IME the best way to avoid this experience is to just soften your language slightly and be willing to take the extra ten minutes to provide resources to people. "Switch to Linux" is a command, and people generally don't like being told what to do. "Have you considered switching to Linux? It doesn't have as many problems with [whatever] as Windows" with a link to a "Linux for noobs" type guide doesn't get the same response. And be willing to take "no" for an answer!
Fr, sometimes people get too angry about other people suggesting linux and use old as fuck stereotypes
i am tired of Windows bloatware and allat spyware, the microslop account
"Try Linux, it has none of that"
I don't want linux!! It's useless i don't want to write 300 commands to install something!! you loonix users are so annoying
Then why the fuck are you complaining about microslop being microslop 💔
I mean it's fair to vent here and there but I wonder if they concidered to troubleshoot their issue or write E-Mails or bug reports to Microslop first.
Well yeah i'm not saying you should do that and have never done that myself either lol. It did happen at the pcmasterrace subreddit though, which is funny cause it seems like these days i hear more of them complaining about people mentioning linux than there are actual people mentioning linux. I ended up muting the subreddit cause it got so annoying.

I've got a plethora of reasons!
This is pretty much what it feels like when you suggest this in the pcmasterrace subreddit or a windows community lol
in this case i'd say it' s a fair reaction, i would be angry too if someone in the linux community would say "just use BSD duh"
