However, they still forget that working with their products is the worst pain in the arse.

Probably. But maybe it is my habit of unshitifying every OS I install. I always decline telemetry, ads and suspecious features since Win10 rolled out. Same on my android phones. Use adblock since I cannot stand seeing ad banners without freaking out.

My point is: Microsoft and Google always offer opting-out. Users are responsible for accepting or declining services like telemetry. If you still cry about this crap: FIX YOUR CONFIG.

I cannot relate to most of your points. I’ve never seen the ads you describe. UI made a huge leap forward after they neglected it for decades, so it almost caught up to the usual Linux DEs (as they were some years ago). System performance is not worse than on my several Linux systems.

I just don’t see the point in switching to Linux now, if you haven’t already done years ago.

I prefer doing it right on the first try before I forget how to fix my projects when they are falling apart.

This is so true. Most of the tools justifying the use of WSL aren’t even supported. Either because of technical limitations or because of security concerns.

Pro tip: Omit the dot . before the / to make sure you cleansed the language pack thoroughly.

You don’t need functional hardware to run Linux. It just runs on anything.

The car must be a Mercedes. The drivers constantly forget blinking.

Describe the job of a sysadmin in one meme.

50 inch. Is your screen 6.5 inch or 6.5 cm? Or 6.50 m perhaps?

Back in the day, cars had seats made of wood or leather. This is not new.

Size is what matters. You need to judge people by their screen sizes.

Time is running too slow, so my watch does faster times. 🤦

Challenge accepted. Gonna apply to CERN next year 😎

That sounds boring af.

Just be at work and look around yourself. Many of your colleagues got their jobs without knowing what’s actually going on. Doesn’t matter what kind of job they have.

I hope the big G will pull the big N into court.

I have a knob on my steering wheel 😂

Yes, but users with basic knowledge don’t even get the difference between a web browser and a search engine. Shutting down Google seems like a perfect “simple” explanation for a general digital lockdown.
