Switch to Linux!

When people tell you to use Linux, they’re not telling you that to solve your immediate problem (e.g. your “show desktop” icon has been replaced with a different icon), but they are telling you to get out of your abusive relationship with Microsoft, because that is the real problem: Microsoft does not respect you, the end-user of their product, and this kind of abusive shit will keep happening for as long as you keep using Windows.
Who asked you for help with our relationship? I believe someone complained about a random feature change. And here you are. Telling everyone to just fuck off and switch completely. It’s insane.
JFC people like you … You have like the worst case of Stockholm syndrome I’ve ever seen. I swear the only reason you are getting so angry and defensive when people recommend Linux is because deep down you know they’re speaking the truth.
No. It’s annoying being told the only solution is to throw everything out the window and start over. No stockholm syndrome I run a Ubuntu server and ran arch when I was 14. Fuck off with your stupid takes and offer a real solution to the problem.
Yeah, real mature take you have there buddy.
“My husband always beats me when he is drunk. Don’t tell me to leave him, just tell me how I get him to stop beating me”
^ This is you basically.
No. That is your perspective to a situation. That is not fact. Stop valueing your own voice so highly. You start to forget you can be wrong.
Listen, if you don’t like what I have to say, don’t read my comments, block me or stop replying or something, but I’m not going to shut myself up to please some random twerp like you.
Listen I’m all for Linux and use it myself, but this is not the way to get people to switch. Even I’m starting to get annoyed by all the answers in these threads being “Just switch to Linux, there are definitely no problems and it’s a 1:1 workflow.” (Yes, hyperbole. But you get the idea.) If a user has an issue and does not want, or cannot, switch to Linux, then Linux is not the solution.
You’re not wrong. They’re still stuck in the “abusive relationship” with MS. In fact you’re absolutely right. But trying to push Linux onto these people like this only results in their view of Linux getting worse, and makes them more likely to stay on Windows to avoid the insufferable Linux users. It’s coming from a good place, but it’s honestly not helping. Every solution needs to consider the user’s use case and their parameters, or else it doesn’t matter. In the end what you’re saying is not wrong at all, but you’re still not offering the right solution.
Exactly. The only abusive relationship is their view towards users who will not accept their solution as gospel.
And how well has that worked so far?
For people like me who took that advice: pretty damn great actually, thanks for asking!
How many people have you managed to convert in this thread?
Even if it’s only one, I will have helped one person, unlike you who has only been bitching and moaning.
If that’s what you think will improve how the Linux community is perceived, then do go on.
