    First image is from a film about a submarine…

    Hmm, yes, the US Navy uses Linux on their nuclear subs, this is correct.

    Second image is from a film about a lighthouse…

    Lighthouses indeed have Windows.

    Meme checks out, carry on.

    Fighting with Linux is generally rewarding. On the rare occasion when it happens, I almost always learn a lot, and I’m able to figure out a functional solution.

    Windows on the other hand feels like fighting with a manipulative, toxic partner. It happens constantly, you’re always a little on edge, and you never come out learning anything, you’re just relived that it’s over.

    I’ve just joined a windows shop after developing in Linux for the last 15 years.

    Nothing is predictable. UI prompts change my files. I get ads for Xbox in my development environment. Build assemblies/dependency chains are inscrutable.

    Windows is fucking cancer.

    I have to use Windows at work and I feel like a boomer since I haven’t used it since I was 14/15. I’m constantly looking up the most basic shit like how to overlay calendars in Outlook or change the orientation of a single page in Word.

      I once broke the table of contents for a manual I was writing in MS Word. Spent like 2 days untangling that mess.

    I recently had to install windows for a research project and the fact the “latest version” i downloaded moments before needed to update while installing and then again needed to update twice after it was installed pissed me off way more than it should.

    Also gotta love that my laptop can go 5+hrs on a charge with arch and xfce but lasts less than 2hrs on windows.
