The insane windows hate on Lemmy is actually pushing me away from wanting to try Linux. Some of you are insufferable, like your entire personality is that you use Linux.
- How can you tell someone is a Linux user?
  Don't worry they'll tell you
  
  I use windows 11 and I don’t see what all the hate is for. Maybe it’s cuz I use Pro, and click a couple of buttons to hide the “news”… but it seems perfectly fine to me.
  And I’m a power user, with Linux experience.
  
  I said this exact same thing a few months ago and was downvoted to oblivion lol
  
  It's like veganism for nerds.
  
  @ColdBrewEnema @Shard
  Yeah why do we have so big egos 😟
- You think OP isn't a Windows 10 user? Why?
  
  Oh, bless your heart. You just be new here! Welcome!
  
  A vast majority of the people on Lemmy use Linux. Or, at least, the Linux users on here are the most vocal about their OS. Just type in "Linux" in the community search, and you'll find dozens and dozens of linux communities with thousands of subscribers, compared to a handful of Windows communities with only a few hundred subscribers.
- It's fucking unreal how many of them froth at the mouth about Linux. Like, fuck off.
  By the way, I actually endorse Linux for limited uses. I'm just realistic about it... It's simply not a solution for everything.

  Lol. I don't hate Windows 😂 I'm just joking.
  Use whatever you want 😄

I highly doubt that if you were given the actual choice you'd pick the one that could permanently dammage your eyes over using an annoying operating system.
This is just stupid.
- This guy is fun at parties!
  
  I don't like parties, unless it is of the LAN veriaty.
- Orally administered hot sauce is a temporary pain.
  An unnecessary, half finished OS replacing a perfectly fine one just to save serve you adds is not.
  
  'Perfectly fine' is a stretch
  
  They said oral everyone.
  
  Ads*
- I'm pretty convinced that that won't permanently damage your eyes, I don't think it's acidic enough.
  
  Only one way to find out
  
  Any chef can attest also toilet breaks
- Others mentioned how they did it so I would rather have pain for a day or two than lifelong
- @stoy hehe. of course i would chose the annoying OS instead :D

Things I'd rather read than linux vs windows memes:

I've done this. Do not recommend.
*I was extremely drunk on tequila at the time and it was on a dare
- Tabasco or Windows 11?

  😱

I'm forced to use Win 11 at work, for sEcUrItY.
But I'm actually working within a full-screen Debian VM on HyperV until someone with authority tells me to knock it off.

So edgy, you go girl.
- Seriously, someone go pick OP
- Okay, I'll be that guy... Why is "go girl" a dig here?

Windows 11 is great. I finally upgraded a month ago. No regrets. Several good handy new features.
Not happy that they'll eventually shove ads down my throat at which time I'm fully prepared to switch to Linux. Until then, at least at this point, Windows 11 > Windows 10.
- Im using ReviOS on my non-gaming/work systems right now as a trial - its windows 11,but strips out all the crapware. So far Im liking it.
- What new features are you talking about? Serious question.
  
  File explorer tabs. It's amazing.
  Notepad tabs. Less amazing, still awesome.
  I also like the context menu more. It is going to be less confusing even when cluttered.
  Way cleaned up ui/ix for notifications.
  I've only been using it for about a month. This is what I've noticed the most.
- Both my friends are on windows 11 and everything got fucked up. Keyboards not working and touchpads not working.
  
  Could it be that the device drivers just aren't compatible with Win 11? Happened to me once. Super annoying to deal with.
- @foggy
  I agree. In terms of features 11 is better than 10.
  
  I don't want features...I don't want assistance. I want a basic os that does what I want and doesn't do things that it thinks I want.

This is stupid. Don't do this.
- @jaschen
  I'll never do any of them 🤪
  
  So... You have a Mac?

The update has been queued for about a month on my work computer. No. I won’t do it.

Not nearly awful as using a Mac though.

Surprised to see so many defending windows 11 here! The ad insertion all throughout the system is SO bad, but what they've done to the right-click (context?) Menu was the last straw. Like, most options are hidden underneath the stupid inflated touch-friendly list. Give me a button to disable it (that isn't in the registry), at least!
The final straw for me though was my VR just quit one day - but I could dual boot back to windows 10 and it was fine somehow 🤷‍♂️ did a bunch of tricks to get it working to no avail, so I scrapped the windows 11 demo partition and finally gave Linux a try.
VR definitely isn't ready on Linux (if you're stuck with an nvidia card like I am, for now) - but considering the OS is built on FOSS and its this feature rich and stable??? Never going back.
- @Xttweaponttx
  Yeah i agree. The ad stuff is really bad. Having ads in the browser is enough. I don't want it in my OS. But even all the way back in Windows 7 some people busted Windows in "calling home" when something was entered in the search field in the Start menu. This was caught using the ZoneAlarm firewall.

Wooooooah. My wife’s new glasses actually came with a tiny bottle of Tabasco sauce (with the eye doctor’s business info printed on it).
I’d give them credit for the meme, but I have a feeling they’re clueless, as they also push “healing salt lamps” in that place.
Her new progressives came out great at least though!

Unless your company forces you to use citrix VDI so you create a separate VM and install windows for this.
- So you can pour Tabasco in your eyes?
