It's interesting how the open source model and enshittification have pulled both OSes in opposite directions. I used to look forward to the newest version of Windows because it had cool useful stuff.

I mean, can't it be both?
Not if you want to apply the "we are not the same meme" format. That... Like a sith... Only deals in absolutes.
So, this meme is a sith?
Move the h in "sith" two characters to the left. Then I'll agree with your statement

I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.
It's both.
I'm only dual booting because I'm a gamer and some games only run on Windows.
some ~~games ~~only run on Windows.
some app only runs on wondows
Yep, I know. I have to log into Windows to manage the files on my Huawei tablet.
That's okay. I can do 99% of what I want on Linux without Microsoft snooping on me.
I wonder if you could ssh into it. My charging port broke on my last phone and was able to pull all my files off of it via ssh

One of the biggest reasons I switched was of all the MS telemetry bullshit. That and I don’t know if I ever legally paid for a copy of Windows and I was tired of playing the key gen / cracked ISO game.
I’ve used Debian flavors of Linux for servers before so switching to it as my full time desktop OS was not hard. That, and, I don’t really use my desktop for stuff that uncommon. Most of the stuff I need I can get out of the box from the software center.
I liked that one band before they became popular. That's what you sound like.
I listen to band's music because I like their music.
You listen to band because you hate music.
We are not the same?
I use Linux because of the 3D desktop cube. Who doesn’t love the cube!
Sisko and Picard.
And wobbly windows
Beryl?
Wtf is her problem with the cube?

I use Linux cuz the IT & security folks at work gave us the OK for developers to dual boot.
Switching between the OSs makes windows feel so bad in comparison. Fortunately I basically only boot windows to make sure it stays in good standing with updates and network security. And this isn’t some hand crafted lightweight install. I threw Mint on there and it’s worked perfectly since day 1.
I use Linux cuz I was bored one summer
That'll probably be me this summer once I organize and backup my files
I didn't even backup. I just went for it
