      Yes, but unironically.

      It’s amazing how much pain Windows users will endure just for the privilege of…

      well, something probably.

        Like Linux doesn’t have its annoying quirks that linux users will endure …

        Just installing an audio device or Nvidio GPU is a pain. You guys are reinstalling your OS every couple of days because yet something else broke and you don’t know how to fix it. Repositories needing repositories needing repositories for things to work.

        Not to mention the limited amount of programs that are compatible compared to Windows.

          We are well beyond the point of a majority of common hardware having built-in kernel drivers and userland software for extra stuff like RGB control that the best advice is rather avoiding Linux, to instead avoid the trash hardware (NVidia for the time being, GoXLR, Broadcom, etc.). My GPU, audio hardware, network interfaces are both popular products and have worked out of the box for years now.

        It’s all about familiarity. People feel comfortable with Windows because they always used it and it has all the programs they always used. Most people just want to get their shit done and don’t care about operating systems at all.

        It used to be convenience, but, by some foul magics, they have made Windows both dumber and less user friendly, like the inbred cousin of Apple with more privacy violations.

          Playing games in general or specific games? Because just about every game I like to play runs just fine on Linux now. The only one I ever missed was Destiny2, but then I moved on.

            Nah, a specific one, TOF. But I stopped playing it a while ago so ig I can go back now… But laziness is also a thing.

              Laziness most definitely is a thing. I didn’t switch until I had to.

              What’s TOF? I’m only finding answers about flight instruments and cardiac issues

                Oh nono Tof is Tower of Fantasy. A Genshin Impact like game but with actualy nice multiplayer. It’s still a gacha game which is shite hence I stopped playing it, so I really don’t have a good excuse for going (back) to linux…

                Maybe except fingerprint sensor.

                  Ah yeah, that seems to have Anticheat issues.

                  Still, I like to term it “System inertia” - moving systems is work, and unless something applies force, getting yourself to switch is hard.
