    Using windows is very much like paying some to chop off your genitals piece by piece with just a rusty hammer. They come up with a better hammer ⚒️🔨 each year but it turns out to be the same old hammer with a different coat of paint. Others look at you and tell you “why do you pay for Microsoft to hit you in your genitals?” And you say "the new Windows 11 hammer handle comes with vibrating isolation features second to non! You can’t even hear it l!

    I don’t like it. He is just perpetuating the endless stereotypes that plague linux and harm linux adoption.

    If you are using a somewhat stable distro and don’t have weird hardware, you don’t need to “write your own driver” etc. A lot more people “punch themselves in the face” by using a buggy, ad infested, data harvesting operating system even though they just need a web browser.

      Linux: i punch myself in the face because it’s free

      Windows: i pay this guy to punch me in the face, but he sometimes decides to punch me in the nuts, and also tries to sell me stuff

    Wholeheartedly agree. But the alternative is like a neck massage with a chainsaw, by a trained torturer. It costs money.

    Man, the lack of a sense of humor in this thread is palpable. Can cut the harrumph with a knife.
