of morality IMO. You shouldn't be giving spyware control over your machine and making the world just that much more controlled by billionaires. Most people don't even think about it, which makes it a gray area, but you? You've considered this issue at length, apparently. That's a stupid and awful thing for someone who's given thought to which OS they should use to do.
I use Linux because I'm lazy. I don't have the time or energy to play whackamole with Windows settings.
Different strokes for different folks - windows 11 does have it's uses.
Ever since our office laptops "upgraded" they've made excellent space heaters during the winter. Open up Teams, a PowerPoint, and a YouTube video and you've got a nice toasty office!
hi Microsoft employee! 👋
It's hilarious that you people can't even conceive of someone actually enjoying Win11. Like some kind of mental block for you or something.
People with trash taste generally don't like being told their taste is trash. But if you like using garbage, by all means, feel free to keep having a subpar experience. And I'm not even a Linux evangelist, I just support windows systems for a living.
Win11 is a trash OS made to spy on you, make your data easier for criminals to steal, and serve you ads. If that's your thing, keep using it and enjoy I guess. I'd rather stay on actually good versions of windows, but security patches are important.
I can't conceive of people wanting to glue fake plastic eyelashes on their eyelids and not think it makes them look like a circus clown.
Yet people do that all the time.
People are generally pretty stupid.
I believe everyone has the right to choose whatever works for them. Linux does require you to work through issues at times. I do think people should be aware of Microsoft aiding in the genocide of Palestinians, however.
I'm a firm believer in every man is entitled to his own personal hell. And if Windows 11 is your choice, then go with my blessing.
Just don't expect me to help put out the flames.
Nah, The more you learn about mormonism the more you realize how stupid it is.
It's more like vegans, the more you learn about it the more you realize they're right but you don't switch out of convenience and familiarity. The preachiness and eir of superiority is annoying though.
As a vegan on Win 8 i agree
Are you just trying to live the worst life possible while technically doing nothing wrong?
Jesus christ that's a cursed combination
I'm probably the minority here, but I don't really want mainstream folk as Linux user. You people already ruined the internet!
I feel the same way. I like it the way it is.
Don't think it'll stop if you do switch to Linux.
After that they'll just try to get you to switch distributions, because the grass is always greener at Arch.
Username checks out
Don't feed the trolls
Considering making the switch to a dual boot Fedora KDE/Windows 10 solution on my Surface Pro 6.
Any Linux nerds have any advice for that?
Psh. In my experience, Linux users don’t beg people to change their OS. They just make fun of you and act like they’re somehow superior to you for the OS you use.
..and brag about how it took them 2 weeks to get their printer and scanner working.
Have fun with your surveillance capitalism
Instead of being condescending, you might help people solve the problems that keep them from switching. Or just stay quiet. Whatever you prefer. This elitist attitude is one of the reasons why some people won't even try Linux because they fear they will be ridiculed as soon as they need to ask for help.
The op is calling Linux users worst than Mormons but "enjoy your spyware" is elitist? This isn't someone asking for help, it's a shitpost.
Have you heard the good word? Linus is our Lord and Savior. I use arch BTW.
You don't have to use Linux, you can use BSD too
It’s superior in every way except for the programs you actually use don’t work on it!
These people begging to fix your computer for you... Are they in the room with us right now?
Are you blind? Yes, they are all over the place.
I swapped to linux a while back. The compatibility just isnt there yet unfortunately. Theres too many annoying roadblocks
I only recently decided to switch. The biggest reason for me was setting up Windows 11 on other people's laptops and seeing just how hard Microsoft pushes you to make an account, as well as the occasional ads I've seen. So with Windows 10's end of life, I decided I don't want to put up with that BS anymore. I still have Win10 as a back up if I need it for anything.
Then you obviously know nothing about Mormons.
The church covers up sexual abuse on a routine basis.
Mormonism is inherently homophobic, transphobic, racist, misogynistic, and emotionally abusive.
I get that you're probably just focusing on the aspect of their proselytizing but their end goal is nefarious and oppressive.
but their end goal is nefarious and oppressive.
Ironic that Linux is closer on proselytizing, but windows is the one with the nefarious and oppressive objectives.
