And that's why they don't switch to Linux.

    I don't switch to linux because I need to use "breakout rooms" in Teams on a daily basis and they disabled that for linux.

    I'm talking about after they refuse to help themselves. They want their learned helplessness and Microsoft stockholm syndrome validated, and fuck that!

    Ok, but my point is that, if you want them to switch to Linux and because you like it and seem to hate Windows, I think that's a reasonable assumption, treating them poorly will not make that better for anyone. They won't want to put forth the effort and as a primarily Windows user and having tried Linux on many occasions, I can say it can be a daunting task especially when you need to use the command line. In the past I can honestly say that I have had a lot of help from very knowledgeable and friendly Linux users. But please don't deny that Linux users aren't just a little bit elitist.

    In fact I can already picture the current Linux community complaining about the state of Linux if it were to skyrocket in popularity. Suddenly it would be like, all these stupid Windows users coming to Linux, ruining the experience. Companies trying to profit off of it. I liked it better when it was a small community.

    Did you actually see the thing this was posted in response to? It was about scolding Linux users for even politely suggesting switching, which is the bare minimum to even begin to try to help solve the complainers' real problem (corporate enshittification) instead of just the symptom du jour they were complaining about at any given moment.

    Don't scold us for trying to help you and then have the utter fucking gall to try to police our tone instead of your own!

    I want Omnissa (VMWare) Horizon Client to support Wayland. Until then, while I have to boot into Windows for one thing, I might as well boot into Windows for everything.

    Maybe next year will be the year of the Linux Desktop.
