When my wife's grandparents had to get a new computer they got upset about the new windows interface and the fact their old games didn't work, so I set them up with Linux and a DE that resembled XP (it's what they were familiar with), and I was able to get most of their games going.
They used it without issue until they died.
You couldn’t get windows games working in windows?

It does not support kernel level anti-cheat!
Huh, thought you were mentioning only the cons.
Gods luck playing any of the biggest, most played games in the world without it.

Your account seems to be marked as a bot, you can fix that in your user settings if it was unintentional
This comment of theirs reads like a comment by a Lemmy upvote farming bot tbf

I know people who were affected when a Windows 10 update just straight up deleted all personal files in 2020.
New Windows 10 Update Is Deleting Data For Some Users
New Windows 10 warning issued as Microsoft's latest update causes users' biggest nightmare to come true...

Cool story, I’m sure no one using Linux has ever lost any data ever.

That update made me buy my first Framework laptop! Fuck Microsoft!!
I love my 13". Does exactly what I need. I kind of want the 12", but I don't really need it. So i'm going to hold off.

the 16-bit Windows on Windows subsystems, which allowed 32-bit versions of Windows to directly run 16-bit DOS and Windows programs
Jesus, what a scam. Why does anyone put up with this?
Ah yes, because that’s an everyday feature for at least 75% of computer users isn’t it? Lol
Much more of an issue than say GPUs from the overwhelming 80%+ market leader barely working on an os. Definitely.

This was an issue that appeared when writing heavy files to disks (50gb+), so people that werent doing it were safe.
And don't worry, its a matter of when LOL. I was a windows "virgin" until one day my system drive appeared encrypted and locked by bitlocker when I never activated it, nor had any recovery key.That’s not how it works lol. It doesn’t just randomly encrypt your hdd and lock you out lol. User error.

I use "incontrol" to stop feature updates. And I used win11debloat. Havent had a problem since. In dogshit bloat, no dog shit copilot, no forced updates, no privacy destroying telemetry. Just me and MY windows machine like the old days.
And I’m sure you’ll blame Microsoft/windows when things don’t work as expected and you get strange errors because you disabled core features using dodgy software that you don’t understand but think you don’t need them.

lol Another Reddit user, with nothing to offer but projection. Being in the game 20+ years, matey. If theres problems, I have skills to solve them. Just because you dont know your arse from your elbow, doesnt mean everyone else is the same. Go cry about MS's spyware some place else.

Well yes, but actually this is a security update
Thank god Ive got control of those too, huh? I offered you all a nice little short cut to make your lives a little easier. And instead, you all moan. Jesus christ.

I switched to Mac after my old Asus laptop went out. I figure why bother with a PC laptop, it’s not gonna game and let’s see what the fuss is about. Love my MacBook Air. So then our desktop dies and I give my wife 3 options. A Mac, a cheaper PC, and a more expensive PC. She’s Android, figured she’d want to stick with Windows, but she picked the Mac! So happy. I mostly game on Switch and Xbox these days so that’s fine.
I keep feeling like I left Windows at the right time.
Being happy for someone switching to mac and being on lemmy where everyone is on the Linux train, was not on my bingo card.

I feel you may be boarding a different sinking ship: https://youtu.be/JUG1PlqAUJk
I have been using Linux Mint for over half a year now, and besides gaming, I had no issues with a great experience. Had very bad experience with other Linux distros.
How does Apple's profitability being a little less than it used to be (they're still insanely profitable) imply that it's a "sinking ship"?
I'm a Linux user as well, but use macOS at work and it's fine.

So you're saying Linux killed your wife's grandparents.

Did you watch the video or are you guessing based on the thumbnail? Because the video isn't about Apples profitability.

The 24H2 update would not install on a brand new prebuilt PC that I bought for my parents. I contacted both the manufacturer and Microsoft and spent too many hours troubleshooting before I gave up and returned it to where I bought it as defective. Back to the drawing board for a replacement PC for my parents.

I watched the first minute or so, which was about their stock price relative to Microsoft. Profitability is a huge part of a company's stock price.
I didn't watch the rest because I'm not going to watch a 30 min video without a good reason to.

Thanks I guess? Surely Mac and Linux users can be friends or at least allies against Windows. Linux comes from UNIX which macOS is based on so they’re very similar, only one is FOSS — which I suppose is the point — and the other is not. But another commonality — Macs and PCs can both run Linux.

Unix unity. Linux
Mac BSD -
Doctors try to save everyone, even the 0.01%. Hell, the 0.01% are actually a huge focus.
In software a 0.01% affecting bug in a single one-off update, that needs very specific exact steps to happen, that is already released is at the bottom of the backlog, never to get fixed.
It’s you that clearly doesn’t get “it”. What is your software development background?

BULLSHIT
