Don't Be Mean Guys. It Can Backfire.

You know you've crossed a line when someone goes from Ubuntu to Windows. That's not just switching distros—that's a full nuclear option. Imagine being so insufferable about your "btw I use Arch" superiority complex that you literally drove someone to install an OS that comes with Candy Crush pre-installed. That's a war crime in the Linux community.

The clown makeup is appropriate because you played yourself. You didn't just lose a friend—you lost them to Windows. They'd rather deal with forced updates, telemetry, and the occasional blue screen than hear one more word from you. That's the kind of damage control you can't undo with a simple sudo apt-get install friendship.

Let this be a lesson: gatekeeping is a hell of a drug. Sometimes people just want their computer to work without compiling their own kernel.
