    Linux users always so desperate to get windows users to switch over.

    Until the user experience is not “spend hours on forums to find hacky fixes for things that just work on windows” its gonna be a tough sell.

      I switched over to Linux about a year ago and personally do not care if you do. But I do agree that some seemingly simple stuff on Linux can be fucking annoying. And that would be fine if you could post on forums without at the very least one douche nozzle implying that you are an idiot.

        Yeah, my big issue is the most common suggestion anytime i have an issue is to switch distros instead of an actual solution.

      Why I personally can’t go back to Windows.

        I was going to say… being a semi-power-user of Windows, I have to find a LOT of very jank solutions to obscure problems.

      I understand that the threads about the dumb shit microsoft is doing (ads, ai, etc.) are primarily just for venting frustrations; however, I just want to help. People complain about a problem, I know a good solution. Obviously I’m going to tell people about it but in the end it doesn’t really matter to me if you switch or not.
