With the debate over #Microsoft #Windows vs #GNU #Linux raging on, I look at why Windows is unquestionably the top choice in the foreseeable in terms of ease, #accessibility, and #ethics. Noble as #FOSS advocacy is, can it really compete, especially among #women, going forward?
Some of you did not watch the video and it shows

@sophia I'm calling it now: one day the bait and switch is going to be the gnome instead of rick astley and everyone will be surprised
@sophia
Sorry, but I'm never gonna give Ubuntu up.
@sophia You are just plain evil. <3
@sophia oh come on, this is one is too obvious 
@grainloom @sophia but what if she's trolling US
@sophia you evil person
I love it
@sophia
Uff, especially the part about ethics got me to reconsider using #Microsoft #Windows. Would never have thought how bad #GNU #Linux actually ist from that standpoint.
@EorlBruder
You were really immersed in the topic! 
v 
@sophia
@sophia This is why you aren't allowed nice things.
@sophia
I totally disagree with the arguments of the video, especially around 30 sec
@sophia perfect 🏅.
i haven't been rolled in years! and with my laptop speakers on in the middle of a coffeeshop no less.
@sophia i love you sophia this is so helpful and educational, especially for someone like me who knows nothing about operating systems
@sophia
incredibly detailed fact checking, i am fully conviced now.
@sophia incredible
@sophia i actually like the song hahahhaah
@sophia You bet this video was edited on a windows machine.
@trickster how dare you it was android
@sophia Well, it's not windows, but it's the only good linux anyway.
@sophia saw it coming, clicked anyway, no regrets!
@sophia always the same arguments, over and over…
😉
@sophia : Rick BASHley ? 
@sophia what i should be mad over: being rickrolled
what i am mad over: the song isnt FUCKING COMPLETE
@sophia i truly welcomed this in my heart
(wailing)
0/10 no pabst dog
@sophia
I think the reason why #Microsoft #Windows is the first choice is mainly the support of hardware manufacturers, the education system that teach about the only viable choice and so on. There is a market structure is pointed to support Windows as the only option. That's a deniable true that ends in making a market that goes around it (making Main software only avaible on it).
@Jolt2bolt didn't click the video huh
@sophia
I've been rickrolled....🧐
@sophia have you considered putting a few seconds of actual content in at the start so it's a double bait-and-switch
@rick you always win with rick 
@rick best to roll with it
@sophia This is what "Boosts are not endorsement" is for.
@sophia and what if we love it?
@Vetra then it's odd but I'm down with it
@sophia some of us knew, in our hearts, what would be in the video from the moment it first appeared, and could not stop ourselves from alternately saluting and dabbing
@bryceyoungquist dab away, Bryce Youngquist. It is a deserving moment
@sophia
This video made my morning.
@sophia doesn't play for me :/
@sophia I feel like I have suffered enough, although.. I guess I'm never gonna give you up....
@sophia I click play just to make sure it is what I suspect it to be.
why windows? Just for playing some games that wine doesn't support
@astheroth watch the video.
@sophia I knew it, yet I still clicked
@TheEnbyperor I would give up playing these videos, but I wouldn't want to let @sophia down 🤷♂️
@bobstechsite @TheEnbyperor this is what makes this place wonderful, such community
@sophia Wow, with a guarantee like that, Windows is the best OS ever!
@sophia wow, never would have thought it like that...
@sophia
Does it count as a rickroll if you thought "never going to give you up" was the actual argument for Windows over Linux? To be fair, it's what has worked for the last 20 years.
Proud of you all for boosting this even tho you definitely hate it. Ily, that's friendship ❤
