“Solutions” that have already been dismissed as being impossible to do are not solutions.
Installing Linux on a work computer is not possible since you don’t own the machine and it runs proprietary company software that just doesn’t work on Linux.
Have you considered that complaining was a solution? It makes people feel a little better to talk about things that bother them. I think this matters a lot more to you than other people. Why completely switch operating systems if a bit of venting is all you need? Who’s gonna go through that trouble? The reaction everyone is having is as though battered sobbing windows users come crying and begging for help because their computers beat them. It’s really not that deep. Not to them at least. None of this has been a normal response to someone saying sometimes they want to complain about a minor problem they face. There are people saying “I’m not your therapist” as if someone saying they don’t like their OS is practically treating them like a therapist. Maybe we can all be a little bit nicer to each other? I thought people on Lemmy were more or less on the same side of things but everyone seems to treat each other like an enemy here too. It is beyond disappointing
And in turn people are allowed to suggest solutions for your complaints
