    What the fuck are you on about saying “having every behaviour and text sent to Microsoft” and “arguing that Windows should be the number one”. He never said that, nor does anyone say that, get your head out your ass.

    He said “Windows suits me”. That’s it, stfu.

    🤦‍♂️Yes, in that sense, English could be gendered. But what it actually means is that English used to be gendered and retains some gendered words from that time.

    Another example, Russian has noun cases, but not the vocative case. However, it does have two words that have a vocative case from when the language as a whole did use to have the vocative case - Бог (Боже) and Господь (Господи) - but that doesn’t mean that Russian has it now.

    Also, blond/blonde are pronounced the same so the distinction is lost in speech and probably soon in writing as well, and words like fiancé/fiancée (which are also pronounced the same), widow/widower, actor/actress do not signify grammatical gender by itself.

    …for you.

    TL;DR there are good and bad things, positives and drawbacks about all OSes, educate, don’t gatekeep.

    I have a laptop that runs Windows fine, then installed Linux on it.

    1. The trackpad was not well supported and glitched often, as was the fingerprint sensor. I personally am not going to not use fingerprint because some neck beard says it’s very insecure and blah blah blah, I don’t care. The fingerprint is for me to have any sort of authentication prompt.

    2. Often times, the computer would boot up without recognizing the WiFi adapter (classic).

    3. The DE that I used, Gnome, was riddled with shitty defaults and random weird behavior, also missing settings from the main settings app in Gnome 43! Not Gnome 1 or 2, 43. Isn’t that a bit embarrassing? I’ve used KDE before, I like that one, though I like the aesthetics and simplicity of Gnome, I wish it just didn’t come with retarded defaults.

    4. Bluetooth connectivity was hit-or-miss as well, sometimes not getting my device, sometimes not wanting to pair it, etc.

    5. The app store on either Fedora, Manjaro, Ubuntu or PopOS! all had some kind of missing, broken, or unintuitive functionality that seemed quite obvious how it could be fixed, just that I couldn’t be bothered.

    6. Screen sharing with audio doesn’t work on Discord, could not find any 1080p60 streaming software that was free or paid or anything. Scoured all of the internet and GitHub, so I’m not switching.

    I could go on. Basically there’s many shitty things about it. There are also loads of things I adore about Linux, like fast boot times, lower RAM and swap usage, less background apps, better extensibility and customizability, great development experience etc. I love Linux. However, it feels like work to actually get it to work sometimes, which gets in the way of most people’s intention to just use the God damn computer for stuff they want to use, and it working.

    Let people choose what they want, don’t berate people for not choosing what you like, instead educate on what they may be missing out on, but at the end of the day, respect their decision. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

    P.S. My laptop wasn’t a DXFGFH Fuckbook 3938WGT or whatever with a Bluetooth adapter from Jupiter, it was a recent, but not bleeding-edge, ASUS VivoBook.
