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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.
