Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.

Switch to Linux!

"Hey I have a problem with my Samsung"
"Drop it and get an iPhone instead"
This is what you guys are like.
When people tell you to use Linux, they're not telling you that to solve your immediate problem (e.g. your "show desktop" icon has been replaced with a different icon), but they are telling you to get out of your abusive relationship with Microsoft, because that is the real problem: Microsoft does not respect you, the end-user of their product, and this kind of abusive shit will keep happening for as long as you keep using Windows.
And how well has that worked so far?
For people like me who took that advice: pretty damn great actually, thanks for asking!
How many people have you managed to convert in this thread?
Me! Switched to fedora from Windows about 3 years ago and don't regret it one bit. Probably the best decision I've made in regards to personal computing in my adult life.
If you switched 3 years ago, you haven't been converted in this very thread.
Did Lemmy even exist 3 years ago? I thought the Lemmy migration was only last summer.
it has existed for many years but it wasn't much fun til it hit a critical mass of users
Yeah, since 2019

Even if it's only one, I will have helped one person, unlike you who has only been bitching and moaning.
If that's what you think will improve how the Linux community is perceived, then do go on.
This may sound strange to you, but I actually don't give a single fuck about how you perceive things.
Oh I wasn't talking about me.
Yes you were sweetie.
I keep seeing this, and yes, it's running the image of the Linux community. Even for me who's part of it.
"Help, Windows problem."
"Linux is the answer."
"But I want to use Windows."
"Then you're a stupid ingrate who's below me and deserve nothing good in your life."
Do you hear yourselves? I'm exaggerating, but come on guys. You're better than this, good grief.
I'm actually helping someone from this convert rn.
I did switch around a month ago due to a thread similar to this, and I have booted windows like twice since then, and im really glad I made the switch. So, yes, threads like this did help me, while also providing good starting tips.
