  • Everytime when I see someone has windows problem you can be sure at least a opinated Lemmy user recommend them to uninstall windows and use Linux instead.

    This is not always the best solution.

    If the machine is from work or school you can’t simply install anything you want.

    Maybe the user has other programs/hardware that work only on windows and install Linux would cause more problems. I know you could use wine, virtual machines or other tricks but some stuff don’t work there.

    Sometimes the “just use linux”-advice is posted as a meme. A non tech savy person would not understand this meme and could feel they are not being taken serious.
