    I’m going to be honest here. If someone asks you for Windows help and you comment to tell them to use Linux, you’re an asshole, not clever.

      I would say that depends on why they are asking for help, you have got to get to the root of the issue first.

      Some people can’t see the problem because of the trees.

      If your problem is not with windows, but windows at it’s core… Then the solution is to move. You also have Mac if that makes you happy

        The problem is that Linux just isn’t usable for the largest home computing demographic.

        Linux users can’t even agree on anything significant to make progress on the distros because they’d rather abandon it and try again in a new setting. It feels like a modpack of the month, year, etc, at this point. Unstable, filled with crashes and bugs, even fedora. Incomplete documentation with half defined terms and uses due to the constant splintering. It makes it worse to learn than whatever the fuck is Microsoft’s shit documentation.

        I guess you too only see the trees. A solution is not to leave the forest but to bend the trees to your will. Wherever the forest is, instead of cowering before it. A shoddy tradesman blames his tools and all that.

      If every year people ask for help because they’ve been weakened by a COVID infection, yet they refuse free vaccinations, then they are the assholes.

      Stop defending tax-evading unethical monopolies who don’t give a crap about their users, only their profits. And stop defending lackadaisical people who have the potential to literally change the world by being part of a snowball that could eventually avalanche Microsoft’s monopoly away. Instigating change here could be so easy. For goodness’ sake we’re talking about a change of software, not sacrificing one’s life by taking a bullet or shooting one. Stand up for what you believe in. To hell with Windows. To hell with Microsoft.

      “There’s no elephant in this room.”

      Windows is the problem. There’s the elephant. Your choice.

      If not, I guess just keep waiting it out. I’m sure it will get better any day now.

        I’m not the one seeking help here, just calling out poor behavior. You’re helping no one with this constantly being posted.
