windows fanboys

Is there such a thing? I’m nearly certain that everyone is using windows as a result of compatibility issues and/or indifference. It’s an oxymoron, like “vanilla enthusiast.”

I've seen a fair few. Depending on where you're talking you're liable to get called poor for suggesting the switch to Linux.

LOL. I spent money to get good hardware, why would I then choose the worst-performing ad-ridden bloatware?

But MS provides windows for free. It just has an ugly "activate windows" watermark.

I've seen not so much fanboys but more like enraged children who were unable to make Linux work with their hardware. Just hanging out wanting to start arguments in the comments sections of linuxmemes. They don't seem to enjoy Windows, they just want to play games on Nvidia cards.

Correct me if I'm wrong, because I'd like to read if Windows has anything comparable to people nerding out about their Linux selfhosted stuff.

Yeah where I’m from esp, mostly within the gaming/tech community tbh. Not so much general population.
