Linux people, *please* understand this. Sometimes people need to run Windows.

Theyโ€™re allowed to complain about Windows ads, or tracking, or any other enshittification problems, without you saying โ€œuse Linuxโ€ every time.

@rubenerd why?

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

@mirabilos @rubenerd Windows might suit someone's usecase better. You wouldn't tell someone to use a tractor when they need a station wagon, right? Even if you knew of a several seater large trunkspace tractor. If Linux suits your usecase better, excellent. Not true for everyone.

Also remember sometimes people aren't looking for solutions, they're just looking to vent.
