    I’m sceptical this is genuine… it sounds like cope to me, but it’s interesting… Anyway, I appreciate my experience isn’t universal. So what Linux alternatives do you mean, like BSD and stuff?

    I try to keep an open mind about people preferring the Microsoft stack, but from the first time I used a terminal on Linux I was sold. I could never go back.

    I still do support for people who use Windows PCs, so I’ve got to see how it’s changed over the years. Personally I don’t know how anyone puts up with it.

    It seems like Windows keeps getting worse as Linux keeps getting better… like… do you enjoy using Windows 11? Does it feel good to you?

        Now it’s pretty obvious that you’re either a true madman or trolling so hard you forgot you’re doing it in the first place.

        Win 11 is objectively so much worse than literally any alternative, and I’m saying that while running it myself for …reasons.

            How is it a skill issue? I’m not the one breaking it with patch after patch of utter insanity. It’s not like I’m running HE or some shit either.

            It’s just bad, and it grates me that I have to use it on even one of my machines.

        Man even I miss XP. But yeah I guess anything is better than 10 lol.

        Went to an old school LAN party recently where one of the machines was running XP (and a CRT 🤤) and I forgot what a tight shell that was. Played Quake 2, Star Craft, Total Annihilation — no problems.

        I still prefer the a la carte approach of linux, but I have a much higher tolerance for tinkering than my windows buds. I love having my fingers in every part of the machine.
