I hate that windows is like that bc I hate that mac is the only option for an OS that doesn't try to show you clickbait or ads or spam all the time and also doesn't require you to be good at the computer to use it (do not tell me to use linux. I used to and I don't like it anymore)

I literally am considering getting a macbook and at this point my only reason for not doing it (other than that I don't need it yet, I want a big ipad more, and that Me Love Trackpoint) is that I hate the feeling of only having one good option and it makes me vehemently not want to go for it. idk why i'm like this

Yeah, I get that 100%. Like, it's nice to feel like you're making a choice because of something they did, not something they didn't do?

or just to feel like I HAVE a choice... I don't wish there were TWO good operating systems for normal people [if windows was good], I wish there were more... [if windows was good and something else was also good, for normal people]

What didn't you like about linux? If it's been a while since you last used it, it's gotten a lot more stable and easier to use within the last few years with KDE

I almost put Linux on my newest laptop, did a ton of research, was ready to be A Computer-y Person, but i found out Discord for Linux lacks a crucial feature which makes streaming + talking to friends possible, which is like 80% of my recreational computer usage. Thats not necessarily Linux's fault but it is what it is--like, not only are you having to Know Things to get Linux set up, but also every piece of software not developed For Linux is liable to have random holes in functionality, if it runs at all. Why use limited resources making your program work in an OS that is used by such a tiny fraction of the market? Anyway, all that to say, it sucks that there is only one option with good user experience. It is honestly offensive to my spirit and i understand not wanting to cave to percieved pressure, even if it seems irrational
