Windows 11 has given me no issues whatsoever. I’m not apologizing for having a great experience.
I use Linux because I’m lazy. I don’t have the time or energy to play whackamole with Windows settings.
Considering making the switch to a dual boot Fedora KDE/Windows 10 solution on my Surface Pro 6.
Any Linux nerds have any advice for that?
I’m a firm believer in every man is entitled to his own personal hell. And if Windows 11 is your choice, then go with my blessing.
Just don’t expect me to help put out the flames.
hi Microsoft employee! 👋
It’s hilarious that you people can’t even conceive of someone actually enjoying Win11. Like some kind of mental block for you or something.
I can’t conceive of people wanting to glue fake plastic eyelashes on their eyelids and not think it makes them look like a circus clown.
Yet people do that all the time.
People are generally pretty stupid.
People with trash taste generally don’t like being told their taste is trash. But if you like using garbage, by all means, feel free to keep having a subpar experience. And I’m not even a Linux evangelist, I just support windows systems for a living.
Win11 is a trash OS made to spy on you, make your data easier for criminals to steal, and serve you ads. If that’s your thing, keep using it and enjoy I guess. I’d rather stay on actually good versions of windows, but security patches are important.
Different strokes for different folks - windows 11 does have it’s uses.
Ever since our office laptops “upgraded” they’ve made excellent space heaters during the winter. Open up Teams, a PowerPoint, and a YouTube video and you’ve got a nice toasty office!
I believe everyone has the right to choose whatever works for them. Linux does require you to work through issues at times. I do think people should be aware of Microsoft aiding in the genocide of Palestinians, however.
I’ve literally never been asked to use Linux, what are you on about
Honestly, I just wait until they ask me how to do something with copilot. I can talk to them for 10 minutes about all the different AI I can use, even openai before explaining that I don’t have to reconfigure office, SharePoint, or M365 to use something else, then I use the L word, and that is why Windows 11 or 12 upgrades disrupt nothing for me. No I didn’t have to buy new devices, no my phone works fine with what I have, yes, I can edit that type of file. No, I am not a hacker. Macs are fine, I just haven’t needed Apple to get a small fast laptop.
I’m probably the minority here, but I don’t really want mainstream folk as Linux user. You people already ruined the internet!
I feel the same way. I like it the way it is.
Nah, The more you learn about mormonism the more you realize how stupid it is.
It’s more like vegans, the more you learn about it the more you realize they’re right but you don’t switch out of convenience and familiarity. The preachiness and eir of superiority is annoying though.
As a vegan on Win 8 i agree
Jesus christ that’s a cursed combination
Yeah, you should switch to Windows but ethical instead, so ReactOS
Don’t think it’ll stop if you do switch to Linux.
After that they’ll just try to get you to switch distributions, because the grass is always greener at Arch.
Yeah, and even if you’re using Arch BTW, you’re not using it correctly! Why would you install a fully featured DE? Don’t you know how many dependencies that introduces to your custom built super slick OS? Come on, just use I3! Writing basic functionallity like a shutdown menu yourself isn’t that bad!

Don’t feed the trolls
“If you don’t like Linux you’re just a troll” is the EXACT energy OP is talking about. Y’all are insufferable. Linus Torvalds is incredibly well known for being a dick because “what I think is right is most important” and that toxic attitude is what keeps most people from giving Linux a second look.
But totally, people hating on Linux are just trolls. Let me guess, you use Arch? You’re always the most obnoxious.
No, you braindead shitwit, people named “Evil EdgeLord” who post baiting memes are trolls. Now get off your fucking high horse, you wad of half-chewed horse semen.
You absolutely are trolls and I use Debian btw
Psh. In my experience, Linux users don’t beg people to change their OS. They just make fun of you and act like they’re somehow superior to you for the OS you use.
…and brag about how it took them 2 weeks to get their printer and scanner working.
Only two weeks? I fought with my printer on Windows for years before I finally just said fuck it and decided to pay FedEx to print anything I need. Literally the worst bit of tech to ever have existed, in any time, in any universe. And now your ink cartridges need monthly subscriptions or you can’t use them?
I wouldn’t feel bad if somebody dropped nukes on HP headquarters.
You don’t have to use Linux, you can use BSD too
Let’s be honest, the only begging from any group to join them is from the people using BSD.
Use whatever Os works for you, no-one should be forced to change what they use.
That’s the thing, many people don’t know there is anything else and don’t realize “their” machines have slowly slid out of order to the point of not “working” anymore.
When I don’t tell someone I know that using a computer does not have to be painful, it feels like an act of cruelty. That only applies to people I know IRL, I feel like most of Lemmy at least knows about Linux. In any case, if anything I’d say the tendency to mention Linux comes from a genuine intention of helpingSure, if you’re in a space where people aren’t technologically proficient that’s fair. But this behavior is most prevalent here on lemmy, and i seriously doubt anyone who has managed to find their way to this platform doesn’t know that linux exists. It just becomes real insufferable real fast.
