I got a survey question from windows feedbackhub on my work computer yesterday, asking if i would recommend windows. And i thought fine ill answer this seriously with real reasons why.
I wrote a long explanation from my own experiences helping people and using it, half way through i shit you not, the feedbackhub froze and crashed.
It probably detected a certain number of flagged words or phrases and knew it was gonna be really negative feedback and “crashed”
It wasn’t even that negative.
Would you recommend windows to family and friends?
No, 90% of those i help (ages 10-70) with computers and tech dont need a computer, they can use their phone for everything. A phone can pay bills, contact friends and family even print documents or pictures just fine and they have everything they need and want.
The only reason someone even wants a PC today is to play games or they need it for work and in those cases i usually don’t need to recommend them an os because they probably don’t have any other options, because they are comfortable windows or mac.
I just put “[Object object]” in one of the survey fields when I don’t like the company.
I don’t usually leave feedback. I have done it maybe six times when I’ve been really pissed. In two of those times I’ve gotten “server error” or similar after writing a long rant and pressing “send”
Seems to be a really important and respected part of any service.
Linux!
Since 1998, baby! Found my RedHat 3.0.3 install CD recently. It’s been such a long road, but it keeps getting better.
Linux has reset and recovery?
Thanks to Microsoft’s legendary approach to quality control, installing Windows patches these days is getting to be less like Russian Roulette and more like accidentally stepping on a rake left in the grass.
I like the second metaphor:
The whole neighborhood is going to hear you swearing and shouting 🤬
🐧🐧🐧
Weird that they started pushing bad updates after they fired all those people
Must be a coincidence
Again.
Another reason to switch to the Linux. 🐧
Break. Up. Windows.
