  • Why are you talking about Linux in the first place?

    I assumed your last message was about Linux, since it’s not exactly hard to understand how Windows works. 30 years of technical debt with a new UI every now and then, so they can give a reason why they are reselling the same software over and over again, combined with the effort to squeeze every bit of possible profit out of their user base, e.g. through ads, selling data gathered from their user base and possibly even silently postponing fixes for gaping security holes, so e.g. Antivirus companies have a reason to exist.

    You can’t possibly believe MS does all the bullshit they do with the user in mind? No user ever said “Please let the next overhyped Candy-Crush-esque game pop up in my start menu automatically” or “Please randomly enable this useless search bar during an update” or “Please give me this piece of software with full control over every digital step I take, but don’t you dare tell me what it does in detail.” And the best part is the users even pay to have this software on their machine.

    having nothing to talk about except “DAE Windows bad”

    You do realize the topic of this thread is “Windows bad” right? Maybe read the post again?





  • maybe they didn’t “choose” anything

    They chose a computer with Windows preinstalled.

    There are a lot of people who need to use Windows professionally, Linux is not always a viable alternative at all

    You misunderstand. I’m not saying don’t use Windows. I’m saying don’t use Windows and then whine about it later. If you have a job that requires you to use Windows and you have a problem with using Windows, go complain to your manager, not some strangers on the Internet, they can’t help you.

    People are allowed to prefer Windows for their own reasons and still complain about the shit MS pulls off without immediately being attacked for “installing malware”

    People are allowed to prefer Windows no question, but somehow they’re always surprised that an operating system, that is generally known for performing actions from which MS profits, performs actions from which MS profits. And then they go cry on the Internet about it like dealing with this wasn’t the consequence of their own actions. And then they’re surprised they get ridiculed for being ridiculous.
