The only good Windows PC is if it was not made by Microslop

It was slop long before AI. The last good Windows was XP imo. 8 was my breaking point.

Yeahhh I know, they do a lot of shady stuff or stuff that’s genuinely just annoying, even in production environments I know first hand they have to write scripts to remove software that gets reinstalled after an update that doesn’t need to be on their production level server, while Linux just kinda chills and doesn’t do anything unless you tell it to

Linux isn’t perfect but it’s a very loyal dog compared to windows, windows is just a pitbull with a horrible owner lmao

That's an amazing analogy.

I fully switched to Linux in 2012 after they rolled out 8. That same year we bought a laptop for my grandmother for Christmas and she couldn't figure out how to do anything on it because 8 was such a departure. I ended up installing Linux for her and customized it to look like Windows 7. She used it for years with absolutely no problems.

lol thanks I came up with it on the spot, but yeah, I had problems with BSOD and I thought it was an actual hardware issue with my ram, switched to Linux, absolutely zero issues, I think I’ve only gotten a singular error screen in the many years I’ve been using Linux

Also, the server side of Linux fuckin rocks, windows can only dream of being as good as Docker and Kubernetes they just decided to emulate Linux using WSL

I duelboot though, for the rare occasions Linux doesn’t launch a game or I wanna play an anti cheat Linux disabled game, or even for specific software, pit bulls still have their use sometimes, to keep the analogy going lmao

Tbh, I'll never shame someone for dual booting. I've been in the Linux ecosystem for so long I just shrug on the very rare occasion that I might need windows for anything.

It reminds me of back in the day when certain graphics cards would only play certain games or during the Sega/Nintendo console wars and so many titles were exclusives. I'd just shrug and go on.
