Could have written the exact same sentence when Vista came out. I still wonder when it's finally enough for the poor souls still stuck in windows

It’s finally enough for me at least. I’m skipping windows 11 and going to Linux instead.

When we die off I guess lol.

I've been using windows since I was 6 or 7. I currently work in a Mac environment and hate it. I worked in a linux one for 5 years. Nothing feels like the first language you learned I guess?

My home computer is windows and it'll be that way until windows stops existing.

I have a video of me typing things into Microsoft Word at ~3-4 years old. I still hate Windows with a passion now (Mac too, tbh).

Definitely not for me. Was in Windows between 95 and XP, never looked back. Same for my first programming languages, glad I am not stuck still doing PHP and Java.

Switched my main Linux and desktop environment multiple times as well.
