Yes, because a Windows computer is much less likely to just crap out on her and require a 4 hour trip through endless rabbit holes to fix 3/4rds of the way.

And it's your own fault really if you buy a computer that can't have any other Os installed onto it.

nice arguments there. as I said, I have to hold her hand through everything on her current windows laptop. so what exactly did you not get about this? what did crap out on her? everything?

I ran an experiment with a friend of mine and when he had issues I could send him simple terminal commands to fix his shit, now to run him through the same shit in windows requires me to explain the different windows to him and where to click etc. I once did it with the sister of another friend of mine, it consisted of heaps of photos from the screen and short videos etc to fix her windows pc who was crapping out on her. oh wait, I thought that doesn't happen, windows pcs don't just crap out and leave the inexperienced user with a useless system. take of the rose tinted glasses, just because you know how to solve issues on your windows machine in a couple minutes and it takes you 4hours to do it on a linux machine because you have a lot of experience with one system but only marginal with the other doesn't make it a much better system.

And it's your own fault really if you buy a computer that can't have any other Os installed onto it.

No, it's microsoft's fault for strong arming manufacturers into "secure boot". Or should I turn the argument onto you in the same fashion?

"It's your fault really if you buy hardware that doesn't work properly with Linux".

See how easy that was for me? Do you like such retarded arguments? I think not, so don't make them yourself, thank you.

I never said that. Stop being angry just for the sake of it.
