Ok fair enough, but I wouldn't have installed Linux if I had not seen it recommended.

I'm not a computer toucher, but I can follow written advice.

These sorts of posts always scold anyone giving out actual solutions just so being miserable can continue. This cultural thing almost has an end of history type vibe to it. It's also pretty hostile to divergent and often solution focused neurotypes.

Linux evangelism kinda makes sense, no one is spending billions on marketing and ads for it. I think Linux evangelists should ask about use cases first, instead of just posting a generic "use Linux".

They only think we're obnoxious for the same reasons they think vegans are obnoxious. Because we're right.

When I say "use linux" I'm not just saying "use linux", I'm saying "use the GPL FOSS ecosystem of software, stop supporting the massive tech companies making all of computing actively worse"

Especially since most of the time people aren't complaining about windows being accidentally bad, but about windows being actively hostile to the user in a way FOSS will never be, lacking the profit motive.
