        Incorrect. I just think there is a lot more nuance to be considered rather than constantly beating people over the head with “just install Linux”.

          Nuance is the friend of truth. Still, I would argue that’s limited to a transition period away from proprietary software to some free software alternative (Linux is just one good answer).

        I literally cannot use Linux at the moment due to incompatible software, as much as I love Linux and use it on every other computer I own.

        These posts about Windows and other mainstream platforms are helpful or interesting for some of us, I wish people on Lemmy would stop shooting them down just because they don’t like Windows/Micro$oft.

          Seeing people in toxic relationship with their computing can be frustrating. I can’t blame others for expressing themselves in response by either beating a dead horse, poking a sensitive spot for schadenfreude, or circlejerking.
