The loudest voices shouting about how bad W11 is are always Linux users, especially on Lemmy

If we had nothing to complain about, we'd still be using Windows. It's why we aren't.

I'm still using windows and I've nothing to complain about; I know how to get it to work perfectly for me.

Go to the Linux community and 70% of the questions are "how do I get this to work?"

You definitely have a lot to complain about, and yous do, frequently. Most adults don't have time to fanny about trying to get a program to work with their OS, so they're happy with Mac or Windows

If Linux was everyday-usable they'd have waaaaaay more than 4% market share by now, it's been over two decades

Go to any tech community and most of the questions are "how do I get this to work?"

It's why they made an account. Go to any Steam game community page, lmao. Linux isn't exclusive on that one. They wouldn't be posting if they didn't have a question? It's why they showed up.

Do people go to Microsoft forums to hang out with their buddies?

I know how good Linux is, it's why I use it. I won't be trolled out of using it because it's too hard for you. I use it every day. I'm using it rn.

I'm a member of several Windows forums.. there's just as much complaining there :-)
