PC ≠ Windows

-Your local linux evangelist

How do you know someone is a Linux user?

They'll fucking tell you.

You know, that saying doesn't work nearly as well when the conversation is actually about people's experience with operating systems.

I mean, go to any tech related post and every thread quickly becomes about Linux regardless of what it was about.

It's because Linux is the solution to everything including issues like world hunger and war.

almost like linux is really important and what an absurd amount of devices run, regardless of the task they ultimately perform.

Concrete and steel are really important but construction workers don't tend to rant about it off the clock.

"pc has ads too!"

"No thats just windows, other operating systems dont do that. Linux has no ads, for example."

"AAAAAAHHHHHH LINUX USER LINUX USER!!! AAAAAHHHHH YOU SAID IT THE DEVIL WORD LINUX AAAAAAAAHHHHH MOMMY MOMMY HOLD ME AAAAAAAHHHH THEY TOLD ME THEY USE LINUX AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH OH GOD OH FUCK OH GOD"

That's bad, but at the very least, Windows can be customized to hide all that crap. Some options are up front, some require a lot more digging, but it can be de-advertised. Xbox is way more locked down.

The first thing I do on any new Windows install is turn web results off in search. This resolves the exact problem people are constantly complaining about.

I've never seen an ad on Windows 10 or 11. Been using 11 for over a year at this point. The start menu just has my pinned apps and recent files.

There may be regional differences, depending on how much local laws allow Microsoft to profit off of you...

Which usually means just the US and Australia.
