I use arch by the way, and I don't recommend it.

I'm going to argue that it's very unlikely any of those people are friends or colleagues. It didn't ask if you recommend Windows on social media or forums.

are those real? I don't believe anyone ever said "it's like linux but it works."

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 33 minutes ago

I think they're tongue in cheek.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

it does work though, on windows i can see ads and intrusive crap all the time. Linux distros don't bother you at all, it's like linux is not even trying at this point.

[–] EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

This makes me want to make a Linux addon just for ads

Like make it entirely transparent Download this is you miss having ads lol

I met a vegan who uses vim and arch linux. I'm that guy. I use vim and arch linux, and I'm a vegan.

I someday hope to meet myself again.

Have you considered CrossFit?

Maybe they cook only with an air fryer.

well duh. windows is the default everyone uses, no one needs to recommend it.

linux on the other hand is an obscure choice that may be better for that use case and may not be known.

This meme is older than Windows 11

[–] JustARegularNerd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Don't be so certain - I'd recommend Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC IoT over Windows 11 any day

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You can't get IOT as a consumer

[–] frezik@midwest.social 1 points 51 minutes ago

Not with that attitude.

This meme is older than windows 8

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

You people are coordinated in your recommendations. You are more efficient than the KGB

Windows 11 has changed this, many many people now warn other people about not using Windows 11 because it is such shit. Doesn't matter what you run, just don't run Windows 11.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 31 minutes ago

I literally can't install Windows 11 on my current computer lol. I know there are workarounds for it but I don't feel comfortable doing that for my primary computer.

[–] HStone32@lemmy.world 46 points 8 hours ago

windows 11 isn' all bad. It made my mother ask me to install linux on her computer.

[–] sapphiria@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That happened with Windows 8 and Vista as well. There was a running joke that every other Windows release was garbage when I was growing up.

And the joke works with 8 and 10 both being shitty, because they skipped 9, which would have been the good one.

They really should have gone with Windows Nine, to bring the naming scheme in line with Xbox One while also avoiding the startswith.('Windows 9') issue

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 27 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

No one outside of tech communities does that

Even the people I know that are otherwise relatively tech savvy don't do this.

Not to say it's a good operating system, though.

If we claim we are recommending distros do we escape on a technicality?

I would always start all conversations with my friends with "Hey Windows peasants!" If I had any friends. These two things have nothing whatsoever to do with each other.

I swear Linux users are borderline jehovah's witnesses going door to door
