Does anyone else find these OS wars silly? To me an OS is a tool and you should be using whatever tool is best suited for the job. For me I'm regularly switching between all 3 major OS's.
I've got windows systems, Linux systems and MacOS all under regular use at home
Well, most people don't have spare computers at home, so they do actually need to decide. It also means that they can't easily try out different operating systems, so even when they're unhappy with their current OS, they'll rarely inform themselves about alternatives.
I think MacOS and Linux are viable OS's whereas Windows is shit and deserves to be nowhere near a computer, maybe a toaster or something idk
Imagine your toast not popping up because your toaster started updating itself randomly.
You would be right, only if a preference for one OS didn't negatively affect other OSes. If less people used windows, there would be fewer windows-exclusive software. And if that were the case, the likelihood would decrease that my university classes would require windows-exclusive software.
You might say, "just use wine," or "just use a windows VM." Wine doesn't always work with all software, and using a windows VM would undermine one of my main reasons for using Linux, which is privacy.
It is therefore in my best interest that people stop using windows. It's not a vendetta, it's not activism, it's democracy.
Uh oh, prepare to be downvoted to oblivion for such a balanced take (j/k... I hope).
