Hows the cheap people’s activation problem? lol
I guess because no one is passionate about it. It’s just something people are using because it came with their computer.
Here people are almost only talking badly about it. It’s not a good product but I wonder if it’s as bad as people on Lemmy make it sound.
Still I don’t want to waste time away from Linux to discover it by myself.
Windows is worse than people on lemmy make it sound.
Windows is the safe (or was) default. If you walk into most companies, that’s what everyone has. If you buy a PC, that’s what’s installed. Using Linux or Mac is a conscious choice. That “us vs. them” feeling tends to foster community.
Windows was never the safe option, it was the anticompetative option that took away the safe options!! Windows has always been quite genuinely the least secure, least stable, least maintainable option.
“thats whats installed” I remember those times, but now Microsoft is forcing you to bloat your cheaper PC with win11, otherwise it will be out of date.Thats the problem now.
They exist, they’re just more corporate and centralized, and inundated with basic tech support questions due to the huge install base.
Like this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/windows
If you dig deep enough in there you’ll find administrators talking about powershell hacks and devops and group policy and stuff like that. There’s probably people who are “passionate” about Windows, I’d imagine, but since it’s closed source there’s only so much you can do without being literally an employee of MS. The people I’ve met like this are kind of smugly defensive about Windows because they’ve invested so much training and knowledge into its arcana, but it’s not exactly “passion”.

I found this communityI think it’s not that active, right?

Also some more from a quick search for “windows”, and my instance isn’t even that big to help with discoverability:
Oh
I recon its because nearly everyone who uses windows hates it, and with MacOS and Linux there are proud users.
Imagine being proud of using Apple 😂
Imagine being proud of using Microsoft!
At least Apple makes decent hardware (and questionable software practices). But at least macOS is true Unix. With WSL now I’m not really sure which experience is better.
I’d still take Linux any time.
Apple products are shit. There is no way around Linux for anyone with half a brain.
They have the best ARM CPUs in any consumer product and very good software/hardware security. I hate Apple because their shit is overpriced and locked-down but that doesnt mean its garbage.
Agreed. ipads and iphones being locked as a platform, i would never buy them. The PCs? You can install Linux and be happy with it (if you’re lucky enough).
Imagine buying a trash Mac for something like that lmao
I don’t understand why you are being so impolite.
I understand making fun of apple shills, it’s not a mature thing to do, but I get it. I just want to point out that being so “anti shill” is just as cringe.
Why do you care about what other people buy? We are having a technical discussion about different platforms, and your whole argument is “lmao buying apple”.
-
It’s corporate trash. Fuck Apple and their fanboys.
-
It’s poor people’s idea of pricey hardware.
-
It’s unusable crap with horrendous design.
-
My CPU positively destroys anything made by those idiots.
- It’s corporate trash but still does a couple things right
- Your CPU uses 5 times the energy and gets way hotter
- You can hate apple but also see the couple of things they do correctly.
- Yes Linux is better in every way except it’s a bit more to maintain, but I personally find it worth the effort.
- That goes for qny company. Zero points.
-Yes, it’s better.
-
The only thing they’re good at is marketing and you’re falling for it. It’s technology for tech illiterate idiots.
-
Linux fucks every other OS.

I know several 😅 And me who are using an iPhone SE 2020 only for testing and learning the shitty system, can’t understand how the F people love iOS. I have also tried macOS. Hated it.
Why? They just wanna be computer experts, I think. Windows users look like they don’t even care.
Customers don’t make good good communities.
Idk how many people I have met who don’t know what windows is despite using it for years. For them it is Mac and PC (pc meaning windows), anything outside of that is black magic or hacker stuff.
No one has ever gone out of their way to run windows. At least not in 25y.
loolloddol
This is like asking “where is White Culture?”
My sibling in Christ, its called the Mainstream.
Or “Why isn’t there a straight community? Are the gays winning?”
“But when is white history month??”
Found the person reddit banned.
