I feel like I'm going to get flak for taking a position that's not completely anti-Windows, but please try to hear me out before casting judgment. I use both OS and think they both have merit. Linux- for the reasons listed in the meme, and windows- for those without the technical know-how, patience, or time for the better alternative.

That being said, if anyone thinks like how this Ed, Edd, N' Eddy looking mofo in the meme does I'll be the first to say that's a horribly bad take lol

Of course it is. There's 0 reason to come after anyone for choosing Linux as any, if at all, of the extra effort incurred is only going to affect them personally.

Edit: Not even a single flak in the comments, the happiest I've ever been to stand corrected. We've done it, world peace achieved.

I think the problem is preinstalls. No one was born understanding how Windows works, we had gathered that experience over time. If the computer you were introduced to was a Linux system (with X11 and KDE or GNOME), then that would be what you would get used to. Unfortunately, getting Linux preinstalls on laptops is basically impossible. Vendors love that preinstall money.

That's very true! I would've loved this option in my formative years back before developing all the bad habits lol

I must forget everything I know about computing. 🥋

I read your name as stoned morman

I find this both humourous and troubling D:

I stopped reading after Windows and just wanted to tell you to educate yourself. I'd recommend Arch to any sane person.

People like you are the reason for the bad reputation of linux.

If you see someone making a bold statement and then referring to Arch Linux, it's probably a joke

JFC that joke went over my head like a B-2. Whoops 🤦

Edit: I deserve that downvote for not getting the joke lol

~~Brother, we're on the same team. There's a Debian distro on nearly all of my computers. I was just trying to add a bit of nuance to the conversation and bridge the divide. We don't have to be enemies.~~

Edit: I've been had. Bamboozled, even.
