Continue using windows no matter how fucked it gets, and continue feeling entitled to complain about it without anyone telling you what a dumb choice it is. Obviously.
Even if it were true that it’s not a solution for most people, which is false but I’ll play along, “it’s not a solution for most people” is such a dumb response.
Only solutions that apply to “most people” should be allowed to be suggested? People in edge cases should just never have their problem solved? Huh??
Yeah like even the use cases suggested in the screenshot:
“Maybe theyre not a computer toucher and have no confidence touching computers” - great then someone should tell them how easy linux can be. My grandmas been using it happily for years and she couldnt tell you the difference between microsoft and google.
“Maybe they were perfectly happy using the OS before some new feature was added” - well new features are gonna keep bei g added, and theyre likely to be increasingly annoying and invasive, wouldnt it be great to have an alternative without that dumb ‘feature’?
“Maybe they’re stressed and don’t have time” - i can reallu relate to this one, i remember how much stress windows’ bullshit used to add to my life, im so glad i dont have to spend time or energy fixing or complaining about dumb windows problems anymore.
So the position is “don’t suggest a solution if it doesn’t apply to most people” and also at the same time “a solution that applies for most people doesn’t actually exist”.
Seems like a really stupid and unproductive position to have, not to mention completely incorrect, because Linux actually is a solution for most people.
Understand that things aren’t perfect, and complaining is cathartic. You don’t need to fix everything that people complain about - if someone complains about their car, do you need a “solution”? I complain about my cat’s annoying behaviours all the time, but there’s no acceptable way to fix them.
So, what would you say is a solution for “most people” that we should be suggesting, instead?

You think people are only suggesting it in cases where it’s appropriate?
There isn’t a general solution to every problem, stop treating Linux like it is one.
You activated my trap card!
