There are more users now, some are tired of the Linux recommendations in every thread.
They are wrong of course and should just switch. :)
It's not that, it's mainly because they're tired of being browbeaten and having their freewill raped by someone who is basically being just yet another marketer. A marketer that is pushing a free product. To them, it's just one more obnoxious annoying ad that they have to deal with and block.
We fucking get it, Linux is there, they know. They aren't switching in the numbers that you're to meet, mr.free marketer. They just want you to shut the fuck up and leave them alone.
And that automatically puts you in the wrong everytime. So take your pompous attitude and choke on it.
Bit weird to be so angry about this. The commenter is not 'basically just another marketer' because they have nothing (financial or otherwise) to gain from others using linux. They genuinely believe it is a better product and it is in your interests to use it.
Direct your anger at Microsoft if you feel as though you are being forced to do anything, they the ones choosing to enshitify Windows, and removing it as a viable option.
When you're going around on EVERY. SINGLE. MICROSOFT. THREAD. to say "GO ON LINUX! IT MAKES YOU HARD IN YOUR PANTS!" YOU are by and large, being a marketer. Just because you aren't getting paid for it or aren't directly affiliated, doesn't remove that ability that you're going around advertising for this product.
Bit weird to be so defensive on this and re-purpose what marketing is when you just outlined what marketing is like.
No I won't direct my anger at Microsoft, don't you tell me shit. I'm directing my anger at you and the OP because of shit like this with the whole Linux parade that always happens whenever anything is reported about Microsoft.
I would've thought that Linux usage going over 1% for once in a long time, would've been enough to shut you guys the fuck up. Guess not. Gotta inflate numbers. Gotta promote GROWTH!
So sick of you Linux clowning fanboys parading your free advertising. Bit weird of you to justify that, ain't it? Bit weird.
Stop raping people's free choice already, just stop. You don't see Windows users telling Linux users to go use Windows, do you? No, you don't.
This is what being a Linux fanboy is probably like
Nobody is attacking your free choice, they're literally trying to give you another option. That's what free choice is all about.
If you are making an informed devision to remain with windows as it gets worse and worse, then that is up to you, but don't come at people for trying to offer you an alternative just because you've made that decision.
Loser
Cry.
You think people choose Microsoft Windows because of free choice? You know it's pre-installed on every computer right?
New users don't make an active choice. Windows is default. Alternatives are better than windows, but must be recommended to users so they know about it.
Users being passionate about a free product because they love it... Is that marketing? There is no agenda here besides wanting to help other computer users not be exploited.
The behavior of big tech is unacceptable and users would not choose to be treated like that if they had an alternative. They just need to find out about that alternative. Linux users are really passionate about this because we know it's an amazing operating system.
Ok. Stick with the company that's forcing recall on you.
Okay, I'll stick to an OS that currently don't have that feature and still got a few years left of extensive support. Of which I'll still be on said OS even if support truly ends, by which comes time to consider upgrading, Microsoft will already be on the next Windows version.
See how your blatant and baseless assumption falls apart? Idiot.
