Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.

Why? Do you feel like you are team Microsoft and anyone suggesting you could have a better experience on another operating system is the enemy?

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 70 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Nope. As a Linux user, even I'm annoyed.

I've seen people ask legitimate Windows troubleshooting questions and then don't get an answer but dozens, if not more, messages to switch to linux.

It drives people away.

I'm also a decade long Linux user and it drives me insane too. I'm happy to support someone if they have questions ABOUT Linux, but otherwise I don't shove it down their throat or really mention it. I nearly lost friends being the way so many other Linux users are and that was the changing point for me.

Linux users do this and then wonder why no one wants to switch to linux.

[–] Sizzler@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'll admit it's done the opposite to me. Gonna make the switch any day now.

Pfft. If you're not building your Linux from scratch, are you really linuxing?
