I was bored at work so chatted with Microsoft support about this.
Summary of funny part
Me: no, it's an advertisement, asking me to try a Microsoft product. The ad came through my message tray. I have all ad services turned off.
Them: that's not an ad, that's recommendation for a better service
Me: are you aware that you just described an advertisement?
Them: yes.
- They're so annoying! I can't stand that company!
  
  i wish i didnt dislike linux or mac so much also im a gamer so windows is a necessity (but u can game on linux? i play valorant exclusively at this point which isnt linux support afaik)
  and no there isn't a linux distro i might like and if there is i can find it myself linux people are so damn annoying.
  
  Hmm they've been really patient and helpful with me so far
  
  Gaming on Linux works quite well. I haven't found a game that didn't work, but I haven't played them all, so I'm sure at least one exists. Also, there absolutely is a Linux distro you would like, but it's irrelevant if you're happy on windows. We have a choice of OS, which is a beautiful thing. Lastly, Linux people aren't "so damn annoying" in the least bit. Stubborn people are, but Linux folks don't tend to be overly stubborn, I've noticed.
  E: also, my meme had nothing to do with Linux at all. It's about being annoyed with ads within windows.
- They probably have to recite a standard company line, gritting their teeth as you both know it's bullshit.
  I don't envy customer service reps. Most of them probably didn't apply for the job because they love Microsoft or enjoy the prospect of fielding frustrated customers' calls.
