I literally cannot use Linux at the moment due to incompatible software, as much as I love Linux and use it on every other computer I own.

These posts about Windows and other mainstream platforms are helpful or interesting for some of us, I wish people on Lemmy would stop shooting them down just because they don't like Windows/Micro$oft.

Seeing people in toxic relationship with their computing can be frustrating. I can't blame others for expressing themselves in response by either beating a dead horse, poking a sensitive spot for schadenfreude, or circlejerking.

I think many of them don't even know how to use Windows.

I don't see most of these problems using Windows Pro - it affects Home versions. There's a reason I make my family pay for a Pro license.

I am biased but being unable to use Windows probably says a lot more about the OS than the Linux users.
