Never been happier to be 100% on Linux.

Switch about 6 months ago, so happy to read these articles and shrug at them now. I gotta say it's weird there's only like 2.5% of us

Microsoft could literally make "gargle the balls of Bill Gates" a login requirement and the masses would still use Windows.

Well, all tech is heading to fellatio-based authentication. Microsoft is just trying to beat Apple and Google to the market.

the way things are, things have to be completely unusable for the average user to care. people are still on reddit and twitter and facebook after all.

The average user no longer uses a PC at all.

There are lots of us, but we are not the majority. The average user is quite literally doing everything from their phone, and they don't care about any OS.

Most people just use whatever OS their computer comes with. We need to have more companies producing cheap computers with Linux pre-installed.

I can eject USB drives in Linux! You click the button to unmount it, and it unmounts. This is some crazy technology right here, maybe one day Microsoft will catch up
