    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.

      My friend couldn’t figure out Linux so he went back to Windows, he simps to it because “it just works”, and that’s a sw engineer we’re talking about

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

      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.
