A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So,
you're called an exception, not a rule. Just because YOU need windows doesn't mean literally no one would have have use for ewaste revived through Linux.
I run programs made exclusively for windows on Linux using wine daily. And
maybe you like to fuck around distro hopping when you use Linux, the rest of us just fucking use our computers like a normal person. (See, I can be condescending too).
I'm called the vast majority. I can't use my software on wine because it's not supported by my vendors. It's nice that you use things, but try working in architecture, civil engineering and construction and let me know how that works for you.
Let me be even more condescending - I use things I need to do my work. I don't jerk off to linux or windows. If there was an option to move to mac I would do it. That's using a thing like normal person, you use thing get money
I disagree, the vast majority just need a browser, your use case may be quite common, but definitely not the majority.
Wow, I didn’t know poor children were allowed to be civil engineers, that’s so progressive! /s
I guess most of the world is stuck jerking off to oss instead of working whatever their professions are. Anyway, we get windows 10 support until 2028 I guess? So nobody cares about all of this shit anyway. Oh, and for the dudes with the idea of sending western used crap to poor kids.. wow
The point is that we need things that work to keep working. Not pass the shit to the poors, keep using what works
I don't know, I keep replying to things. It's about linux not being this magical solution and everybody in the world stupid for not using it? It's about people not being able to drop their shit and move their work where it can't be moved, to an os that's radically different?
This is a hilarious take considering you’re using Lemmy right now
Lemmy works, you just open a browser. I don't see how it compares?
