What are the silliest reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux? - No Last Name Needed

>The best one I’ve ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn’t be compatible. OQB @[email protected] [/u/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.world/u/lordnikon]

The only people I know that I’ve not been able to convince are absolutely attached to their competitive shooters. That seems to be the last bastion for many.

I’ve tried to explain (in very subtle ways) that their lives would genuinely be better off without those types of games reeling them in, but it’s a genuine addiction for them.

I have a friend who won’t leave windows because of League…in fact when we work on projects together I often have symlinks in my repo and he won’t even turn on developer mode to deal with them because it means if he wants to play league he has to restart his computer since it breaks the anti-cheat…so I have to make sure to desymlinkify any repo I expect him to clone…it’s cursed how much of a hold a stupid game can have.
Just tell him to make a Linux VM for it.
