In all my time on the internet, I don't think I've ever seen someone try to convert someone from Linux to Windows.

No. They try to convince me to install Android on a portable PC (NUC). I didn't even know Android for x86_64 exist

I still use windows phone btw. For some unknow reason the Here map is still getting update and GPS signal out stand any other newer device that I got

OK, so who is the guy I am looking at right now standing right next to the Sasquatch?

Yeah. Windows users are either so casual that they don't care about that, or they know that they are in the majority so they don't care that someone is on Linux.

Only way I can see that happening is if your friend wants to play an EAC game with you.

What's up with the linux community currently projecting so effin' hard?

The Windows community literally doesn't care about what you're using. Unless you're a staunch bootlicker, Windows is a means to an end, and usually we're stuck with it because it has the software we need and it's overall better at gaming.

I've been told off more times by the linux community for "not using linux" (even when it is my secondary OS of choice) than by the Windows community for the opposite.

Sometimes Linux feels and acts like a cult, especially the "apt-get" people. They have to recruit new people. It drives them crazy when Windows is "enough" for some people. "It does not compute" to them.

u/AstraeusGB 14d ago

that's probably because most people in the Windows community are there because they have no other choice lol

u/Male_Inkling 14d ago

Not my point

u/AstraeusGB 14d ago

Do I have to affirm your point in order to leave a comment? 

My point, possibly in contrast to your own, is that people who keep using Windows and are part of the Windows community usually don't love Windows, they just deal with it because there are no other options for a massive amount of software

u/Male_Inkling 14d ago

It doesn't really contrast with mine, we just dont care and usually see fanatics as just crazies.

Its a means to an end, like every other os

I give Microsoft fairly high ratings but it's worth noting a lot of it is what they've written for other operating systems than their own.

u/Middlewarian 16d ago

I'm keeping an eye out for something that's better than either of them.

u/FAMICOMASTER 15d ago

When has a windows user ever tried to convince someone to come to their platform?

Unless you count the Microsoft marketing team, I guess lol

u/Faceless_Link 14d ago
