    The other type I see is people who complain that Linux isn’t usable, and it gradually turns out that the only thing they’d consider usable is an OS exactly like Windows.

      Because unfortunately nobody has made a better UI for an OS than windows, including the distributions that don’t copy windows.

        I use Windows for work and I can easily say that KDE, Gnome, Xfce, Mate, all are better UI than Windows. The Windows start menu has become such utter BS it’s crazy. Even MacOS is better at this point. What are you smoking lol

      I had a friend venting to me about Windows. They said “I want Windows without Microsoft!” And I was like “Yeah. That doesn’t exist.”

      Linux has a different use philosophy and workflow, once you udnerstand that you realize it’s not a big deal.

      Windows is basically stockholm syndrome. It’s just so shit but people memory hole all the troubleshooting, searching 20 control panels and then still going to regedit, opening terminal to start regedit or dxdiag. I guess nothing says “hardcore gamer os” more than pressing windows key and typing program name only for windows to launch a bloatware browser you are not allowed to uninstall that then goes into an search engine nobody wants to use and gives you a result that is an ad all the while your screen is recorded and all that is sold to whoever wants to buy it.
