i recently switched to linux after using windows since the 90s (MS DOS before that). it wasn’t a “seamless” transition, but i really haven’t sacrificed anything as far as what i use the pc for–FOSS applications do everything i need, and steam’s compatibility is king. probably the most seamless thing about switching.

fuck ms and windows

weird al is a national treasure. it’s insane that in his decades-long career, no one has come remotely close to matching him

they only have to push it at the corporate senior executive level. people who notoriously don’t know dick about tech or operating systems or AI–only what one platform makes the most promises about “productivity” and “this can replace x% of your peasant cubicle drones that are costing you money”

once your job adopts MS and copilot, forcing everyone to use it, MS can then turn around and say “our shit is being used by millions!!”

given M$'s heinous bullshit tactics lately, i wouldn’t put it past them to pay some tech writer to take a linux build to some big public event, deliberately fuck it up, windows to the rescue, and then write an article about why linux isn’t just unstable, but downright hazardous to your job

for my own part, everything i’ve had to put up with as a linuxnoob has been 100% worth the result of flushing windows down the shitter where it belongs.
