Linux people, *please* understand this. Sometimes people need to run Windows.
They’re allowed to complain about Windows ads, or tracking, or any other enshittification problems, without you saying “use Linux” every time.

Update 2: I've addressed the most common comments below. I'm muting this thread now. Lesson learned!
@rubenerd why?
No, I mean, really. Why does someone "have" to use it.
@mirabilos @rubenerd Are you serious? Because of proprietary software that only runs under Windows (not WINE) that I have to use to get a paycheque.
MS Teams (the native client) comes to mind. Not running it could get me fired. MS Outlook (again, the native client with native COM plug-ins) comes a very close second. Web versions are not an option for either product, here, for sound technical/functional reasons.
I greatly enjoy what I do, so I choose to run UNIX on the servers and Windows on my laptop in order to continue getting paid to enjoy doing what I do.
@athompso @mirabilos @rubenerd I mean you *could* run it in a VM under Linux
*ducks and runs away

(to clarify I too run Windows as a dual boot for some occasions, so I totally get the point)
