And heaven forbid you actually prefer Windows
I don't understand. I recognize the words, but in that order, they make no sense.
Nobody prefers Windows. Some people used to prefer the software suites exclusive to Windows.
~~Nobody~~most people on Lemmy don't prefers Windows. FTFY
Linux users need to stop assuming everyone is wrong for needing things that Linux can't do at all or doesn't do well. I need accessibility. Linux doesn't do it well. Over a decade and a half of trying to make it work has proven that. Some people need Adobe or MS Office (even though many may not like it), and Linux doesn't do that at all. They're not wrong, their needs differ from yours.
And it doesn't matter whose "fault" it is. Apple fanboys do this, too. If an OS doesn't offer something you need, that's where the conversation ends. They don't care what internal politics at the vendor or lack of community interest by Linux devs or whatever lead to the thing they need not working. All they care about is that it doesn't work.
And no, they're not going to take night classes to get a comp-sci degree so they can code the drivers that their peripheral needs.

I prefer Windows. Every experience I've had with Linux has been a nightmare.
Microsoft's helping our case by blasting their own foot all the time, fortunately.
