At some point I’d think you would have left windows behind for most daily tasks. I left around 20 years ago and haven’t had a problem at all.

Yeah, okay, so this was all just a "Omg just use Linux" type post.

Not everyone can conveniently just ditch a major OS for something with less support. Like I said before, there is a reason everyone isn't just jumping ship for Linux. People have plenty of legitimate reasons for it from work, to time commitment, to driver support, required software that doesn't support it, etc.

Good for you that you can switch and deal. Not everyone can. I'm not sure why so many Linux proponents are entirely fucking blind literally every possible reason that might keep someone off Linux and have to come fucking flying in on crusades on some fucking high horse of "Oooh, what peasants, of course everyone should just be switching to Linux!"

Fuck off with your condescending bullshit.

Same problems, different name, and some new problems thrown in on top. Moving along.
