Windows Defenders

from an design point of view, i get why some people wanna use windows. UNIX is not the end all be all of operating systems (rather far from it), and it has a plethora of flaws and failures that contribute to people moving away from it. for one, windows has an actual API, which UNIX does not (but some derivative works do), and why wouldn't someone want a consistent API, its productive, consistent and centralised. modern UNIX variations, such as the BSD's, have an enormous lack of features, i know some concepts like port trees and particular software design patterns do come from the BSD world, but features are usually not exclusive or dependent on BSD and can be emulated on Windows (git submodules and writing better software, respectively). additionally, the Windows ecosystem (.NET, visual studio, vba/f#/c#/c++, direct X*), as far as im aware, are fairly productive on Windows and aren't as overtly "bloated bullshit" either, however i cannot personally atest to this as my knowledge of Windows comes from an external point of view and developing software for Windows outside of the operating system

i would buy a copy of Windows and use it unapologetically in the same way i would any other software i want to play around with, and i don't think there is anything wrong with that...

being hateful over an operating system is petty shit, you disuade people from ever touching UNIX by coming of as aggressive, coercive and demeaning and attacking them for their preferences... you do not have moral superiority because you use FOSS software and run a UNIX box, elitism is what kills the UNIX community
