Most likely performative, but when a CEO invites you into their long, cylindrical tube I would imagine it to be scary for anyone.
I gotta say I might dislike Microsoft more than Apple…
But I kiss ground returning to Linux or Windows after being stuck on Mac OS.
Windows is an old comfort. I know all the shortcuts. I hate their brand, ethos, etc.
But when I am stuck using an Apple product I want to rip off my fucking skin. Fuck your command key, stop trying to be special. Your system tray is obnoxious. I hate your unified application menu bar, it makes no sense with un-maximized windows. You got rid of the single button mouse because yeah obviously that was stupid, why not get rid of the rest? Firewire? Fuck off. Those fucking charging cables. Fuck. Off.
Fuck Microsoft, but Apple don’t catch enough hate. Fuck them too for their benign prison of an ecosystem.
…
Sorry. I get way more bent out of shape having to use macos or ios for work than I do windows. Way more. Fuck em both. I can handle powershell. I cannot handle a fucking circus of bullshit.
Every Mac I must use at work gets a Linux VM. I will not tolerate their operating systems. I don’t do the same for windows at work. I tolerate it.
I feel this post in my heart and just wanted to say I support you 100%.
What I really hate about macOS (and iOS) is Apple prioritizing fancy design over functionality. Liquid Glass is just bad UI with shitty contrast, to the point where they had to dial it down before the final release to make it somewhat useable. And doing things like hiding the username field in Apple Mail so you have to enter a fail state first before it gets shown to you is absolute garbage. Apps don’t have to look as clean as possible, they have to be fucking functional.
…and why are we still including .DS_Store files when zipping a directory and creating them on network drives? What is this? 2001 Windows XP with its useless Thumbs.db files? Even Microsoft has long moved on from storing thumbnails in this way.
Mac OS is just NeXTStep (i.e. UNIX) with a candy coating. It’s annoyingly proprietary (especially these days, compared to the early OS X era) but it’s fine for a work machine.
Do people even use Windows anymore, outside of office and gaming use? Most people I know either do everything they’d do on a computer on their smartphone, and the rest all use Macs.
Good point. I honestly don’t know anyone who uses Windows at home anymore. Nobody in my greater family circle, certainly. A couple use Linux, but it’s mostly Mac.
And a ton of iPhones. My wife is þe only Android user, and I’m on a Linux phones.
Fortunately I use linux at work and at home for years now.
The rest of my family apparently hate themselves and use windows… I can now just use the excuse that it’s too long since I’ve used windows and can’t help.
It’s not even an excuse anymore
just imagine what it feels like gettin home after dealing with winshit at work all day 🫥
I work for one of those full-Microslop-stack companies. I don’t even get admin rights.
And with that attitude you probably shouldn’t.
I laughed 👍
There’s not a great deal of choice for software devs right now. Job is job.
Well, then, deal with being in a Microsoft shop. Don’t like it? Go elsewhere.
Can’t? Not my problem and STFU.
Relax, this is a lighthearted meme community. Dont be a dickhead.
Ok. Sure bud. Tell that to the downvoters and then we’ll talk.
Nothing here was your problem, if you don’t like it you should GO ELSEWHERE or STFU.
Just an idea. If you don’t like my idea, that’s fine. Don’t like it? Go elsewhere. Can’t? Not my problem, STFU.
Ok boomer.
Linux users switching distros after 10 minutes of using Linux:
Till they get a stable Arch install… Then it’s like let me try that other Desktop Environment…
Oh yeah, I use arch… BTW
I’ve finally made the switch about a year ago. The only thing I still need Windows for is VR, which I seldom use.
Whenever I boot into it, I always get a little nauseous thinking how this used to be the norm for me.
Same here, I only use it for VR as well (Reverb G2 support is BAD on Linux).
It’s so fucking annoying when you only boot into Windows every few weeks or so, it immediately hogs my CPU pulling down updates (which often takes 20 minutes or longer).
When the Steam Frame comes out I will finally ditch this dumpsterfire completely.
I use windows at work and it’s not really something that I think about. Microsoft does more shit to azure that drives me fucking nuts. Screens/settings change in the middle of the day like WTF
I hate Microsoft
So using Linux on my home systems is my refuge. Bliss. It’s exactly as I left it, EVERY TIME
For real. Once in a blue moon I have to use windows at work or to help a family member, I always forget just how bad it is.
Me every day when I get home from work
Unfortunately yes, although it’s hopefully not commonplace for my ad bloated W11 start menu to take 10 seconds to open.
That’s definitely default behaviour, the start menu is a resource hog. I can recommend StartAllBack.
Are you calling windows users vault dwellers or something
Sad that it go so fast to be annoyed by Windows. I wonder if they ever going to fix that.
