Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
Right. I spent the last several hours trying to get a mixed batch of Win10, Win11, and Win10-upgraded-from-8 computers to talk to a printer and had just about enough of this argument. If you want a pissing match of who can be the biggest dick, take it to Twitter.
Locked.
People don't want solutions, they want to removed endlessly and have a horde of strangers agree with them. Then they can also removed 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.
Yeah, "just use Linux" is equivalent to "I'm tired of hearing about windows shit" and a bit more polite than, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA".
Yeah, if you want me to hear your endless removed, you at least need to invite me for drinks (or potluck, if you don't drink) sometimes. Even then, I might just offer some advice every once in a while. A little bit of tough love is sometimes necessary.
I'm an American worker. removed is pretty much the only benefit we get.
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 removed. The correct answer will always be don't use the trojan OS.
I learned more in 3 years of using Linux than I did in 20 of using windows about how pcs work
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.
Sure, they're just venting, but I just wanna talk about Linux all day. I'll listen to their problems, treat them with respect and understanding, but you better believe I will also squeeze in a little special interest sauce on my side of the conversation sandwich.
It's not about the nail!
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.
"Install this bloated spyware in exchange for a little bit of convenience" is like 80% of modern tech and I don't know how people are just ok with that
Ok but have you tried linux?
Yeah ok, so use linux
I will keep pestering people who complain about Windows to install OpenSUSE instead.
I never used to tell people to install linux but I'm now convinced the correct response to windows complaints is to salt the wounds of windows users.
Everybody should be salting the wounds of microsoft users until microsoft stops enshittifying everything it can reach or buy.
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
