Take your linux crap and shove it - but in a linux group and not in
here.

I don't want to hear how all professional sites and tech pros use that
baffling p.o.s.  It's not for the majority of non tech Window users.

You linux jerks are highly insecure and leak in your pants because the
majority of the common Internet users won't follow the First
Commandment of the Tech Religion: Thou Shalt Use Linux.

Get F'd.

What's baffling about it?  You don't use ESXi or other hypervisors to
run Windows?

I use Linux to mess with other Linux users, or to hack wireless networks
and print porn to wireless printers.  It's good for that.  Sometimes I
pick on dodos with iPhones in Starbucks, and use their WiFi hotspots to
do things they get blamed for.  Linux does have its uses. 

> Get F'd.

Insofar as using Linux in the enterprise, it's not suitable for managing
most enterprise hardware except through CLI.  I don't have time to hunt
down, debug and apply 50+ dependencies to get something GUI to work on a
Linux client where older portable progs are immediately available,
tested and working for the Windows OS in use.  

I still have VMs running XP/2003, 2003 R2, 2008, Win7 / 2008 R2, Citrix,
even an old Novell Netware 4.12 server among 30+ other operating
systems. 

What do I use the old Windows based systems for?

To manage and troubleshoot old hardware built on early Linux kernels
managed by Windows.  I have six specially built as VMs on a laptop to
travel and troubleshoot with.   The problem determination tools are
Windows based only.  Figure that. 

Why do I need these?  Because the responsible Windows teams upgraded
themselves out of their ability to manage the hardware they depend on. 
Some real brain trusts at work there. 

My advice to you is learn it, or remain doing Windows only and limit
your capabilities of your own choosing.

I have a *real* life which you tech linux users seem to know nothing
about.

Yeah, us Window users need to spend months "learning" to use linux.

Why?  Windows works fine for use "normal people" who have a life outside
of  Internet.  You people are sickos with your near demand that we all
must use your linux nonsense.

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/1d9vnns/is_there_a_linux_system_that_works_like_windows/

A partial from the url above.



"Linux Mint Cinnamon is the most user friendly distro out there. It has
a lot of the same defaults, hotkeys, and shortcuts that you're used to
with Windows.

However, if you go into your Linux experience expecting it to be "a
copycat of Windows", you're going to have a bad time. The desktop might
look and function similarly, but there are fundamental differences just
beneath the surface that will frustrate you if you are unwilling to
learn and adapt to a new system. For the first couple of months you're
going to be endlessly Googling and researching a lot of new concepts
just to find out how to the basic system works (ie, installing
applications, for instance, is done through the Package Manager (like an
app store) rather than downloading random .exe files from the internet).

So, if you embark on a Linux journey, know this: it's worth it, but it
takes some effort. Linux is not just a free version of Windows, it is
it's own beast and you will need to spend time to tame it."

Do normal user need this linux nonsense?   No.

What normal computer users needs this additional problematical and
neckwear nonsense?

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/1d9vnns/is_there_a_linux_system_that_works_like_windows/

"You can get things that look and feel somewhat similar, with a familiar
GUI. However, what Linux is decidedly not is Windows with a different
paint job.

Switching from Windows to Linux is not like buying a Cadillac, painting
it, and putting Lincoln emblems on it, where you've got the same car
with a slightly modified look. If you're not prepared to deal with Linux
security features and Linux software, stay off of Linux."

Take your crap somewhere else you insecure bleeps.  Learn to live with
the fact that others have free choice as to their software.

Don't google.  google is a piece of shit these days.  Seriously.  

Do it the old fashioned way and read a book.

Agreed, they don't.  Most Windows users are too stupid to do much beyond 
turning the computer on, logging in and opening a browser, Teams or Slack.  
Even Word can be challenging for them, while Excel will make their heads 
spin right off their shoulders.

But they be experts on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram.

so, according to this Tech Expert, If a user is satisfied with Windows,
he/she is damn lazy and/or stupid.

That is exactly the Tech mindset regarding any one who doesn't give a
damn about what's behind the Windows Desktop as long as what is on the
Desktop works to the users satisfaction.

Tech's overall are insecure jerks who cannot contend with the real world
surrounding them, so they bury themselves in software and hardware that
require only an emotionless algorithm to properly function.

They are are the Lusers when if comes to LIFE.
