    “I’m done with Microsoft Windows™ because I dislike Copilot™! I will now move to Linux even though I heard it breaks constantly and install LibreOffice which probably doesn’t even have a spell checker!”

    E: Yes I can see how that was too subtle, keep downvoting.

      Weird take. Im a Linux noob and I haven’t broken it once since installing a year ago, and libre office obviously does have a spell checked. It’s a Microsoft office competitor, not some barebones text editor.

        I’m also enjoying a stable Linux setup and use Libre spellcheck. I just found it weird that the OP spreads such false information in this supposedly anti windows post, but nobody got it, so joke’s on me

          Ah yes you failed to account for one critical detail: I am an idiot. Your joke has no power here.

      I don’t see the problem. Ignoring the fact that Linux doesn’t break that much, they said they got tired of AI so they moved to a platform that doesn’t have AI.

        I’m not mad about the downvotes or anything, but I’m astonished that everyone misreads my comment like that. Man, Internet discourse has really shifted.

          Or maybe you wrote a comment that doesn’t convey what you intended

          Given a up and down vote option, of people didn’t Get your point they will downvote you. I asked to try to clarify, but you just used that to complain

          I still don’t know what you wanted to say

            Instead of saying something like “I’ve been thinking about making some changes, I’m gonna finally check things out, fingers crossed”, the person in the screenshot went out of their way to emphasize how limited and broken LibreOffice / Linux supposedly is.

            As an experienced user of both I think that’s utterly ridiculous, so what I was going for in my post was an absurd exaggeration of that sentiment. It’s not the greatest post or anything, but I don’t think the text is super ambiguous either. I guess can kind of see how people mistook my post for one that’s shitting on FOSS (especially with a negative vote count already next to it), and it’s really not the end of the world, but I’m also rolling my eyes at how superficial of a reading that presupposes.

            There, you asked.

              I think it veget it now. If the user has so many issues with libreoffice, they should switch to something else. I agree.

              Reading was not superficial. You didn’t convey that message

      FYI, the author of the post addresses this kind of comment in her thread on Mastodon (see source).

      Wrong, GNU/Linux is absolutely perfect and you’re just broken. Now beg for forgiveness before our lord and savior Richard Matthew Stallman for committing the sin of using absolutely proprietary software or we’ll consider you bloat and sudo rm -rf you
