    A big hurdle in any technological change is the “power users”. People that have learned a lot about the old tech and have to face that knowledge becoming obsolete. And then having to learn a bunch of new things.

    The same goes for Windows power users as people who know a lot about fossil fuel powered cars.

      I was a Windows power user, but in Windows 10 I can’t do anything. People be like “yeah just use group policy…” but I have home edition which worked perfectly in Windows 7/8. I could disable the anti-virus, I could disable the firewall, etc.

      Now I borked my Windows 10 because I downloaded some debloat scripts and now it won’t update because update service requires the firewall service which I disabled. Fuck it, not booting into it anymore, Linux 5ever.

      I use both linux and windows. I am power user. Linux cannot do all the things i need it to, neither can windows, but at least we have WSL and VMs. Try setting up a passthrough GPU just to play a game on linux. Then try setting up an AI application using docker for windows.

      I get it, we all wanna root for the underdog, and linux certainly has it’s place, but i am so done seeing this “windows bad linux good” bs

        Ngl, you’re kind of proving their point.

        Setting up a pass through GPU for Linux gaming is obsolete knowledge. Between Proton, Lutris, and Heroic Launcher I can play my entire game library directly in Linux. I haven’t booted Windows in months.
