      You sort of missed the point where Linux gives you freedom. Linux is built for users, windows is built for marketing, and it shows. It makes Linux nice for end users and it makes windows nice for the marketing department, sales and the share holders.

      Windows SUCKS in it’s daily use and even after all these years it’s still a Swiss cheese security wise. Yes, people would face issues with Linux too. Of course they will. But it will be a while different class of issues, not caused by a “fuck the user” attitude like Microsoft has it, but issues that will be solved because on Linux people actual care.

          I do.

          I help people with Linux wherever I can.

          I make companies use Linux. My own company uses Linux everywhere, it was built in from the start.

          What you’re saying is a chicken and egg problem. Companies would love to give support go Linux users but then they need Linux users…

              And all of that can be done with Linux.

              One large reason why this is still done so little is Microsoft marketing. Oh I’ll admit, Microsoft is kickass at marketing. As bad as their software sucked and keeps sucking, their marketing is awesome and well funded. Linux doesn’t have anything that compares but it’s own good name.

              Microsoft basically lies, cheats, pressures, whatever is needed so that people are locked into their software.

              Fuck. Everything. About Microsoft.

      No , you just gave up. Stop lying to yourself. You hide behind muh affordability because that’s the convenient excuse to use to not think about this.

      The status quo will benefit you for giving up entirely and disparaging those who advocate for freedom.

      “Teenage me” sounds like a mask off moment for you being a bitter out of touch person. You endorse the status quo and hide it under emotional rants of being more mature than the rest of us.

      I’m only commenting to this because I don’t want younger folks or to be caught up in your self hate spiral.

      Its GNU/Linux because clowns like you exist and won’t shut up. People deserve better, they don’t deserve someone like you frothing at the mouth at the fact that you don’t believe a better world is possible.

      You’re incredibly lucky that a majority of “Linux”/tech communities tolerate you.
