You get a huge backlash if you advice Windows to a Linux user.

But somehow this is supposed to be funny?

[-] Euphoma@lemmy.ml 21 points 10 months ago

Its funny because a lot of people do this even though its completely unhelpful in solving their problem.

[-] puchaczyk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 10 months ago

To be fair, Windows' support is also unhelpful in solving their problem.

It's the "just Google it" response

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

Ah, the funny part is the cringe, I see.

I encountered it tons before, like people suggesting Chrome when the only browser that was supported was IE back in the day.

the irony is the "just use another distro" advices

[-] nicoweio@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

To be fair, using Linux is (usually) much more of an active decision.

  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
