    you now they will re-enable that on the next update

    I have my own update procedure that I do periodically. I do not rely on Windows Update and nothing gets “re enabled”. Though once I did use Windows Update and nothing came back, so you’re either mistaken or if it actually happened it was one specific update.

    And here’s the thing, Ubuntu broke because I updated my system and it created a dependency conflict. You can use Arch, but then you need a lot of time and knowledge to tweak it and make it work - well, if I need that time and knowledge, why not apply it to Windows instead and get perfect software compatibility?

    I have 4 computers at home. 3 run Linux. I don’t have “a dog in this fight” but I find Lemmy’s “Windows bad, Linux perfect” instance on every single conversation simply immature, filled with lies and exaggerations, and honestly, part of the reason why I don’t interact with the Linux community as often as I could, even to provide help.

    If a user goes on Lemmy and says anything positive about Windows - or explains why they do indeed need Windows and not Linux - they get downvoted to the point of being removed from the conversation.
