People who need painless compatibility --Demonizing gets us less than nowhere

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I was just kidding. ๐Ÿ˜ But also there is surely a huge number of people who are simply unaware of any alternatives.

[-] tisktisk@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

It's almost like those people aren't encouraged to seek out alternatives...like all their peers just called them idiots or something

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It was a joke.

But yes, exactly. The reason is most definitely that nobody tells them there are alternatives. People think Windows "is the computer". Much like they can't separate the monitor from "the computer". And these things are hard, even though they are obvious to us who know.

Hmm? That's not how what works? I was really just making a poor joke there.

[-] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

don't some linux window manager also makes the windows key have a similar function?

[-] brax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, which is why I don't understand why anybody would want to disable it.
