    Even 4s would be fine, anyone who’s made the move is better than anyone who’s stayed.

    Yeah honestly even if you try it and give it a fair chance but still decide to go back that’s fine with me.

    In that case the user has made a choice is the good thing. They've seen what options are there and decided Windows fits their needs best. That's better in my mind than a world where everyone accepts the OS that comes preinstalled on their machine as permanent and doesn't consider alternatives.

    One day I will figure out what other Arch users do and why my installation had not a single issue in the 3 years it has been running so far.

    The progress in the last 2 years has been nothing short of amazing.

    The KDE team, Wine, Proton, TKG/GE/etc have worked miracles for the Linux community.

    Also, shout out to Microsoft for spectacularly face planting in their move to Windows 11/CoPilot/Vibe coded OS development. Nobody deserves more credit for Linux's growth than Microsoft's complete failure to innovate as an operating system developer.

    4 days?

    Took me 4 seconds to realize I can actually use the super key and have my start menu pop up instantly and not watch it struggle to load 50 ads and tell me to download candy crush

    Well I know I'm superior because I don't use the OS that funds a pedo's STD collection via stock value.

    I want that feeling to disappear, by having Linux completely dominate the OS space.

    The first few days is where you realize "holy shit, there is another world I've been ignoring and it's so much more fun."

    Back before I switched to linux it was how I (as a then Windows 2k user) looked at any version of Windows w/o the NT kernel. Now its how I look at people who still use Reddit.

    Maybe I just like to look at people that way.

    And rightfully so. They might not know much about Linux itself BUT they did dare try and for that they deserve recognition.

    I had been dual booting bazzite for about a year, up until last weekend when it borked and I wound up just reinstalling. I just deleted everything and went pure linux. Still bazzite, still a little scared of the terminal, but windows is completely gone from my computer.

    Unironically me IRL. I switched to Bazzite from Win10 this year and it's been real smooth. I can't belive how easy the transition was.

    Back in my day we had to manually install nvidia kernel modules. In the snow. Uphill both ways.

    Steam? We had Wine launch scripts AND WE LOVED IT.

    If our DXVK and Mesa versions were not compatible we just kernel panicked like a real OS. Kids these days with their GE-Proton and NTSYNC don't know how good they have it.

    Kernel synchronization primitives? ABSOLUTELY NOT, we'll use file mutexes in userspace like Linus intended.

    I run Windows and still look at them like this

    Mostly because they aren't competent enough to remove the bloat.

    Ive been Linux only for 3 years and I gotta say, I still can't convince myself to move to a stable release. Opensuse tumbleweed is just on another level.

    There are a lot of "And rightfully so." comments here. And rightfully so.

    Ten years and I still look like that.

    Helps that I have to use Windows at the office for a constant reminder of how shit it is.

    I have been using Linux since almost 30 years. It took me almost a week to get X running, since it had to reboot to windows everytime I wanted to look something up or get help. Now I buy games on steam without checking if they run, because... they just do. :)

    Actually I don't need more people using Linux, I am happy with how it is now - no need to attract the attention of the malware industry. 😜

    I went to Linux at the beginning of the year and "had" to install windows onto a drive this past weekend, I've looked at myself this way in the mirror everyday since.

    You know, I have used DOS and various un*x (hpux, aix, irix, sunos/solaris, sco, bsd, minix, sVr4, others) in the 80s/90s, before linux and windows existed, so I'm looking at you like this, peasants!
