    Always funny how anyone is crucified (on Lemmy) for using Windows or (how dare you) paid and/or free proprietary software.

    Yet when it comes to something like Plex they always backpedal and either state that they don’t have something like that or it’s so convenient.
    If one goes on a (F)OSS crusade at least be consistent… >:(

      for using Windows

      Has a time and place… But for the general person you can just put them in front of linux and they wouldn’t have any idea as long as they can see the chrome icon to get to facebook.

      I can see that side of the discussion… Getting over the roadblock of installation… I’ve converted many people to Linux. My argument with people defending windows is that they always seem to think that “windows just works”… which it really doesn’t… or that linux sucks because of x, y, and z… and when I pull out a news article of windows having widespread issues because of “x” where x is literally the same x as they just said for linux… It’s cricket chirps all around.

      Plex is convenient. It’s userbase is proof of that. Windows is convenient in that it comes pre-installed on the computer the user is using… but otherwise a user would be perfectly fine or even possibly have less issues on linux.

      I don’t find that to be inconsistent.
