    Because the product doesn’t suck for everyone on the entire planet because you think it sucks.

    “Christ you guys sound like you have Stockholm syndrome.”

    You guys sound like a fucking cult sometimes. Like Linux is this perfect OS or that doesn’t break when a repository fails to update.

    Wanna know what my first time with Linux was like, Everytime my mouse moved the screen refreshed. Every, frame.

    Linux is not the answer for every person especially for my mom who barely knows how to send an email and the answer is to tell her how to boot from a live USB and expect her to understand partitioning a drive.

    Look, I love Linux just as much as you guys but I also appreciate Windows especially doing the work I do. Linux is not the damn answer to everything.

    And your analogy to abusing another human is honestly quite shit. Humans abusing another need to seek help.

      I disagree, Microsoft is very abusive to both its users as well as other companies. Just because you want to bury your head in the sand about how they have zero respect for their customers, build shit software, are anticompetitive and have a stranglehold on the entire industry, that’s on you.

      I’m not suggesting you use Linux, honestly every OS sucks, but Windows actively works against you. If you want to complain about these problems deliberately created by Microsoft but reject any suggestions of something that might be a better alternative, you’re just a whiner.

      But hey, at least Apple didn’t win the OS war. We’d all be stuck with only Apple hardware, no standards and walled gardens. I guess we can thank Microsoft for having an alternative to that.

      Anyways, use whatever works for you. And I guess you can complain without wanting a solution to your problems, a lot of people complain like that.

        Not backing down from your comparison of a computer OS change to domestic abuse is… definitely a take
