I don’t think so, no.
I feel like people put a lot more stock in downvotes than is really necessary or intended. It’s nothing personal.
Also it feels very weird to get called out like that for something so trivial. Let alone directly insulted (by the parent reply, not by you.)
I like to think I’m not. On the other hand if those are the only two options I guess I must be?
That other person though… seems to be wildly bent out of shape over a downvote on someone else’s comment. I show they deleted their other comment now but: definitely an asshole.
Anyway, since we’re this deep into the convo, might as well explain: the downvote was mostly about someone still dual-booting Windows at this point. That was not at all articulated by a simple swipe to downvote, but a lot quicker and easier (or not, in retrospect). Does that make me an asshole? Maybe; if so, I’ll take that hit to my little reputation and move on.
In the interest of continuing the conversation though, I’ll ask… what draws you to keep it around? My experience when I was dual booting was that before long I found myself not booting windows for a year or two. When I did [around the time of the transition from 7 to 10], it just caused extra hassle with things updating and breaking. And the last couple of games I had “needed” it for began working fine in Linux. So I reclaimed the space, and haven’t missed it as windows 11 enshittified further and Microsoft went all in on vibe coding slop.
