Nobody anymore, but even as of a few short years ago the Windows fanboys would crusade and do battle specifically against the Mac fanboys, for some reason.
I'm not exactly a fan of Apple, but I'm not going to go around automatically championing Microsoft because of it...
Nobody ever cheered for Windows. I was there at the Windows 95 launch and everybody hated it and its problems were "impossible to ignore" and it was an embarrassing failure in tech circles and the BSOD was a meme.
Remind me again how that went.
I still complain about the lack of the headphone jack (and SD slot). It's just become almost impossible to buy one that supports it without it being lacking in some other way. But I held out for ten years at least.
I get you're making a broader point about how most people act and I agree.
I still gripe about phones without removable batteries. They design the lifetime of the phone to be limited to its shortest-lived component. And I'm convinced that they design charging ports to break.
User Shalafi just in this thread. Strange but true.
I'm convinced Windows is only still used because of the elderly and the technologically incompetent.
As a software engineer, I am forced to use Windows 11 on my provided laptop, but literally all of my work is done on my Linux VM. I don't understand why tech companies don't fully transition to Linux for development in cases like mine, but then I remember the 800 year old managers and directors we have who barely know how to use a stapler, let alone a computer.
Lol, this is why we don't tend to give software engineers local admin, and why most places hire separate UX designers.
