This question randomly popped into my head some time ago. I haven’t really found anything on Wikipedia relating to masochism outside of sex, but since sadism can be non-sexual, why could masochism be too?

    I´m sure, that Linux memers here would tell you, that Windows users are such masochists.

      As a Linux user (btw) let me tell you, if anyone is masochistic it’s us. The amount of times I’ve gotten sidetracked for an hour fixing a problem that would be a non-issue on Windows is kind of depressing when assessed as a whole

        I check out Windows from time to time and don’t worry, it’s mutual. Windows has as many issues as Linux, they’re just usually a very different kind of issues.

          Masochism in windows is largely learning to enjoy the taste of corporate boot; then it sails smoother.

            Not really, the system gets slower over time no matter what you do, drivers fail all the time and so on.
