This is the thing that gets me about that level of user. I understand basic users who dont care prefering windows, but I always kind of found it amusing to watch people "Linux too hard booo CLI.........now excuse me while I learn to manipulate the registry, and run scripts/disable certain things via the checks notes CLI."
guilty 🤡
the entire loop was idiotic waste of life instead of acquiring a valuable skill. let's be real any self respecting homeadmin has to be fluent in linux nowadays.
but at the end of the day it is proton/steam that opened the gates for this type of user to switch. if you are a gamer, you can figure linux mate lol
but yet we still people accepting windows parasite because CoD or BF, same guy prolly still buying intel chips 🫢
Eh, no use crying over spilt milk, youre here now. :) Linux is still stuck in a weird cultural hole, its not your fault it took a while.
Ive always been familiar but a daily driver of windows. I started self hosting a year or two ago, and recently switched my office PC to Linux with a secondary win partition. Ive just never had issues with windows but I'm pretty tired of what they've been up too lately so for me it was time. Whenever I get around to grabbing another m.2 for my living room rig I'll do the same for it.
Are there actually Windows users that say Linux is too complicated but then jump through hoops with registry even CMD prompt?!
I can't speak to how often, but it definitely happens.
Its a perception thing, they see it as "I dont have to'learn' anything I just follow these tutorials" even though a similar amount of effort would get them through the few commands they might need on Linux.
