    So “the year of the Linux desktop” is just around the corner? Again?

    … and all it took was to wait for windows to become unbearably shitty?

      Even if Windows became so shitty, people would rather move to MacOS than they would to Linux.

      Linux will never become popular till it’s as easy to use as something like VLC. Download, install, and it runs everything. Until this happens, Linux will never take over no matter how unbearably shitty Windows becomes.

      It was always going to. People are fundamentally lazy. Until something becomes a need, far too many are going to sit around and whine instead.

          I’m not shitting on “people moving to linux”. I’m shitting on people in general, and you know I’m right, so get out of here with this accusatory misreading trash.

              lol genuinely that’s what 80% of the disagreement replies are like on here/reddit. Obstinate children and trolls everywhere.

              Literally just had a conversation even worse than this about the meaning of ‘sect’. They thought it could only mean religous sects. As if people don’t usually say, “religous sect” to specify which type.

              Then they proceeded to pretend like I was still in the wrong when it was their lack of understanding of a basic word that made them think I said something I didn’t.

              Sadly, I’m starting to believe in that average reading level being so low…

          The primary reason I do not want to move to Linux is because I do not want my home PC to contain homework problems for basic usage. People can say it’s gotten better all they want but not by enough. I have to google constant shit to figure out the basics. But the secondary reason is that Linux fanboys are typically unbearable. It’s just hatred and bickering. Either they’re bitching at Windows or they’re bitching about another Distro or bitching about something else. I don’t want to deal with this shit everytime something goes wrong in Linux and I have to go figuring out what happened. If I use Windows the only shit I’ll get are from Linux bros whining. Anyone else using Windows will just shrug. Linux bros feel way too culty for me to ever engage in the operating system.

        It is true, and it’s how I got pushed toward Linux after W10 update turned my wife’s laptop into an unusable OS, and my work update made our CAD software noticably slower. Linux on both machines brought life back to them.
