        With all the UI changes on every version in the last few years that simply isn’t true. Windows is becoming harder and harder to use even if you know what you are doing, much less if you don’t know half the computer related terminology.

    I’m not into programming, and I’m an LGBTQIA Ally. Just genuinely curious. Are 90% of Linux users really young white femboys with anime body pillows? Or is Lemmy just a heavily skewed demographic?

      Dual booters are fem-boys with anime body pillows.

      Those brave enough to take the full plunge and single boot Linux are fem-men with anime body pillows.

      It’s mostly just a stereotype. I know plenty of young white femboys who use Windows, and I’m a Linux user who is young and white but definitely not a femboy. I would say 90% of Linux users probably know how to program though.

        Or at least are very friendly with the terminal and know all sorts of scripting languages… which is not that far from programming either.

      Not so young anymore (🥲), not a femboy and no body pillows here. Been using Linux for almost 20 years now. More than 10 exclusivly Linux.

      The young, single, femboys just has more time to creat more memes.

      To extend your statistical research I’m a GNU/LINUX. user, i have never watched an anime, I’m white, extremely racist and a lgbtqia hater.

    How?

    No dual boot here, Windows is confined to a VM. Even in the ancient times I had dual boot, last century, Linux was always the default.

        Then still you can set Linux as default. Lilo had an option to reboot with an option to set a 1 time default. (that was neat) On dual boot hardware, I always set the one I want to default boot, which is in my case always Linux. (must still have a dual boot laptop somewhere)

          Linux is my first option, I just need to have a second (Windows). And grub also has the boot once thing, but it doesn’t work with BTRFS 🤷.

            I don’t trust btrfs. Software that relies on not breaking is b0rken in my opinion. (Unless they finally fixed that)
