    Microsoft is so incredibly desperate to stop people from installing Linux that they’ll do everything other than making a good operating system or anything else that matters

      No, they’re really not. When was the last time you looked up the stats for household OSs being used?

          You might want to consider improving your understanding of this a little bit before dropping it in the chat.

            The argument is basically that Windows is the most popular operating system so it should be the best or be good quality and ignores the fact that Microsoft shoves Windows down peoples throats. They have no incentive to make Windows better because OEMs will ship it anyway (ex: Vista and Windows 8).

              First commenter: Microsoft is worried about the threat Linux poses to Windows.

              Second commenter: No they aren’t, look at usage stats.

              You: Guys, I’ll have you know that a lot of people liking something doesn’t necessarily mean it is better.

      I doubt Microsoft even thinks about Linux as a competitor in the consumer space. People on Lemmy are seriously delusional about how many people use or even know about Linux.
