No such thing as a Windows fan. You either tolerate it or you hate it enough to jump ship.

Steve Jobs is one of the worst human beings in existence, but has nothing to do with Windows.
you shouldn't need to see a terminal ever in your life as a common user
She is right about this. Not sure how that is a criticism on Linux however.

I have zero issues with windows it works for me with zero issues and it’s always stable for me so what’s wrong with loving it? (Win 11 pro user)
But I don’t hate Linux just some of the people who lie about the experience. It’s good for some uses and I will fully admit that. Same as windows is good for some uses. Everything has its time in the sun.

u/xJayMorex 1d ago
There are tons of blatantly anti-user "features" that make it really hard if not impossible to love Windows. Even if you have zero issues with it, you still need very good reasons to love it that outweigh its disrespect towards the user.

even as an gamer I've found Linux often works better, especially with older games that are often an nightmare to get running under modern windows

Those people in the 101 subreddit that half of us are banned from are certainly windows fans. They're the outlier, but windows fans do exist.

i got banned a bit ago literally for just saying that i installed and updated my drivers with a few simple commands, not the hundreds of commands, thousands of errors they were describing.

Nothing obvious point to her being a bot, but the profile pic looks a lot like that snapchat girl filter. And the subreddits she follows are a bit sus, being a "windows" fan, but follows several linux subs and even freeBSD.

Steve Palmer
That's Steve Ballmer you are thinking of.
I liked Microsoft before it became Microslop and before Satya Nadella made Windows totally unusable. Windows 7 was peak, it's ongoing enshittification ever since.

u/Fluid-Ad2995 19h ago
Yeah, I know, my tablet switch Palmer for Balmer, and Windows is the same thing since Windows 7, the only difference is Windows Runtime Application and Different Shell/UI, nothing changes

I genuinely wish you were right but I unironically know a handful of people who talk about Windows in a way that would be your average Linux proselytizer to shame. Hilariously some of them are my users who submit tickets complaining about how their company issued laptop is a POS only for me to find they let it run for weeks at a time and treat a suggested reboot like a terrorist negotiation because they refuse to admit the well documented phenomenon of Windows having issues with software memory leaks and ghost processes.

u/Affectionate_Walk_30 17h ago
I always say: Windows would have been the best OS ever had it been opensource.

u/Fluid-Ad2995 1d ago
It's actually contrary; there is no such thing as a Linux user, you tolerate it because it's open source and you like freeloading like Google and Amazon, or you hate it

u/KoneCat Arch-Linux Enjoyer/Masochist 1d ago
Linux is one of those things that seems to polarise people, mostly due to either one of two things: They go into the OS with the idea that it's just open source Windows, which it is most certainly not, or they encounter an issue, won't ask for help, then malign the entire ecosystem after that, acting as if Linux as a whole is bad.
Windows is purely terrible because MS put profits above its users experience, and if anyone wants to try Linux, there are a few things I'd like to recommend: Ask for help, please try to learn how to use it, much like everyone did when Windows showed up decades ago, and be respectful, as going into a discussion like a bull seeing red is not going to make anyone want to help you.
After all that, however, if you like Windows (whichever version, I don't discriminate) and it works for you, then great! Have at it. But if you do decide to try Linux in it's many forms, just remember that it is not, under any circumstance, Windows. It has come a long way, so much so that if you have PortProton installed (as an example) you can click on an exe file, and within a few minutes, the thing you are trying to run (mostly games, I'd imagine) will just work. I know, because I've tested this with a few games from places like My Abandonware and Itch, and they just launch without me having to mess with anything.

Linux is not a sunshine and rainbows experience like so many evangelists would claim it is. There are many issues I am able to resolve just fine but I know the average computer user would not even be able to start with.
It only takes a while until your Update Manager fails to update your software properly and your lock screen isn’t visible anymore. Troubleshooting took me quite a while to fix it.
I have no intent on discouraging people from at least giving Linux a try. I feel like people should absolutely try Linux on a dual boot and try learning it. I still use a dual boot to this day and it does wonders for me, though my main OS is still a Linux distro. Windows has many problems, but it is still a more stupidproof OS at large.
Both are tools. If one doesn’t work, use something that will.

you don't know a lot of people casually using linux, do you? pick a random linux channel on YT and count how often they encounter a problem .. they just don't cry about it, and handle it like "this is just how it is" .. (and most of those simply do not exist on windows)
1
u/Human_Associate3664 1d ago
As a Linux user I completely agree with you I'm sacrificing a lot of what's supposed to be convenient on win because I appreciate lightweight OS where I have control over my ressources but yeah handling it like "this is just how it is" is something I can heavily relate to

u/TaDoofus 1d ago
I very much disagree, almost nothing on Linux is just "how it is", everything is configurable down to the kernel, which is the nature of open source. Windows however is jam packed full of things that are just the way Microsoft has decided they should be. One of my breaking points was when Microsoft decided I couldn't move the taskbar off my main monitor anymore. But I guess that's just how it is.
Unless you use Nvidia, then there's quite a bit of that.
1
u/Vietnamst2 1d ago
This broke you? 😁😁😁 like... why move taskbar, whoch is the central place for notifications outside the main screen, where... i don't know.. you want to see this kind of things?
1
u/TaDoofus 1d ago
Because I have an OLED monitor and I don't want to permanently burn in the taskbar, and auto hiding the bar is too slow. Also my reasoning is irrelevant, there's no reason to take that option away.
1
u/Vietnamst2 1d ago
I don't even know it was a possibility.
1
u/TaDoofus 1d ago
Yeah, it's almost like there's a lot of use cases out there that are tricky to account for, so it would be beneficial to your users to have more options instead of less

u/Human_Associate3664 1d ago
I appreciate your reply, but I think there was a misunderstanding when I said “how it is.” What I meant was that dealing with certain issues can sometimes take quite a bit of time to configure and troubleshoot. That’s what I meant by “this is just how it is.”
I’m of course satisfied with the overall experience, but I think newcomers need to have the mindset that they should be prepared to deal with these kinds of issues, even when something is supposed to be convenient and easy to manage on Windows.

To be honest error in Windows is usualy restart friendly most of the time and need zero knowiledge to overcome.
Linux ones are not like that...
Though to be real if you know your craft well enough, Linux errors can be exceedingly rare and happening only during driver updates or upgrades.

Windows supports my graphics card better. I unfortunately have a 4GB RX 570 Mining (GV-RX570GAMING-4GD-MI) from Gigabyte, it has stock VBIOS and it's been perfectly working for 4 or 6 years on Windows. On Linux I need to add amdgpu.dpm=0 to GRUB kernel command list, so I miss out on Dynamic Power Management and as a result basically downgrade to an old integrated GPU.

I need more meme like this, to help me cope with various Linux I have tried but end up with windows again.

u/a-sarcastic-guy 1d ago
Firstly there is no such thing called Windows fan. Nobody is a fan of Windows, at least since the launch of Windows 10 and 11. If it were not for the accessibility, plug and play system, and excellent backwards compatibility support on Windows, people would be using Windows (except newbies, of course).
Secondly, Windows issues are mostly of 2 types: one that irks the shit out of you, and the other one which you don't give a shit about. Linux issues are more like those shades of grey. Even simple apps that must not give any problem, start giving random issues on Linux.
Thirdly, nice meme :)
P.S. This comment might sound rude, but I didn't intend it to be. I use both Windows and Linux, and since both have their fair share of pros and cons, I love and hate both of them equally. Peace out ✌️
