Switch to Linux!

No. That is your perspective to a situation. That is not fact. Stop valueing your own voice so highly. You start to forget you can be wrong.
Listen, if you don't like what I have to say, don't read my comments, block me or stop replying or something, but I'm not going to shut myself up to please some random twerp like you.
Listen I'm all for Linux and use it myself, but this is not the way to get people to switch. Even I'm starting to get annoyed by all the answers in these threads being "Just switch to Linux, there are definitely no problems and it's a 1:1 workflow." (Yes, hyperbole. But you get the idea.) If a user has an issue and does not want, or cannot, switch to Linux, then Linux is not the solution.
You're not wrong. They're still stuck in the "abusive relationship" with MS. In fact you're absolutely right. But trying to push Linux onto these people like this only results in their view of Linux getting worse, and makes them more likely to stay on Windows to avoid the insufferable Linux users. It's coming from a good place, but it's honestly not helping. Every solution needs to consider the user's use case and their parameters, or else it doesn't matter. In the end what you're saying is not wrong at all, but you're still not offering the right solution.
Exactly. The only abusive relationship is their view towards users who will not accept their solution as gospel.
I have a way for you both:
Give two solutions, one short-term and second long-term.
I'm not a Windows user, and certainly not a Windows expert. Why should I have to provide solutions to Windows problems? I use Linux so that I don't have to bother with that shit.
Then don't bother and don't give a solution. Or at least say "I don't know if there is a short-term solution in a form of simple switch, but I know if we switch from Windows in long-term there won't br such problems ever again".
Again, I'm not going to silence or censor myself for some random internet bully like you. Who the fuck are you to say what kind of advise I can and cannot give? Get lost.
You're right, sorry for that. This is what I would give as an advice, you can give whatever advice you like, I shouldn't write this in such imperative form.
Well even so you're barking up the wrong tree. Read my comment history: I never gave anyone the personal advise to switch to Linux, because honestly I don't care about what anyone uses, and frankly I dislike Windows users coming over to Linux forums expecting everything to be the same as Windows under a different name and complaining when it isn't. I was merely explaining why people are giving that advise.
