Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.
aStonedSanta@lemm.ee 7 months agoNo. That is your perspective to a situation. That is not fact. Stop valueing your own voice so highly. You start to forget you can be wrong.

Listen, if you don’t like what I have to say, don’t read my comments, block me or stop replying or something, but I’m not going to shut myself up to please some random twerp like you.

I have a way for you both:
Give two solutions, one short-term and second long-term.

I’m not a Windows user, nor expert. Why should I concern myself with Windows problems? I use Linux so that I don’t have to bother with that shit.
smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
Then don’t bother and don’t give a solution. Or at least say “I don’t know if there is a short-term solution in a form of simple switch, but I know if we switch from Windows in long-term there won’t br such problems ever again”.

Listen I’m all for Linux and use it myself, but this is not the way to get people to switch. Even I’m starting to get annoyed by all the answers in these threads being “Just switch to Linux, there are definitely no problems and it’s a 1:1 workflow.” (Yes, hyperbole. But you get the idea.) If a user has an issue and does not want, or cannot, switch to Linux, then Linux is not the solution.
You’re not wrong. They’re still stuck in the “abusive relationship” with MS. In fact you’re absolutely right. But trying to push Linux onto these people like this only results in their view of Linux getting worse, and makes them more likely to stay on Windows to avoid the insufferable Linux users. It’s coming from a good place, but it’s honestly not helping. Every solution needs to consider the user’s use case and their parameters, or else it doesn’t matter. In the end what you’re saying is not wrong at all, but you’re still not offering the right solution.

Exactly. The only abusive relationship is their view towards users who will not accept their solution as gospel.
