No, I just want to use my time in other ways, thank you. You can call it lazy, but that's what it is. Windows 10 still works, the issues won't come till 2025, and regardless, Windows 11 issues are mostly personal preferences (I just want my task bar to work in a certain way).
This religious-like evangelising over Linux is such a turn off, regardless of whatever technical merits the OS might have. It's definitely not moving the needle for me, and it's turning me off the fediverse.
Linux has tons of perks! If you don't care, awesome! Have a nice day and enjoy whatever you want.
I don't see how this is a difficult concept for so many haha. Like yeah, you can like something and think it's a better way to do something, but I do LOADS of things the "wrong way". Who cares
That's why the Linux crowd here I describe as evangelical. I'm going to say that even the vegans aren't as annoyingly zealous.
It's just something that people are excited about. It's also mind-boggling how people complain so much about a product but refuse to replace it. Yeah, I get it how there's software that only runs on Windows; this is something that should be fixed. We shouldn't be stuck on a shitty OS with no other options due to required software. That's the thing about Linux, you can customize it to be whatever you want, whereas you're stuck with whatever Microsoft gives you with Windows. Just the idea that a single company has control over everything is wrong. I don't really care if Linux wins out in the end, I just want choice in what OS I can run. That's it.

This fixed most my issues with windows 11.
