    Normal people (idiots) would rather spend 4 years of their overall life “hacking” with Windows to avoid 30 minutes learning to use a forward slash.

      Tfw windows uses forward slashes too. Now let’s talk about how *nix is case sensitive because laziness.

      But all fall short of God’s glory that is Temple OS.

        I won’t have the perfect OS until I’ve rewritten Temple OS from scratch as Hannah Montana’s Temple, The OS

      (Idiots)… Way to roast normal people. Don’t know if they will ever recover. The best bit was putting it in brackets.

      You are normal people.

      I’ve spent ways less time editing the windows registry than I’ve spent trying to fix all the dual monitor bugs with linux.

      Windows issues/changes are a 30 second google search away, linux issues often enough require a 1 hour deep dive into multiple forums.

        It… Depends… Also, you picked the wrong platform to argue against Linux on 😅

          The fact that you have to say it depends and wait for clarification of which exact flavor of Linux version and problem it is is just chef’s kiss

          Ah yes, no counter arguments here, only patting on the back while everyone takes turns looking down on a different group of people.

        Have you googled Windows issues? Every problem apparently is fixed by running chkdsk or download a “driver updater”. And it wasn’t exactly good in the past either.

          If you don’t know what to search, how to word it, or where to look instead of clicking the first link with “[SOLUTION]” then maybe you shouldn’t be troubleshooting…

        I do technical support (mainly Windows but some Linux) and fully agree; most people just want to project for one reason or another. My main concern is privacy and bloat, but those are easy enough to address on either platform.

      You sound like an (idiot); you as an individual are not defined by your OS of preference of all things, and by all means, you are one of the normals.

      I mean it’s probably a similar amount of time and effort trying to fix Windows than it is learning to use Linux.

        I once spent several hours at work trying to mount a USB drive to red hat. I’ll keep fighting windows for now.

          I spent many years trying to fix Windows before moving…

          Just got tired of fixing the same bullshit over and over in this cat and mouse game trying to gain control of my computer.
