Fighting with Linux is generally rewarding. On the rare occasion when it happens, I almost always learn a lot, and I’m able to figure out a functional solution.
Windows on the other hand feels like fighting with a manipulative, toxic partner. It happens constantly, you’re always a little on edge, and you never come out learning anything, you’re just relived that it’s over.
First image is from a film about a submarine…
Hmm, yes, the US Navy uses Linux on their nuclear subs, this is correct.
Second image is from a film about a lighthouse…
Lighthouses indeed have Windows.
Meme checks out, carry on.
Supreme autism. Never change king
Submarine consists of compartments that you can manage individually, disallow access, etc, while it’s hard to control anything inside the warehouse once the user is there
Submarines also famously don’t have windows
Or screen doors.
Unless they’re Polish*
*insert country that your country likes to feel superior over. For instance in Greece this is an Armenian joke, not Polish.
In Sweden it’s Norwegian 😃
i only use windows in a virtual machine where it belongs. even then, i have a gun pointed at the screen the whole time in case it tries anything silly
Ever had to pull the trigger?
It isn’t bad depending on what you are doing. I think part of the issues with Windows is software.
The other half is hardware. And the other other half is users.
I may have issues I never had on windows but I have way fewer issues and if I mention them online roughly half the time a dude who develops the thing that caused it sees it and, completely unlike any microsoft employee, gives a fuck. I once mentioned that I experienced a bug in the only mbin mobile app in reply to a post that was related to mbin but not the app (directly, anyway) and jwr1, the guy who makes that app, responded asking what it was.
I hope it’s still going alright :)
I have to use Windows at work and I feel like a boomer since I haven’t used it since I was 14/15. I’m constantly looking up the most basic shit like how to overlay calendars in Outlook or change the orientation of a single page in Word.
I once broke the table of contents for a manual I was writing in MS Word. Spent like 2 days untangling that mess.
I recently had to install windows for a research project and the fact the “latest version” i downloaded moments before needed to update while installing and then again needed to update twice after it was installed pissed me off way more than it should.
Also gotta love that my laptop can go 5+hrs on a charge with arch and xfce but lasts less than 2hrs on windows.
Windows used to have great battery life. Microsoft apparently thinks updates, malware scanning and AI are more important.
updates, malware, scanning, and AI*
Windows is the malware now.
xfce is fucking king shit for laptops, imho
I just downloaded a .exe file to update a program because I forgot I switched to Linux a while ago
Is “anytime I use windows, I’m a real man” the message?
More like Windows users are depressed nihilists and Linux users are happy absurdists.
