I mean he got a review Steam Machine. And he invests in Framework and they are known for their Linux support. But I honestly feel like he really likes Linux now, even with all the problems he had. There is nothing he gets in return, when he's shilling Arch/Fedora/Debian and their derivatives.

Yes there are a lot of millennials hating on Linux, obviously not all. But you can tell that linuxsucks101 is full of salty tech illiterate millennials. Zoomers don't care about the OS (except gaymers, but even those are on Gaystation / Phone / Switch). And most of them are attending Uni with Chromebooks, MacBooks and even iPads. Millennials grew up with Windows and you see them malding all the time, especially the dad gaymers ("I'm a father of 2, I just want to double click my .exe).

You do NOT want Linux to go mainstream. Why? Because doing so attracts and brings in armies of normal cattle NPCs who don't give a fuck about Linux, it's history, philosophy, ideology, or communities.
They will enshitify every distro they touch by pressuring the devs and maintainers to add and remove features and dumb the distro down to the lowest common NPC denominator.

Highly likely, but it's also just trendy to hate on Windows right now.
>>
>>109396048
It's not *trendy*.

Windows Defender is a piece of shit. It's not imaginary, it's not some remote theoretical based on soppy emotions.

Windows Defender real-time protecion can't be turned off and causes may applications to thrash, and I mean MANY applications.

As an example, Logos Bible Study Software (the world's premier basically kindle plus metadatae browser software, where you can spend an entire windfall on).
>>
>>109396196
>causes may applications to thrash
Sounds like badly written software. The vast vast vast majority of software works perfectly fine.
>>
So that's right, an old Windows laptop isn't even any good as a Bible. Because RANDOMLY, and without any predictableness to it, realtime protection is turned back on and the brakes are flipped, the Windows machine is unusable again.

AND where you turn it off is incoherent. AND you have to menu dive to do it. Often. AND all the cool Windows script makers have given up, because Micro-India has it locked down so bad only viruses can disable it.

>Not a Bug, But a Feature: This is often caused by Defender scanning large files, rebuilding its database, or conflicting with other software drivers, rather than a specific incompatibility with AMD.

A Microsoft employee, someone literally working on windows, claims that it is the last version of windows ever.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/05/08/microsoft-windows-10-last-windows/

Why even bother lying when its so easy to prove you wrong?
>>
>>109397021
They literally did say that though. They (Microsoft Corporation, located at One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052, EIN 91-1144442 , SEC Central Index Key 0000789019 ) said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows.

That Verge article has done irreperable damage to the minds of you sheeple all over the planet.
Here is the second half of the exact quote that Microsoft gave them:
>We aren’t speaking to future branding at this time, but customers can be confident Windows 10 will remain up-to-date and power a variety of devices from PCs to phones to Surface Hub to HoloLens and Xbox.

Jerry Nixon is a single employee, he doesn't speak as the official voice of the entire company. Microsoft never once officially took this position, nor confirmed his statement.
In fact, their actions suggested the exact opposite. They immediately published an end-of-life support lifecycle calendar for Windows 10 at launch.

+ The Forbes article is just linking back to that same Verge article responsible for the entire fiasco.

Why are you searching for fault here turbo retard? That was an appealing factor for Windows 10 which made it a lot more palatable.
Even if that never happened, everyone would have used Windows 10 anyway and would have been slightly less happy about it. It doesn't make Windows 10 or 11 less shit regardless of whether MS said it or not.

nothing to do with no balls. People would still run windows even if linux had twice the performance. Because of Kernel Anti Cheat Games and Software Compatibility.
>>
>>109399357
>app/game doesn't work = spyware
to be fair the only games that don't work nowadays are kernel anti-cheat ones, and it's not unreasonable to call kernel anti-cheats spyware. their whole reason for existing is to make sure you aren't doing certain things on your own computer. technically they aren't because spyware is defined by being software that does stuff like that without the users' knowledge, and users knowingly install them.
>problem comes up in the os = user fault
usually is. at the end of the day unless you bought a computer with linux already on it and have a reasonable expectation of commercial support for that installation, there's nobody else to blame if something goes wrong. you chose to install a collection of hobby software, anything that happens is really on you. if you don't like that idea then linux may not be right for you.

That is absolutely incorrect. Most millennials, gen x and boomers I know will demand to have Windows, refuse to even try out macOS and don't even know Linux exist. It all depends on people's tech literacy and their exposure to things that aren't Windows (which was very low for anyone above 30, at least in EU where Apple is less relevant compared to US).
>>
>>109399643
>refuse to even try out macOS
To clarify, this is not because of any technical reason. I quote:
"I'm afraid I won't know how to use it. I heard it's different than Windows, it's probably confusing, no thanks" - millennial

It hasn't really. Windows XP and Windows 7 were VERY beloved systems. The hated versions of Windows (ME, Vista, 8) weren't really relevant and most people never switched to those, so there wasn't really this much hate.
With Windows 8, 10 and 11, there's now 10-15 years of people hating on Windows with no real "Windows alternative" like XP was to Vista and 7 was to 8.
This is why some tech """influencers""" think it's better to push people to Linux. It would definitely be doing a lot of people a favor, and if the US Windows market share starts to shrink then Microsoft might just make Windows better to avoid further shrinking. (US specifically, since EU and especially China are a lost cause due to the governments push against foreign tech)

But that is just posturing at least in the EU, corporate will still use Windows and so will schools, that's the thing that really matters. It doesn't matter that government PCs use Whatever Linux, when the orange man gets out of the white house and the center right party loses against the far right, Windows is back on the table.
>But what if the far left wins
Very unlikely, because they do anything in their power to seem unlikable publicly.
>>
>>109390644

This isn't a guarantee. There's actually plenty of schools which use Linux in EU.
>when the orange man gets out of the white house and the center right party loses against the far right, Windows is back on the table.
I doubt that. The US would need to tamper with various elections and bribe politicians for the EU to abandon the idea of tech independence. It's basically already too late since a ton of people have lost trust in America, especially younger generations. Even if America becomes an ally again people would still want independence so that the EU can't get fucked over the next time some clown is elected.

In any case, China is definitely on the move to remove Windows within the next decade or two. They've already done so for almost all government and institution devices. They have extremely tight control over their own market and their software industry is changing really fast.
On the smartphone side of things HarmonyOS is already at a 20% market share despite only existing for what, 5 years or so? (And no, it's no longer Android-based) And just last year they made a PC/laptop version of it. Huawei has a 15%-20% market share in consumer laptops there, so it's very likely HarmonyOS will become the 2nd most popular OS within a few years, and the most popular one the next decade. They already ensured a somewhat smooth transition by porting over thousands of popular apps and creating emulators/compatibility layers for Windows, Android and Linux.

>What is the nixon shock.
This has happened before, European countries faced a shocked caused by the Americans destroying the previous system because it was no longer benefiting them, people within the trump admin are trying the same trick again because the system is not benefiting them again. And did the Europeans hate Americans and became skeptical of them?
NO! They trusted America even more. This is because the people who seen the shock were voted out.
Same will happen again, the center right will lose their power, the far right will take over (which aren't anti-american as much as they are really trying to rebrand themselves) then a new generation of pro-american centrist will take over again.
>>In any case, China is definitely on the move to remove Windows within the next decade or two. They've already done so for almost all government and institution devices. They have extremely tight control over their own market and their software industry is changing really fast.
Yeah but China is NOT a democracy, it's a 'authoritarian government for the working class', they don't have to fear being voted out, they CAN have long term plans and focus. Meanwhile in the west they replace politicians like they're underpants.
