    Windows 11 coerced me into being an Ubuntu user.

      I just went through those weasel-worded Windows 11 setup questions three times while configuring a laptop for a family member, then twice had to figure out how to dodge it demanding a Microsoft account, after which I needed to remove all the bloatware and change various defaults. My own laptop with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has been a delight to use by comparison.

      Also, the Windows 11 Start menu still doesn’t work half the time.

              linux users attacking other linux users for using the wrong linux

              also how do you know if someone uses Arch?

              I actually use GNU/Windows or as I have come to call it GNU + Windows.

          distro snobs are typically just having a laugh, it’s the text editor weirdos you gotta look out for.

          I use VIM btw

        “Ubuntu” is Zulu for “can’t install Debian”.
