Windows is just so bad and not user-friendly at all. You can't even customize the way it looks. Some fag is going to say "well you can change the desktop wallpaper and your accent color" that's not what I mean. Maybe that satisfies your simple mind ranjeesh, but for us white men we prefer real tweaks.

Windows has lived on the edge of being shit but not shit enough to warrant a big migration, but lately (past few years) they've kept on pushing and pushing more and more shit into their shit OS, and now even retard normies are feeling the shitness, so they're moving away (most are going to Apple, nerds are going to Linux, whenever possible).

People are fed up with the status quo and they see MS as one of the 'big ones'. For many this is basically virtue signalling. In the meantime they can claim that Linux simple 'wasn't ready in [yearOfLastAttempt] but now it is!'

Billy: Hey dad, whats an operating system supposed to do?
Dad: Well Billy, an operating system is supposed to provide an environment where many different kinds of software can run well.
Billy: But Linux, macOS, and Windows 11 do that well! How do I decide?
Dad: Well Billy, you have to now assess what kind of software you're going to be using. Which OS looks the most appropriate now?
Billy: Well, macOS is good for graphic design, but nearly all of its programs also run on Windows 11 or have comparable software also for Windows 11. Linux has a lot of great software, but just can't really compete really with the huge libraries of software for Macs and Windows. In fact Linux runs as an app on macOS or Windows 11.
But in terms of number of software available, Windows 11 seems to have the most. It also runs new and upcoming games, and also runs classic PC games while XP is left in the dust without DX10.
Dad: There you have it son, Windows 11, which is an operating system, runs FUCKING EVERYTHING!!!!
SO STOP BITCHING UNTIL THE OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS CAN COMPETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

post-covid effect. society's mindset changed dramatically after covid. before, being a "normie" meant using windows/macOS, watching gay movies on netflix, etc. most people didn't even believe in conspiracy theories. today, if you told one of those guys who switched to linux before covid that windows was spyware watching them, they'd call you a conspiracy theorist. they'd tell you to "take your meds, schizo." but today, societal roles have completely reversed. before, even watching anime was equated with being a smelly nerd. today, 9 out of 10 normies watch anime.

there's no difference between using linux and using windows. you're being fucked by corporations. all the software you run is tied to the gears of the industrial system. you're not independent, you bastards. you didn't get out of the matrix. instead of linux ricing, learn a real-life skill.

They discovered that Linux is an infinite content/money glitch. Linux users love to talk about their OS all day so they watch any piece of shit as long as it has Linux in the title. Normies are attracted to it because it's like visiting the zoo and looking at exotic animals with no real interest in the subject.

Exactly. Furthermore, in today's world, everything has morphed into "identity." Bugmen need something to define themselves by. They lack the family traditions that would otherwise shape who they are. Instead, they construct their identities from the operating systems they use, the music they listen to, and the ideologies they subscribe to. Today, the system sells more than just expensive watches or cars; it sells identity, too. And there are people like Linus who capitalize on this vulnerability of the bugmen. It’s as simple as that.

I tried Gentoo before and I'll tell you that eyeballing what to remove in Windows + internet tutorials was easier than following the Gentoo handbook. I have a machine that benefits from having everything compiled locally, but Gentoo broke a lot due to small little seemingly disconnected things that simply modifying Windows felt easier to me.
The easiest system I ever messed with is TempleOS, but that is a different story.

IDK, Linux just isn't for me, it's overly complicated for no reason besides leenoocs troonism, where you require duplicate software to run anything reliably, Windows is much more simple and leaner overall once you take care of every aspect of it

You deny the fact that having two different setting menus, both of which with different sets of options, is unintuitive and not user friendly?

And so on....

Windows is idiotic, illogical and convoluted.

go to the Windows general or read any post of anyone suggesting Windows and what you see is tinkering.

My grandrather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, "If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop smoking immediately." Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized exactly what was at stake. He gave it up cold turkey immediately. Three years later, he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me: "Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what my father put us through." I agreed. At age 39 now, I have NEVER touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a slight sense of regret for never having done it because your post gave me cancer anyway.

Complete lie. Explorer can extract almost every single archive type now, but be honest: when was the last time you even saw an archive that wasn't a zip or 7z on windows.

Windows 11 explorer extracts every single archive now, and treats archives like actual folders and can read and write to them.

Windows 11 did away with the need for control panel, the next update will remove it.

Windows 11 explorer is better than Dolphin

And it isn't. Just as nowhere near all gun owners will blow your head off, and nowhere near all car drivers will flatten you if you wander blindfolded onto the highway.
But ENOUGH will - and more importantly, these gun owners and drivers will have the full support of the government, their friends, much of the public - and probably even your family - if they decide one day, out of the blew, to break into your house and put a round between your eyes, or drive through your den wall at 80mph while you're watching telly.
Act accordingly.

Trying to bait engagement out of Windows or macOS users doesn't work. They generally have jobs and can't sit on Google Clickbait Megafactory #1/Google Clickbait Megafactory #2/Google Clickbait Megafactory #3/Google Clickbait Megafactory #4/etc. 24/7. Because they're employed, they probably don't do low-functioning autistic shit like using a fucking operating system as a substitute for a personality.
Lincels have no such behavioral controls. Post anything even slightly related to their IoT lightbulb OS, and since they don't have anything better to do (say what you will about Linux in general, it has been polished by Google to do at least one thing acceptably: be a HAL for a web browser), you'll automatically get free engagement out of lincels, whether good or ill.
Honestly, I find it quite hard to begrudge these shitty clickbait channels for throwing a few peanuts into the gaping maw of lincels desperate desire to be noticed: at least someone FINALLY found a way to make money off of these parasites. Combined with Google directly throwing money at them to knock Microsoft (as they know the only obstruction to them taking over the desktop/enterprise is Windows and MS Office), it's not a bad little money spinner.
