Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 days agoAbout 20 years ago I would handle my email, IRC, watching movies and web browsing on Linux and each time I wanted to play Counter Strike I would reboot and switch to windows. After I was done with CS I would boot back to Linux. People who say they can’t use Linux because X doesn’t work there are just lazy.

I get where you’re coming from, and I tried this. The point is to get away from windows, and if the main program I use my computer for lacks essential features that affect my work, then I can’t switch.
Honestly, calling people lazy without context just makes you another Linux bro and doesn’t help bring people over.

The point is to limit time spent using Windows. Some people can take it down to 0%, others can’t. Spending 10% less time on Windows still let’s you learn about Linux and try different things. In couple of years you could change jobs or software and make it 50% Linux, then 90%… Not switching because you can’t immediately make it 0% windows, 100% Linux is basically saying “I would switch but it would require effort on my side and would be inconvenient”.
And yes, you’re right, it doesn’t make you lazy, sorry for that. It just means that you’re not really that bothered by using Windows and avoiding it is not worth the effort for you. It’s fine, just be honest about it.
