Imagine having Windows installed in 2024. /s

Unfortunately Windows is still the most user “easy to use” system. As much as I dislike it, it’s designed for the average tech illiterate consumer.

I’ve been flip flopping between Linux and Windows for a few years.

No, that’s ChromeOS. Windows still assumes some knowledge that you may take for granted, but someone who’s never used a computer before might not know.

Not gonna lie I have no fucking clue what ChromeOS is

It’s the OS on Chromebooks

Not gonna lie I didn’t know Chromebooks were a thing up until now, let alone ever assume they’d have their own OS.

thank you

I’m a little surprised considering their aggressive as campaigns, the fact they’ve existed for over 10 years and that their market share is higher than the mac’s

It’s called not keeping up with technology in general since a decade ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Seriously when I tell people I’m tech illiterate I mean it. I can’t tell ya what all the different devices mean and I got introduced to Linux because I once had to recover data from my broken Windows computer a decade ago and my pal gave me a disk. That was Ubuntu of all things too!

Fair enough, I guess you’re the first tech illiterate I meet on such a niche social media as Lemmy
