    No, I’m in love with having my property rights respected instead of letting corporations sabotage my computer against me.

    The real question is, why do non-Linux-users all insist on being simps and cucks and then have the gall to act like I’m the weird one?

      Hear hear! It’s wild to see what Mac and Windows users put up with. The Linux experience may sometimes be cryptic and frustrating, but at least I know I’m not paying for the privilege of being shat on by a large corporation.

          For real, installing Linux nowadays is pretty painless for the most part, windows has this 27 stage process for opting out of a online account.

          Like both have issues, you’re just used to the windows issues, but those are progressively getting more intrusive.

    I used to only use Linux on old, outdated machines. They made it so that the computer was usable, but given the age it was still not a great experience. After Windows decided to bake ads into their OS, I installed Linux on my modern machine.

    Everything is just faster. Windows/MacOS have so much overhead on every single action it’s actually crazy. Like, just typing on the keyboard is faster. Opening folders is faster. I thought folders opened instantly in Windows, but they don’t, it takes milliseconds more on Windows than Linux, and it’s noticeable. It feels like the folder opens before I get done with my double click.

    I am a pretty basic computer user, outside of software development (something that is objectively better on Linux) I only use a web browser and play games on Steam. I have yet to run into something that isn’t a better experience on Linux than Windows.
