    You can tell how old an image is by counting the jpg artifact rings. This one is from 2005 by my estimates.

        I disagree. They might not go out of their way to recommend windows but when any other alternative is mentioned they 100% start arguing.

        I’ve seen people on r/programming complain that they hated linux and open source cause it gave them a way to use a feature in vlc that wasn’t there natively. The other day I saw someone complaining that linux had window rules.

            I doubt those issues, like the mic not working, are worth having ads in the start menu, candy crush being installed automatically at various times without user consent or being dropped from updates like a hot potato after a few years, even though the hardware is still okayish.

            Apropos hardware: Windows is slow AF. It always runs dozens of silly services that waste resources. Now some Linux distros run a lot too (like cups when you don’t have a printer), but for some reason Linux doesn’t eat RAM for breakfast.

      the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor

      That’s because their monitors cost $2k

    I use windows because it combines the best of both worlds. If you set it up correctly you will never think about switching to linux or mac.
