    I’m locked on windows because of very expensive embedded systems dev tools. Give people some credit for having considered linux; not everyone can switch.

      I don’t recall where I said everyone should or can switch. I said they should be considering it. If you’re feeling pressured that’s not on me.

        Anyone who uses this should be considering switching to Linux though.

        I was just reminding you that many of us have jobs or software tools that preclude us from using Linux day-to-day regardless of how much we might like the idea. Having a more comfortable windows experience has value to us.

          I’m aware, that’s why I specifically phrased it as a consideration and not, like, “wow, those people are dumb and should switch to Linux immediately!”

          Again, if you feel a certain way about my comment and think it said something it didn’t, that’s not on me.

          I even said this software is a good thing for people using Windows.
