Except for the part where tons of people are up in arms because MS removes or changes their UI. Fisher price, new control panel (XP), vista, UAC, start menu search, ads, mandatory logins, new control panel (8/10/11), new inflexible taskbar and so on
Except for the part where all of those people are Linux users who complain about Windows as a hobby, and have no effect on the relative market shares of Linux/Windows because they would never switch back to Windows under any circumstances.
"Everyone complaining about Windows changes are Windows-hating Linuxers" is only the second most insane take here after the dude upthread claiming everyone who complains about no thumbnails in Gnome's file picker is a Nazi.
You're right, I should clarify. I don't think that everyone complaining about Windows changes are Windows-hating Linuxers. Rather, I think that the majority of people complaining about Windows changes are Windows-hating Linuxers. I'd love to be proven wrong, however, because believing this is somewhat soul-crushing.
