only one proselytizing anything here is you, bud.
and you seem to be proselytizing for windows with how insistent you are to try to handwave and rugsweep the increases in performance and usability
Buddy get over yourself. Geez, it's so clear that people just love the mobthink around here regarding Linux.
Feel free to take a second look at any of the comments I made in this thread and tell me how many of them are regarding windows. Literally all of the other comments/commenters have been bringing up windows and 20 different things I never mentioned.
Also I'm pretty sure you don't know what that word you use twice mean so here's the definition.
I NEVER advocated for you or anyone to use windows over steamos. I just said the improvements weren't massive
Buddy. Look at your behavior in the thread. You have multiple posts getting super offended and pissy over a news article about large gains in linux over windows for that hand held device.
Only one that needs to get over themselves is you.
As far as I can tell, no one has accused you of promoting Windows over Linux, but please feel free to correct me if I missed something.
I think the flak that you have been receiving is based on your perceived attitude, whether or not that perception is accurate. Many, perhaps most people in this thread, myself included, think that 10%+ FPS improvements can be accurately described as "massive." You can absolutely disagree in a reasonable and good faith manner.
My understanding and perception of your responses is that you not only disagree that the outlined improvements can possibly be described as "massive," but also that anyone who claims otherwise is a blind Linux shill, doesn't understand the definition of the word "massive," and is suffering from mob mentality.
Countering the argument, and not the messenger (e.g Buddy get over yourself. Geez) is a much more effective way to express your point.
