I still like this meme

Someone clearly hasn't heard of dependency hell.

I'll say it once, I'll say it forever: Windows has better backward compatibility, period. Even compared to linux. Rebuilding an old open source linux app to work on a modern distro can be done, but it's a process that could take hours or days. And if you don't have the source code you're shit out of luck. Have fun getting that binary built against a 1 year old version of glibc to work. This, incidentally is what things like flatpak, docker and ubuntu's nonsense competitor to both (of which our hatred is entirely rational no really stop laughing) are trying to solve.

Meanwhile microsoft office still handles leap years wrong because it might break backwards compatibility with old documents. Binaries built for windows xp will usually just work on windows 11. Packages built for ubuntu 22.0 often won't run on ubuntu 23.0. You never notice this because linux are a culture of recompilers. Rebuilding every last package once a month is just how some distros roll. But that's not backwards compatibility, that's ongoing maintenance.

"I can't delete bloatware" - all 3 of them

My favourite thing about updates on my work Mac is when you say 'try in one hour' thinking it'll ask you then an hour later it aggressively closes your programs. I use Linux, Mac and Windows regularly and Mac has by far the worst update experience out of all of them imo.

You can also remove the fr*nch language pack via rm -fr /

But in all seriosity, i tried to install Linux dual-boot with Windows on my dad's computer last weekend, and it broke the windows install because it doesn't support bitlocker (apparently). Maybe i could have gotten it to work, but i abandoned the project after the first failed attempt. Still a bit salty about that. Especially since it was meant to be a demonstration how "quick and easy" installing Linux nowadays supposedly is.

Linux: i can't stop dumb users (me) completely destroying everything with a bad console command

Linux: I can't stop you.

Installing old Linux applications IS a problem. They're available only if someone repackaged them for newer distros. If not they can't run anymore because of dependencies mismatch.

I can’t remember the original version of the comic, what does each one of them say?

I find it hilarious that the first architecture change in 10 years, that happened seven years ago, still causes anxiety and pain for people who don’t even use that operating system and probably never did.

I wonder how much Linux usership is owed to people being completely incapable of dealing with a minor inconvenience they once encountered (or only saw a meme about) on an apple product.

The sun puts out less energy than is wasted by people hating on Apple for completely and utterly irrational reasons.

Android hate not tolerated. Android can delete system apps, if you aee root. On linux you can"t install or uninstall anything if you are not root

You can totally stop updates on Windows. Fully off. They don't offer good options for updating on demand on your own schedule, but you can disable updates entirely and for pro and enterprise skus you can use GPO for additional delay options.

have you like

ever actually tried installing an old app on linux
or accidentally had a power outage during an update

it literally can't update without breaking and can't install old apps lol

The apps aren't supported

I was trying to delete a KDE program that I'll never use, but Discover seemed to want to remove the whole pile of KDE Apps. I'm sure there's a way.
