I have literally never encountered a Windows Bro who says how awesome Windows is and how you should totally use it and it's the best option and anything else is trash.

That's probably true, but that's not really a selling point.

"This is better because literally nobody likes it. Nobody recommends it. It's great to use something people barely tolerate because they don't know better"

Why do you think nobody likes Windows? I think you have been living in the Linux bubble for too long.

Nobody recommends Windows because it is the bloody default. It is like recommending to live on Earth.

I do not recommend living on earth. Have you seen this shit?

Jokes aside, people don't like windows, they just use it as the default. Like the old people who has an iPhone or an android and they see it as the "norm" and don't like the change. That's why (aside from enshitification) people tend to dislike the windows updates.

That's why not a lot of people that uses Mac or Linux for a long time permanently switch to windows. From windows to Linux or Mac is more likely to stick.

Cool. I'm not here selling windows though. I'm just saying why I'll never use Linux. Weird that none of you can tell the difference.

Haven't said you're selling it. I even said nobody is. Weird you didn't understand.
