I was bored at work so chatted with Microsoft support about this.
Summary of funny part
Me: no, it's an advertisement, asking me to try a Microsoft product. The ad came through my message tray. I have all ad services turned off.
Them: that's not an ad, that's recommendation for a better service
Me: are you aware that you just described an advertisement?
Them: yes.
They're so annoying! I can't stand that company!
i wish i didnt dislike linux or mac so much also im a gamer so windows is a necessity (but u can game on linux? i play valorant exclusively at this point which isnt linux support afaik)
and no there isn't a linux distro i might like and if there is i can find it myself linux people are so damn annoying.
Gaming on Linux works quite well. I haven't found a game that didn't work, but I haven't played them all, so I'm sure at least one exists. Also, there absolutely is a Linux distro you would like, but it's irrelevant if you're happy on windows. We have a choice of OS, which is a beautiful thing. Lastly, Linux people aren't "so damn annoying" in the least bit. Stubborn people are, but Linux folks don't tend to be overly stubborn, I've noticed.
E: also, my meme had nothing to do with Linux at all. It's about being annoyed with ads within windows.
Hmm they've been really patient and helpful with me so far
They probably have to recite a standard company line, gritting their teeth as you both know it's bullshit.
I don't envy customer service reps. Most of them probably didn't apply for the job because they love Microsoft or enjoy the prospect of fielding frustrated customers' calls.
