you literally can't mention linux once casually around windows users without them jumping down your throat bleating "HAHAHA COMMAND LINE LINUX IS FREE IF YOU DON'T VALUE TIME NERD NERD NERD"

it's also a weird comparison because i can remember buying one windows license in my entire life... i got some OEM licenses from devices but it's not like i'm paying my shirt off to use windows either. i think the only device i've saved money on from using linux is the steam deck lol

not to mention how stupid easy it is to pirate windows nowadays i will give MS credit where its due, stuff like Windows Terminal/winget/Power Toys/new tiling features in 11 are really nice. but like. to say windows is _inherently_ easy and worth your time is total cope or just familiarity bias

windows is not intuitive if you didn't grow up with it!

hell i grew up with windows and linux was still a breath of fresh air. i learned how to use linux with ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 or so... as a 9 year old... and i was dumb as fuck back then lmao

Wait, out of genuine curiosity how did you start using linux when you were 9? I never even started using it until I was 13, in 2016.
