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: I regret posting this.

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 I mean,I have to for work. Not only to do my work, but a large portion of our servers are Windows servers. We use MS SQL server.

Also, personally I've used Windows for three decades. I'm comfortable with Windows. I know it inside and out. I have never had the issues other people do with Windows. It works for me, it works well. There is no reason for me to change OS

This isn't rocket science.
