No.
You get to break windows and get to freedom.
It’s wild you assume I even have windows.
Granted, mom’s basement usually doesn’t have any
Oof… 😂

You’re quite bold to assume that linux users haven’t built their houses with doors instead of windows.
Arches exclusively.
Oohh that’s good!
I’d think they’d be happy to exit windows
I compiled my own house so no windows to escape to. Actually it was never structurally sound
You could always
makeyour way outside.I bet it smells like shit in there though
I keep my shit containerized, no code smells here. Except that one time when a kernel panic annihilated my 2nd floor
It’s ok, I’ll use the arch
Watch out for the bleeding edge.
Then afterwards you can summon the archmage to fix things 👍
Nah, it’s fine. The Windows are made out of WINE bottles.
Yes, my house is on fire right now and I’ve suddenly turned into a penguin
Noot Noot!
frantically tries to install Wine
Oh please… Real Linux users know how to ESC in any situation. Even vim!
I was under the impression that there was no escaping vim, or is that vi?
We rather make a deal with a daemon.
rm -fr /fire
Remove French fire!!!

I very much doubt their house even has windows so this seems incredibly untrue.
More impressive they set an igloo on fire.
Must have been a dependency maintained by some guy living in a hut in Eastern Europe.
My social circles are filled with Linux / Unix die hards… and most of them are engineers first, pragmatists second, and linux just fills the philosophy.
They ALL, each and every one, have windows available to them (or macos). If nothing else then dual booting, for games, for family, etc. (Some may deny it, but if you really dig into it, they have the ability… or a VM laying around, for those one offs, oh its for Work ™ so it doesn’t count).
The online Linux or Die is a very vocal, but niche viewpoint that I never encounter in real life.
This is nonsense. I–and a great many other Linux users–don’t have a Windows partition on any of their computers.
My kids were given Windows laptops for school but that’s the only Windows in the house. For work I just login to a virtual Windows desktop (though honestly I’d work much more efficiently if I had a Linux desktop) 🤷
oh its for Work ™ so it doesn’t count.
Well, I got a windows laptop from work and didn’t have a say about it. I don’t do anything private on it. Does that really count?
It’s totally fine. I’m a pro Linux guy myself. Well pro BSD really. It’s just some of the technical topics we discuss on Lemmy, have some very unhelpful people pop out of the woodwork, and just say don’t use windows at all. Without addressing the topic at hand. That’s a little tiresome for me.
Imo it’s not as tiring as the amount of people popping into Linux communities to tell Linux users they have to use windows…
I was planning to write, “I only use Linux on my computers”, while that is technically correct, I also have a few Windows VM’s and my partners PC is running windows, that came in handy when my Samsung laser printer forgot it’s network settings.
So I can as well admit it, I am: Engineer first, Pragmatist second, and Linux is a good caulk for the rest.
Guess I’m the exception - no way to access Windows currently. I used to have a VM, but I recently switched to a new system and I’m too dumb/lazy to figure out how to make a Windows VM there. Luckily I only used it for Photoshop which I don’t need that often.
You have to be a pragmatist first convenience second kind of person thats willing to truly commit to a philosophy at the cost of other things. This kind of person is uncommon, most just want their computers to work and do the thing they want and don’t care about things like microsoft treating them like garbage with forced apps, os level spyware, and forced windows updates for ‘security’. If a few of your favorite multiplayer games don’t work on linux, most will stick with windows because they don’t want to give up their social escapism. Some people do actually say ‘nah, you can keep em’ and nuke windows anyways.
