    The only times I've ever used anything but Linux as my main OS were the weekend I used FreeBSD and the weekend I used Haiku

    I mean, I used to hate Microsoft way more when I was using Windows. Now I mostly do not care. Except when I have to open office365, then yes, I really hate Microsoft.

    I'd like to meet the person responsible of designing that webpage and present him some very sadic friend.

    I suspect that most Linux users are former Windows users.

    I thought that until I was downvoted a bit back for calling them “M$” in reply to someone’s post about how they don’t want to switch to 11. I can’t imagine where that’s coming from, but it was a good few accounts.

    I was told it came across as “unserious” and childish. I think it’s neither: I’m adamant that M$ is garbage and I’m quite serious about the advice I had given in my post to prioritize getting off of 10 before the hackers manage to find something worth exploiting.

    M$ managed to make hating on them uncool somehow. Boggles my mind.

    I'm just confused here about how "M$" is supposed to be read

    Right, but how is the "$" supposed to be pronounced? Is is Microcashsoft? Microdollarsoft? It's just not very intuitive

    It’s just pronounced like an s.

    This reminds me of a gag in a music video where someone called Ke$ha “Kay - dollar sign - hah”

    What about bbno$. Even he switches it up from time to time. Keeps you on your toes.

    The entirety of bbno$ can only be pronounced if you already know it’s “baby no money” or whatever. When you replace an existing s with a dollar sign, it’s usually (not always) pronounced the same as it had been.

    Every time I reboot my Win 11 PC, Microsoft tries to get me to switch to Linux. (I don't want their online backup and the forced advertisement for it on startup pisses me off.)

    I live in the UK and I wonder if the windows experience really is that different outside of the UK/Europe?

    I don't have any intrusive ads or system instabilities that most of these posts complain about.
