@KaiserKitty I understand still being forced to use Windows for work/school (in that case just get a separate computer, if you can afford it). But there are several lame excuses such as wanting to play their games at a slightly better framerate or "Linux is for trannies". Seriously, I've seen several Poastoids refusing to use Linux because they don't want to be associated with the programming sock trannies on Mastodon.
@PurpCat @KaiserKitty I swear the vast majority of them (if they are real and not paid by Microsoft) are complaining about the littlest shit. "My Bluetooth headphones didn't work", GET NORMAL, WIRED HEADPHONES YOU FUCKING SYBARITE!!!
But I'm pretty sure a huge chunk of them are Microsoft shills. Microsoft knows that they are alienating people with Windows slowly going SaaS. There is a good chance that the Linux market share might bump to 10% in the coming years. It may not be much but it's a significant dent in Microsoft's near monopoly, especially when the desktop PC has been largely phased out by smartphones. So of course, they are going to find ways to subvert it, whether that be with Drew DeVault-esque drama, spreading disinformation or negative stereotypes about Linux, or trying to EEE it by buying seats at the Linux Foundation.
