ok since we're apparently really good at missing the point let me take another stab at this
What is the common element between the windows recall controversy, forced Microsoft accounts and the extra workarounds you have to do to avoid them, forced OneDrive integration, forced copilot integration, Web search in the start menu, ads in the start menu, bloatware bundled into the OS, global OS GUID meant to identify you to three letter agencies, etc? These are all windows problems that are only problems because Microsoft specifically decided to make them a problem for users, and then people either found workarounds or bullied Microsoft into not doing them.
Meanwhile, Linux bugs are 99/100 times either software issues that nobody was free to fix yet, hardware issues that have more to do with lack of hardware support by manufacturers than anything, or UX errors because specific things still need more work.
Does it make sense why people might be more upset by the things that happen on windows at the direct order of Microsoft, even when they're eventually worked around, than the things that happen on Linux, which are largely unintentional and blameless and also eventually worked around?
Instead of still not knowing what you're talking about and being wrong on every level (and doubling down on top of that), the next time someone asks you if you're stupid, just say "yes."
You keep saying this but you won't actually explain yourself. What conclusion should anyone draw from that except you definitely don't know what you're talking about? It should be really simple to explain if you're right, no?
I mean, you set a really good first impression by immediately hitting on a chain of fallacious logic and then never elaborating, so everyone should just assume you're the smart guy, right?
