That’s like saying “Driving cars is a pain? Then fly an aeroplane! - You won’t do it because you’re comfortable in the car and know how it works? Well, don’t complain about the cost of fuel and the road-speed limits and animals on the roads”
My app isn’t showing me the message of mine you responded to - but I think it’s something I said about using a plane instead of a car?
I guess what I was getting at was that to me, I’ve tried Linux… a few different options of Linux… each time I’ve gone back to windows as it’s familiar and is something I know how to use inside and out…
It’d be like if I were to learn to fly a plane (Linux)… sure, I’d be able to go further and have more fun than driving a car - but it’s so complicated, and I’m comfortable in my car (windows).
Someone (You? My app isn’t showing me context) said something about losing the right to complain about windows ads and changes if they wouldn’t move to linux…
I felt that to be unfair. We should be able to use windows if we want. It shouldn’t be expected to get worse. They should be listening to their user base…
Sure, the complaints fall on deaf ears, but ‘victim blaming’ the users of windows for complaining and not wanting to use linux felt shitty…
Then don’t complain about the ads, do t block the ads. Don’t complain about the tracking, the monitoring, and don’t complain about it.

I’m not sure I follow…

Looks like you are the one who complains
About Microsoft? A company that actively works to make things worse for everyone, as long as they make more money?
Of course I do.
That’s not complaining. That’s explaining.
