Windows is getting worse, while gaming on Linux is getting better. I’m gonna move my desktop to CachyOS. Wish me luck.

Sorry, English is not my native language.

Don't apologise to the grammar police, they are more afraid of you then you are from them.

...yes I'm AFRAID of unclear communication.

It's not about unclear communication. You know exactly what they meant.

Yes if I can figure it out with extra effort then I'm evil for saying anything

If you genuinely didn’t understand, there are nicer ways to ask for clarification than “wat”.

No one said I couldn't understand. If it were up to people like you, we'd not even have standard spelling because you pretend that the ability to eventually understand something is all that matters.

...Alright then.

If you genuinely had difficulty understanding, there are nicer ways to ask for clarification than “wat”.

How are you not getting this? For a moment I was trying to understand what they took the sides off of. Because they wrote "desided". I then figured it out via context but it was confusing where they even got that spelling from, especially given that spell check is a basic feature on every device.

I have absolutely no idea why you think I am claiming it was incomprehensible or that I owe randos online some arbitrary amount of being polite that you define. "Wat" has been a meme for, what, 15 years? And many would've taken it as playful, which it was. Get off my back, jfc
