!Linux knows what's up and will help you on your way

    Recall is just a piece that sped up my transition (I have Pro, so Copilot is less of a problem for me). The final nail in the coffin was having to deal with a driver-update-checker that randomly uses 70% processor to do things like check for updates and send telemetry to Intel.

    On Linux, I just have to run the usual update command, and it will be updated there, without sending gobs of telemetry to Fuckifiknow.

      Hopefully you can see now that we had good reason to. Imagine a world where Linux didn't exist and the only answer to Microsoft's power was Apple and vice versa

          If being told you should do something which in fact you should do, by someone who has no real power to pressure you to do it, is so "annoying" to you that's a personal problem.

          If you think reminding people that a thing exists (even if it's annoying to pretty much everyone) doesn't help adoption of that thing then you should tell that to all the advertising agencies that make trillions creating propaganda (for Windows even)

            Something I should do? Who are you to determine what I should do or not? I swear linux fanboys are one of the most annoying people on earth. I feel like if you can't stop telling people to use linux whenever you hear that they are using a different OS is a personal problem you should work on.

              I can tell you what you should do all day long and it will never hurt you, unless you decide to reactively to the opposite even when I'm right.

              If you tell me to stop being an annoying Linux fanboy I will have no choice but to continue, because that's what you have to do when someone tells you something.

    Bold to assume that I use Windows at all... (except when 100% mandatory at my job)

    Though as time goes on I wonder how long Mac OSX will take to become more like it, as iOS has already long ago jumped the shark.

    I'm working with my mom to make me a tee shirt that says "have a Linux Mint" with a big tye dyed mint in between "have a" and "Linux Mint"

    I think it'll be cute, maybe someone will ask
