You’re either being intellectually disingenuous, or you’re new to Lemmy. Every goddamn thread about Windows here ends up littered with “jokes” about how great Linux is, and how shitty Windows is.
Windows fanboys will justify anything just because it locks them in and forces them to use it. People with stockholm syndrone justifying terrible anti-consumer decisions by Microsoft are the ones really exhausting me.
Use it if you want to, or need to, but don’t be mad at the people actually trying to come up with and improve the solutions we have.
Funny, this is my main gripe with Windows. It doesn’t just work in the same way Linux does. I get an update, it takes 5-25 seconds and everything still works, every time.
I get a Windows update and I’m filled with dread crossing my fingers everything still works when it finally reboots, and that it hasn’t “accidentally” reset all the telemetry settings I turned off.
Plus not having to hunt for drivers and use weird installers for software that I have to hunt for online. Some windows listening to my dark mode preference and others not, etc etc.
To me, my PC is just a tool. I don’t care what runs on it, as long as it works reliably, is intuitive, looks cohesive, and doesn’t get in my way. Windows unfortunately doesn’t hold up to that.
Have you considered that the reason people complain about Windows Update is because Windows Update is frustrating to use? Or is that too complex a thought?
Even people who have zero intention of ever switching generally find updates on windows far more frustrating than they do on say iOS or Android.
Because Windows Update is frustrating to use.
Honestly the lengths people will go to to simp for their $2.75tn buddy is hilarious. We’re saying Windows update is good now?
Honestly, your bitching was far more intrusive than this unharmful joke. That joke was actually funny.

It’s beyond exhausting at this point.

Except I’ve never had problems with it, they only seem to affect insufferable linux shills

Linux shills lmao, as if, idk, Linus Torvalds or some sinister chubby penguin mascot is paying people off…
I think you’re paranoid
I have experienced issues with Windows update. Many times. I’ve even had bricked hardware from it. And they’re well documented.
I trust my eyes and all the reporting a hell of a lot more than some random salty Microsoft shill online lol
