      I don’t think this meme applies here. The person who’s mad isn’t the one using Windows. They got mad about a “problem” someone else was having and decided to use it as an excuse to push Linux.

        Exactly. The Linux bros are not offering a solution. They are the same people as the “just move” people. Annoying ass trolls.

      Linux isn’t a solution if you play competitive multiplayer games, which most people do.

      Edit: keep being classy basement trolls, you’re only proving my statements about the shittiness of the linux community with every downvote.

        I’m upvoting you because I know what you’re trying to say. Personally I don’t have a lot of time to game anymore but I vote with my wallet and I try to only buy games on steam that are linux native. I have found a lot of great indy games this way and I don’t feel like I’m “missing out”. Still, I get it.

          “Yeah and the foot is an inferior ball handling device, but soccer still exists as a game”

        I am not sure if most people play competitive multiplayer games

        Fair, but also depends on which one’s.
        ~40-45% of them do actually work.

        there are 3 billion people playing videogames, most of them playing casual af shit like candy crush (https://explodingtopics.com/blog/number-of-gamers).

        About “competitive” multiplayer games: have you tried proton? I myself was sticking with Windows untill i eventually tried it.

        Linux is not a solution if you have a skill issue. The longer people have this kind of mindset you have, the longer Microsoft will pretend to be a monopolist, the longer they will behave like total shitheads towards their customers.

        Care to cite sources for that? Haven’t seen people playing “competitive multiplayer games” from most people in a while, now.

        Lol yeah “most people” definitely do not play competitive multiplayer games. Are the other children in your friend group literally the only other humans you’ve ever met?

      Your solution isn’t a solution though it’s like saying that the solution to drowning is to set yourself on fire. It’s just a different kind of problem.

      • DefederateLemmyMlEnglish

        No it isn’t.

        It’s more like saying: if that guy you hang out with keeps pushing you into the water and you almost drown every time, perhaps you should stop hanging out with that guy.

        Of course, that’s not what people who are in an abusive relationship typically want to hear.

          It’s hardly a big deal, none of what Microsoft has done is really that annoying. Individually they are barely even noteworthy.

          Switching to Linux is a huge pain in the ass to have to go through so Microsoft would have to do something seriously messed up for me to even want to put up with it. I’m not assuming that I could find equivalent programs that even ran on Linux.

            Switching to Linux is a huge pain in the ass.

            This is literally how MacOS and long time Linux users feel when switching to Windows.

            That’s exactly the kind of shit abused people say to justify staying with their abusive partner. (“Oh it’s not so bad” - she says with a black eye - “and he’s really sweet normally”)

            Yes in the short term it can be painful to leave an abusive person you’ve come to depend upon, but in the long term it’s always the better solution.
