    The other type I see is people who complain that Linux isn’t usable, and it gradually turns out that the only thing they’d consider usable is an OS exactly like Windows.

      I had a friend venting to me about Windows. They said “I want Windows without Microsoft!” And I was like “Yeah. That doesn’t exist.”

      I remember all of those shitty Tech journalism articles where the word intuitive was operationally defined as “looking and working exactly the way Windows XP does” and now that’s completely irrelevant because people can operate an iPhone which doesn’t work exactly like that either

      Because unfortunately nobody has made a better UI for an OS than windows, including the distributions that don’t copy windows.

        I use Windows for work and I can easily say that KDE, Gnome, Xfce, Mate, all are better UI than Windows. The Windows start menu has become such utter BS it’s crazy. Even MacOS is better at this point. What are you smoking lol

        You’re joking right? Not even going to mention Linux but most people I know prefer OSX UI to windows. It is much more unified and is extremely user friendly for 99% of things.
