Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11

Oh I thought Windows was discontinued after Vista failed miserably.
At least I haven’t used it since then, and it’s completely irrelevant to me.
Why others keep using it IDK, must be some kind of masochist tendencies.

Yea, people don’t use windows these days anymore, they just use iOS and Android.

Seriously, no joke, my parents have never actually used a computer. They just have a glorified pocket social media machine basically.

I thought Win2K was peak Windows, but I begrudgingly got comfortable with XP (using the classic Windows theme) then Win 7 after they ironed most of Vista's kinks out.

Been on Linux since then.

But it would be unfair to say that masochist tendencies aren't a requirement to be a Linux system owner.

All systems require some level of that. It's just Linux has been rushing towards "less masochism" and Windows even quicker towards "more", and we find ourselves at that sweet spot where they've the same level of requirement.

Frankly, I'd prefer this sweet spot to be more towards "less", so I'm hoping Linux continues its trend.

  Linux as my main since 2005, I dual booted for a couple of years to play games, because gaming on Linux was too limited.
  Now gaming on Linux is amazing IMO. But yes every system requires some level of masochism, I guess we could call Windows the OS of choice for the more advanced masochists. 😋
