why?

    It’s fascinating to me how much someone can fanboy/fangirl over a simple computer OS that you’ll straight up smear the facts in favor of your argument. It’s fucking software, use what you want and chill the fuck out. So windows hasn’t forced you to restart because you shut your computer down every night. A lot of people don’t do that since we may still have other processes running while we’re not at the PC. In those cases, windows absolutely will force a restart, and usually at the most inconvenient time. You don’t have that problem because you don’t need your PC to be running overnight, so you shut yours down which mitigates the forced restart issue. And you know that’s what’s happening or you wouldn’t have mentioned it. So stop arguing in bad faith and come up with an actually relevant argument if you’re still planning on being worked up over what OS strangers on the internet use.

        “You’re overreacting to someone overreacting because you called them out on it, lolz” Also, not the definition of irony.

        I don’t even have a dog in the race - as annoying as windows is, I still use it. The only Linux machine I have at the moment is my NAS. Not nearly as invested in this as you’re choosing to read into it. My issue was with someone arguing in bad faith.

      You raise a good point, I don’t really categorize myself as any OS fanboy, there are plenty of retarded things in windows (scrollbar implementation and focusthieves can eat my ass), but linux users are legitimately the most thin skinned fanboys of all time. As shown by this thread, say a little quip that’s clearly exaggerated and suddenly basements all over the world start echoing mechanical keyboard clackering over it. If linux was reasonable to use and would have an UI even slightly comparable to windows I’d switch in a heartbeat
