    I remember seeing this meme a few years ago before I started using linux, and I showed this to a buddy and we were like “yeah lmao who the fuck goes around recommending OSs to people?”.

    Today I think “who the fuck goes around recommending Windows to people?”

      Twelve years ago, when XP released, there was legitimately a decision to be made what with nine distinct versions of the OS available. That still hasn’t stopped even in the modern day. So I could see people discussing exactly which version of Win10/11 they needed and then recommending others based on their experience.

      But it’s sort of like the BMW that comes with a subscription to heated seats and ABS. Like, why would you subject yourselves to this kind of abuse in an OS?
