People don’t want solutions, they want to bitch endlessly and have a horde of strangers agree with them. Then they can also bitch about nothing improving!

People in my life get the benefit of “are you looking for solutions or are you looking for empathy?” Randos on the Internet don’t get to use everyone else as free therapists.

People trying to shame us encouraging people switching to a OS that respects our privacy from the shit show Microsoft has become makes me roll my eyes every single time.

We pass so much of our time in front of a screen. Why not do it while retaining our freedom as much as we can? Sure, if you must use it for work, it is what it is, but Linux is definitely something worth learning using no matter what your technical level is.

If you can navigate through Windows with some degree of confidence, you absolutely can use Linux effectively. You can go full GUI no problem if you want to.

Linux is so easy nowaday. Yeah, some niche things might require some digging around, but that’s nothing compared to the bullshit you have to accept from Microsoft.

If it’s not for work, I’m sorry but use Linux or stop bitching. The correct answer will always be don’t use the trojan OS.

Same mood when people complain about corpo media

I feel for them, but they should know they are making a choice by staying

If you’re complaining about windows on linuxmemes, I’m not sure it’s rational to expect no one to mention linux.

ITT: people who have never had to learn that sometimes when someone complains to you they are not solution oriented, and it genuinely just feels good to share something wry/ridiculous to bond over.

It’s a good skill to pick up, folks. Definitely comes into play in relationships.

The inverse of this should also be true. Just because my game occasionally takes a minute to get set up as I try one or two different versions of proton doesn’t mean I want to be told to switch to windows so I can get my data mined further.

Ok but have you tried linux?

Yeah ok, so use linux

I tried switching to Linux twice and both times I got hit with problems I was unable to fix even with help. So, even though I hate Microsoft, I’ll stick with Windows for now.

I will keep pestering people who complain about Windows to install OpenSUSE instead.

Ah yes, get everyone’s attention by complaining but punish those who try to help. If you wanna complain and not get a solution, do it offline.

You are not adding anything.

The desktop share statistics say otherwise

I’m looking at the issues that I face with Linux, which mostly are related to companies not willing to make drivers, nor allowing other people to make open source drivers…

Then I look over my shoulder and see people working on windows, and I just know that my problems are nothing

use linux… please
