That isn’t going to help the average user though. They need hand holding.

Unless you don’t want mass adoption of Linux.

Because then all Linux users would be recommending the same distro instead of their personally favourite one.

Please explain then.

You can do most things on Windows through command line, yet almost nobody is recommending those for fixes.

If what you say is true, we would have the same issue on Windows as we have on Linux.

My explanation is that the average Linux user is overestimating the capabilities of the average user. They think they can handle commands, which they obviously can’t. Which causes Linux to look user-unfriendly, both as an OS and as a Community.

Why do you think nobody likes Windows? I think you have been living in the Linux bubble for too long.

Nobody recommends Windows because it is the bloody default. It is like recommending to live on Earth.

Why are you acting like there is only one MS website with answers?

The userbase of Windows is so big, there are so many different communities that you can join. At least one of them will be fine.

If you have 2 different fora for a Linux distro, it would be many.

And just because it happens to a couple of users, doesn’t mean it is true for the entire userbase.

It is a small feature used by a handful of users. It does not affect anyone else.

If this happened on Linux it wouldn’t get reported on. But because of the ginormous userbase of Windows, they do.

Not shopped, but that is a hardware issue and has nothing to do with Windows.

If you ran Linux on it, you would have the same issue. Just the screen wouldn’t be blue.

And yet when I use it things break.

That says more about you than it does Windows. So many users have never had any issue with their Windows computers.

With “everything works” they obviously mean almost everything works almost all of the time. It is an exaggeration. Nothing is perfect.

The privacy nightmare only matters if you care about privacy, which the average user doesn’t.

Copilot can be disabled or just ignored in every software it is enabled.

There are also plenty of valid reasons why people recommend Windows 11 over Linux, Apple, and especially Windows 10.

I know you Linux users get bombarded with “windows bad” posts claiming nothing works on Windows. But reality is quite different. The average user doesn’t care about the things a Linux user cares about. And Linux users also tend to overestimate the capabilities of the average user.

Like, there are so many people in developed nations who don’t even have an internet connection. They are also part of the average users.

Even if Windows became so shitty, people would rather move to MacOS than they would to Linux.

Don’t be silly, potatoes don’t grow on trees.

They are roots.

Please do. Anything that lowers the US grip on European economies is a good thing.

Wouldn’t the car sell for more because of the extra features?

Sure, but it was not like they were doing anything important that needed their attention. It is fine to reply immediately, your conversation partners will thank you for it.

What makes you so certain it is AI?

Might just be a special type of cucumber. And I don’t see anything wrong with the straw. Even the contrast looks normal. So I’m guessing it is not AI at all.

Maybe great ancestors of the founders.

How about no killing? That is a way more fair option.

In Idiocracy, people are anti-science. If you were to read a book, they would call you a nerd and kill you.

In real life, people believe in pseudo-science. Everyone read books, and believes that to be the ultimate truth and everybody else is wrong.

In Idiocracy, you don’t have flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers. You have dumb people proud of not knowing stuff.

So there is still a difference.

The reverse is only possible if you are a time traveler or critically insane.

Greenlanders don’t want a pedo from the Epstein files as a leader.
