I can't agree more with you. I know multiple people that keep complaining about windows and Chrome and yet they seem to have no interest in even trying Firefox or Linux.
It totally has abusive relationship vibes. It's like they are being captured by convenience, learning something new being too much of an asshle to them.
They also like to take jabs at me for using Linux, but then their jaws drop when I transfer a file to a server in one second using `scp` while it takes them about 20 clicks with their windows GUI...
The man I worked with couldn’t deploy a VPN. He didn’t know how, literally! And he couldn’t just plainly say ‘hey, really, I don’t know how to do that.’ They have a static IP in the office, so you don’t even need any tunnel for it to work. It’s like one day job for me, but I’m not helping as it’s not _my_ job at the moment. Not that they need that VPN in there, it would just be convenient. The man does daily backups manually, with some fancy Windows GUI tool, which he probably pirated. It’s like, come on, an rsync command and a bash script. Really, I can go on and on and on, but those of us who worked with these people just know these stories, and the die-hard Windows weirdos probably won’t even understand what an rsync is.
