    “love corporations”

    How about I despise communism and how it only works when workers are forced to work at gunpoint. Or, I haven’t seen any legit gripes against Microsoft.

    Politically, I’m centrist, because both pure extremes fail. -China isn’t 100% communist.

    Linux takes the position of ‘competition’ for Windows while being an eternal loser. They squash other great projects by taking their ideas and making them work with then objectively shitty (for desktop) kernel.

    Linux is a ‘best case scenario’ for Windows. (Yeah, you’re actually helping Microsoft by being an evangelist).

      I’m sceptical this is genuine… it sounds like cope to me, but it’s interesting… Anyway, I appreciate my experience isn’t universal. So what Linux alternatives do you mean, like BSD and stuff?

      I try to keep an open mind about people preferring the Microsoft stack, but from the first time I used a terminal on Linux I was sold. I could never go back.

      I still do support for people who use Windows PCs, so I’ve got to see how it’s changed over the years. Personally I don’t know how anyone puts up with it.

      It seems like Windows keeps getting worse as Linux keeps getting better… like… do you enjoy using Windows 11? Does it feel good to you?

          Now it’s pretty obvious that you’re either a true madman or trolling so hard you forgot you’re doing it in the first place.

          Win 11 is objectively so much worse than literally any alternative, and I’m saying that while running it myself for …reasons.

          Man even I miss XP. But yeah I guess anything is better than 10 lol.

          Went to an old school LAN party recently where one of the machines was running XP (and a CRT 🤤) and I forgot what a tight shell that was. Played Quake 2, Star Craft, Total Annihilation — no problems.

          I still prefer the a la carte approach of linux, but I have a much higher tolerance for tinkering than my windows buds. I love having my fingers in every part of the machine.

      Communism literally never had a chance to evolve as a system because USA systematically fucked it over and fought it at every step, in the process committing horrific crimes against humanity along the way. Would you like some historical examples of what capitalism has done to humanity and democracy worldwide for centuries or are you just more of a “see the thing with communism is… It just doesn’t work!” kind of guy?

        Please read what I wrote again. I’m not about arguing with someone who glazes.

          I rarely ever feel the need to comment, but going down the rabbit hole of reading your comments, posts, and history of the /c/ you moderate, I must say, you are either one of the most dedicated trolls on the internet or one of the most mentally ill person on the internet.

          The level of vitriol you spew in your absolutely deranged, completely misinformed, straight up false posts is astonishing, like if I didn’t think you were mentally ill, I could have suggested that you should teach a rage baiting class, but for now, I suggest you seek help for your mental health. From a licensed professional, not the Windows trouble shooting tool.
