No problem here, destroying Windows is in our second nature.

That also looks like me on the rare occasion my laptop will randomly go from whatever brightness I set to maximum brightness with no way to change it back manually. Still have no clue why it happens, but at least I can put my laptop to sleep and fix the problem.

Well, to be fair, Windows will refuse to open before like fifteen updates so your fate is sealed regardless.

No leaving before you git push, you'd better start working on those merge conflicts!

You should be working on your own branch anyway.

Well, it started out as a basic windowing system for DOS, so...

Yeah Microsoft Graphical Boxes makes some sense I suppose. Windows? No, sorry they are not windows.

Why not paintings, canvas, boards, or any other much more logical name. This is some stupid decision by a marketing department.

Windows are not the problem.

Microsoft Windows' legal restrictions and source-unavailablity is the problem.

Do not confuse the two.

Windows are important for GNU+Linux users too.

As in: "Never trust a computer you cannot defenestrate."

Like if it catches fire. Better to throw it out a window, than let the house catch fire.

What a weird take. Windows in GUIs were a thing years before Microsoft made theirs. It followed white logically from Microsoft DOS. There were several other operating systems called something with DOS at the time, PC-DOS, Novell DOS, and others.

While not a very creative name, it was pretty self explanatory as to its major feature.

Talk about bad names for an operating system, IBM‘s OS/2 is far worse.

That is nonsense, I did look it up and it was a last minute marketing decision. Found the guy that likes Winblows!
