Astonishing it's not satire

You're right that most people don't use the RE. That was a bad example I guess.

The point of my question is this though: as pointed out in the original post, maintaining windows is no easy lift. To the point that your average user knows and hates the constant windows update process, and needs an "IT guy" in their life to help them overcome the hurdles which will arise. The idea that windows just works is a fallacy. Also same with Mac (or linux), but honestly? To a large degree linux can be that way for most users most of the time. Probably even more so than macs as long as it's a good setup to begin with (the right distro, the software installed the user needs). Most people just need a browser. And it's not without challenges just to keep even that running on windows. I'm aware of zero linux distros which force updates and even if you seek them out and install them, they aren't very disruptive 99% of the time.

Gos what's fucked up is that they almost certainly will use a version of that

Shocking to see a person always defending windows and hating Linux saying this. Shocking!

And they won't know it until they personally suffer (worse than just inflation) tangibly. Probably will somehow be Democrats fault even then

I'm sure his supporters have pivoted quickly to saying all these reversals are actually good. Because people in cults do that.

Victim blaming is always a totally defensible and cool thing to do

I think he believes it will work for him. Which is the only concept that has ever mattered to him.

I mean Biden was personally killing Palestinians so let's all make sure Trump does worse too so checkmate lIbRuL. Ps I'm morally superior because I think my self righteous social media posts matter way more than the outcome I cause with my actions. And if you disagree? Well, you love genocide! /s

The best example of fighting the good fight as far as OSes. Good on you. Linux these days is for sure way better than commercial oses in most ways. Windows is more supported and macos is more obsessively polished on the surface. Otherwise they got nothing going for them

True but have you tried windows? The registry editor is just one example of the top tier bullshit that the windows apologists will gloss over. To them it's normal to have to open what I'm sure started as a tool Microsoft only saw themselves using just to fix basic problems that shouldn't have occurred in the first place

Exactly! For the majority of people it is easier yet many people will fight you to the death that the opposite is true
