the problem isn't getting replies it's replies that misunderstand an individual's personal beliefs and experiences. it's just not worth it to switch for some people and no amount of "have you tried x" is going to be enough compared to setting up windows changing like 5 settings and being done
Funny how basically every "give Linux a try" video mentions Adobe products as a pain point, yet when you point out a reliance on one... I'm mid-Linux migration myself but you gotta do what works for you!
Eh. They do the same shit and so do windows users to those of us using Macs. We get shit from both sides. It’s just people being militant about their choices. You do you. If you prefer Windows, then that’s what you should use. I prefer MacOS and no amount of hate will make me change my preference.
Linux is not a panecea. Just because it's open doesn't make it perfect. Windows has its place. You even have to use crapple hardware every once in a while (frustrating as that may be). If you're "good with computers" you should be able to work on any platform.
Having used Windows, various Linux distros, and MacOS over the years for both work and personal reasons there is a lot to love and hate about each one.
For every "why doesn't everybody do it this way" in each there is "wow that is really dumb."
I love Linux. My day job is Linux Admin. I run Linux on every server in my lab. I run only Windows laptops, because I can run Ubuntu in WSL or a VirtualBox VM and get the best of both worlds. If you have only one laptop it's a far better way to operate.
the first time i said very calmy basically "linux will never have the options i need, so i am stuck with windows forever" and then i had a bunch of people trying to convince me that im completely wrong and just need to give linux a, like, fourth shot
As someone who uses windows and linux, windows is great for most people. Honestly, if you are OK with the anti-privacy and forced ai stuff alongside the various parts of your information being used by MS, it's fine. I just won't ever BUY another windows license. I'll go linux before that happens.
i dont like microsoft at all and i outright encourage people to not give them money and do everything they can to get rid of the garbage they force on you.

"How could this have happened!?"
You essentially told the IPA bro that you don’t like beer and he’s dead set on finding one you like.
I daily drive Windows 10 and have Linux on a Vbox which I barely touch.

People should use what's best for them.
I'm glad Linux, especially Linux gaming is gaining ground through support from companies like Valve.
Conversely if people want to stay on Windows that's fine, go for it.
No need to be so territorial.

this is a reasonable solution that anyone really should take
I would never run it as a desktop. It’s foolish at best and masochistic at worst.
