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

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
As is everyone taking every possible opportunity to mention Linux. It's not like we don't know it exists, we don't need constantly reminding that it's an option.
Although it isn't an option for a vast number of reasons, but mostly because corporate IT requires systems that run only on Windows. Therefore the only solution is Windows so the fact another operating system exists is utterly irrelevant and yet somehow you guys constantly keep mentioning it. Then we constantly have to point out that lots and lots of programs don't run on Linux and then you will inhibitively start going on about Wine. It's tiring. I would love it if we could have a conversation about Microsoft without having to pretend that other operating systems are viable alternatives.
Or how about
I keep telling Linux is still not for common home use for users who are in between power users and people only using it for browsing. This will get me downvotes here on Lemmy all the time . Linux edge lords are their own bubble.
All but one of your points here appear to be your lack of understanding Linux and/or user error. Point 4 (2) is understandable due to Windows just being the default and most popular choice.
And that’s exactly the fucking point. It’s a terrible idea to tell people to switch. Cause they don’t understand it.
That's not a very strong argument.
When you started a job, did you understand it all? When you first started using Windows, Android or iOS, did you understand it all? No you didn't. As with anything you've never used or done before, you won't understand the ins and outs or know what to do in many situations. You learn about them. I certainly didn't know much about Linux when I started using it. In an IT environment, I had to learn. I work with Windows and Linux on a daily basis. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I use both on my personal devices.
No. But starting a job pays me. Changing OS over a minor feature is a completely insane waste of my time. You are aware of the context of this post right??
You wanna know what my job pays me to do? Create and edit Visual Studio solutions. Checkmate atheists.
