holy shit, it's almost like Linux is the OS by the people for the people...
Remember: Companies don't learn lessons, they react to profits. They're 100% gonna boil the frog here.
and this is why I use Linux. No forced AI nonsense being shoved down my neck.
i don’t believe it and am no longer giving them the chance to allow me to see it.
I think the best way to turn people on to Linux is to give them a bootable live USB, so they can try it out. Otherwise, they have no basis for comparison.
Too many people just accept whatever Microsoft gives them, shrug and think, "Well, I guess this is just the way computers are."
The best way from my perspective is to show them.
At tech events and meetups, I'm showing them Linux.
When my friends come over, I show them my self hosted solutions on a Linux.
At work, where we use Macs, we talk about open-source, including Linux.
I like the idea, but unfortunately most PCs don't boot from USB out of the box. It requires a few easy steps, but this might just be enough for a lot of people not to try it.
Microsoft hasn't made a decent OS since Windows 7, why would they start now?
Agreed. 2000 was fantastic, but that was 9 years before 7. Its been 17 years since 7.
I was a big fan of XP too
XP is still good! still the only windows version that's reverse compatible with DOS.
There's a threshold that you pass and once you do there's no going back because the trust is lost forever and customers will go the next chance they get.
It looks like this is finally the point we might have reached with windows.
The Trust Thermocline
Yes that, thanks!
No they aren't. They don't care.
Yes. In Windows 12.
It's going to be massively worse in Windows 12. There is no going back for them.
