I mean, just now I was talking about dual booting Linux and Windows, and they fight over the RTC, Linux wants UTC, Windows wants local time. It’s a line of bash to set Linux to use local time, it’s changing a registry key in Windows.
B) Hello windows using friend or relative, can I borrow your PC for 30 min? No? Ok…
C) Hey work IT man, so, I know this is dumb but I need to run a program called pkhex. Yeah it’s a hex editor specifically for pokemon hex files. Yeah I can get you anything on your cart. I can get you a legit Mew, even change your OT name from whatever you thought was cool in 1998. Ok so I need admin to download that real fast because I run Fedora, you bring your cart tomorrow and we can do this on lunch.
“I need quickbooks.”
Use the web version.
“Yea but that one sucks.”
They all suck. Use something else.
“There is nothing else. My account says quickbooks is all there is.”
He’s wrong.
“Well what am I supposed to do? People with money use quick books.”
No, people spend money to use quickbooks. You have an accountant. He can use quick books. You can use whatever you want.

“I can’t switch, there’s this one function of this one programme that I may need in the next 50 years.”
There’s a Linux app for that but the buttons are in different places
“They told me to type words into a black screen with green letters, and the mere suggestion burned down my house and killed my family.”
“But I am more happy to root around the registry and make changes to obscure variables that will be reverted in the next update”

You mean through a GUI?
Geez, I wonder why.
That man’s home address?
/dev/lp0Ah yeah that’s a bug. Should be a fix in a few days
No, it’s a feature.
Still needs a toggle. What is this? North Korea?
Ahem… I believe you mean BEST KOREA.

“There’s this obscure function in Excel that I know somebody who knows somebody who used it that won’t work in LibreOffice Calc”
I mean, you can keep putting up strawmen, but that is not going to convince anyone that Linux is superior.
You jest but the pain is real. Developing a Windows only software for work in a Windows only environment.
I:
A) Try Wine. No? Ok…

Huh, neat! Never seen this, how is it?
It’s VM based, so it’s perfect for niche applications that don’t work on Wine and don’t need GPU acceleration. That’s the only shortcoming.
Good to know, thanks!
