We constantly hear about all the bad shit MS is doing, then somebody points out an alternative, and then people like you get pissed off about it. "NO. I don't want to hear about the alternatives! I'll stick to Microsoft, they'll stop their antics some day, I can fix ~~her~~ them ❤️"
Maybe if people don't want to hear about OS alternatives, they should stop complaining about the one they have?
I don't understand the anger that springs up when people say "this isn't an issue on Linux". If your washing machine kept leaking water all over your floor, and someone said "hey have you considered getting a different one?" it'd be insane to get angry at them for that, yet it happens all the time with OSes. It's just a tool. You don't owe allegiance to an OS.
That analogy about the washing machine doesn't quite work.
I cannot run applications that I rely on for my business on Linux. It is not even an option even if I wanted to.
The hassle of switching operating systems isnt problem, It's the lack of compatibility.
Then don't use Linux for that use case? Nobody is telling you to. I'm not trying to convert you.
I'm saying that people need to stop getting so upset when someone recommends tool B for job X when people complain about the issues with tool A.
If the people that use tool A are tired of hearing about how tool B doesn't have the issues they're facing with tool A, then maybe those people should stop publicly talking about those issues.
