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!

No, I mean, really. Why does someone "have" to use it.

@mirabilos @rubenerd I want to use VMware Workstation and it completely freezes my machine on Linux.

@juni @rubenerd DDTT, it’s just another crappy proprietary product.

@mirabilos If the product runs well on 2 out of 3 platforms, I'd rather blame the third platform than the product.

@juni shows how short-sighted you are

@mirabilos ok, but do you have anything substantial to say instead of personal remarks?

Edit: got blocked. Fediverse, never change.
