    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.

      There are folks who are passionate about Windows, but those folks are also highly unlikely to use something like Lemmy.

        While I agree that they aren’t likely to be on Lemmy, even outside of Lemmy, I’ve never met one of them.

        I just know people who don’t know there is something else.

        Still it’s good for me to have to use (a debloated version) Windows at work, as it allows me to still know how to deal with it.

      Oh there are people who are very passionate about using Windows, in corporations almost exclusively. Had conversation with a system architect recently that made me go over every single reason why Windows isn’t my first choice and got more and more frustrated because if given the choice, I would always pick OpenStack over Azure.

      What Windows has are dwindling enthusiast numbers.

        I was a Windows fanboy for close to 30 years, until I switched to a Linux fanboy and never looked back.

          They were amazing at backwards compatibility for decades, now they put up a TPM sized wall of planned obsolescence and instead we got a Linux flavour for anything.

          Anyway, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone doing the reverse of your experience.
