    Are you upset at people criticizing Microsoft? Is that the point you are trying to make?

      I was criticizing MS before most of lemmy was fucking born. But can you see what I’m saying?

      “Never had these issues, not once.”

      Lemmy: “Fuck you! Yes you have! You’re not in our tribe!” (Also lemmy: Only idiot conservatives defend their tribe no matter what.)

      Can you see how insane that is from my perspective? Installed Windows 10 on this SSD 8-years ago. Moved that SSD through 3 or 4 PCs and upgraded to 11, no problems.

      Then there was a very similar thread about people trying to switch to Linux:

      “As soon as I get $basic_driver working, I can finally switch!”

      Been running Linux servers for 20-years. I never use MS unless there’s a compelling reason, IIS or some bullshit. But the Linux desktop is still a clusterfuck.

      “It’s awesome if you use $distro with $desktop! You’ll have problems with $x, $y and $z, but you can fix that by [command line work].”

      “OK. I can make Windows go with a base ISO and some PowerShell. No ads, no horseshit, start menu is flawless.”

      “Look at this idiot that has to use a CLI to make his OS work!”

      These people are like atheists that just learned you don’t have to believe in god.

        You just come off as unusually worked up about the Microsoft criticisms is why I ask.

        Its not even a lemmy thing exclusive either. From reddit to youtube there’s been lot of criticism of the direction of consumer Windows 11 that there’s people providing guides now on getting LTSC.

        I used windows since 3.1 up till 11. It’s dogshit after windows 7 even when I use cmd scripts to limit telemetry and customize it because MS with their infinite wisdom decided to revert my customizations to their default dogshit.

        Linux is not perfect at all but Id rather dealing with linux issues over greedy executive decisions to cause issues intentionally.

          It’s dogshit after windows 7

          Lol

          Not only were there several dogshit windows versions before 7, 8 was an upgrade in almost every way other than “omg start menu big now” culture shock. The new task manager alone was worth having a slightly bigger start menu.
