Aren't we, though?
Plot twist Windows has always been bad.
Windows has always been good at making the non-experienced feel comfortable and taking advantage of them.
I disagree. In a business environment it is actually really good, or at least was pre-Azure. I dislike that they are trying to push people to Azure instead of on-prem.
For home use it's been pretty poor since Windows 8 and seems to be turning to shit since Windows 11.
Windows 11 did one good for me though. It's been enough to push me to properly give Linux a try again. Proton has been a major step forward as gaming has been the main reason I never stuck. I'm currently spending more time in Arch (btw) than Windows.
Microsoft has always been good at catering to businesses and hooking them on windows+office+etc.
But there has always been better alternatives around, OS/2 was so much better than windows 3.x, and WordPerfect was better than word. I'm sure there are countless other examples.
It has always been
yes, but now it gets more obvious to more people
I use Linux because Docker doesn't run natively on Macs.
I don't give a shit about our relation because I have a life.

Great to see the hipsters who switched before it was cool still need help fixing their permissions. Gives hope to the folks, like me, who just want to learn about computers but came to Linux after it was mainstream. Like an idiot.
