You Linux supremecists are so edgy...
I use Linux sometimes, too... But like... This shit is getting so old.
We get it, you like Linux. Now let people talk about other platforms without constantly talking about your platform.
It's good, but you can't know for sure if you removed all bloatware. Also if you install updates you can easily miss newly added ones.
Windows is like Reddit. There is more content and users, but we use Lemmy for a reason. So I'm not surprised that many people joke about GNU/Linux in this thread. GNU/Linux is not for everyone, but so do Lemmy.
Same. I recently built a new machine and considered putting win10 on it instead of 11 due to all the complaints I’ve read. Instead, I just went with 11 to give it a try. After install it took me about an hour, but I had all recommendations, ads, and other annoyances turned off. After that setup, I’ve really liked the OS. Everything just works. Plug in new hardware and it just works. Download some random new software and it just works.
I say this as a software engineer that works with Linux systems daily.
For my personal use, I want my pc to just work. I spend enough time configuring and making things work at my job, I want my home pc to be no hassle and to work with everything I throw at it.
For this, windows is, by far, the best.
Photoshop works in Fedora ;)
I hope you've got backup solution if Windows ever prevents you from working.
It must be important if you're prioritizing it over your software freedom..
Hopefully a reinstall is the most you ever need and there is no chance Microsoft would ever happen to make changes that shaft you.
Software freedom is about being in control over your own computing. If being in control of your research and the results is important then I think it should be important to you too.
I consider myself like a smoker telling you smoking causes cancer in regards to my use of proprietary software. I am proud of the efforts I've made over the years to reduce using proprietary software.
Last time I used Linux it came with its own bag of problems like hunting down drivers and incompatibility issues and random bugs that wouldn't let me use the wifi without digging up solutions in some obscure forum. Maybe it's not the case anymore but I don't hear many people lauding it for its competitive UX and ease of use.
I hope so! Nothing against Linux but it did feel a bit like a raw steak at times 😅
You do realize you're posting this on a opensource platform, which runs on Linux, and is maintained by volunteers who are enthusiastic about this stuff?
If you don't like all the Linux talk here, feel free to move to a proprietary platform instead, maybe one with a red alien logo...
Honestly, your bitching was far more intrusive than this unharmful joke. That joke was actually funny.
You're either being intellectually disingenuous, or you're new to Lemmy. Every goddamn thread about Windows here ends up littered with "jokes" about how great Linux is, and how shitty Windows is.
It's beyond exhausting at this point.
And the goddamn distros can’t even support a fingerprint reader nor a nvidia card, or forces you to do some terminal voodoo to make the thing work, or crashes without warning after an update.
But somehow that’s better than Windows. -_-
I just want a PC that works and linux ain't it hun
Too bad?
I don't get why you're offended by someone jokingly pushing Linux?
To be fair, there are so many opportunities to make these jokes because of how Microsoft behaves that maybe that's the real issue here?
It doesn't look like they're getting offended to me.
Imagine you have a friend that you see daily. Every time you see them, they make the same joke. How quickly do you think you'll get tired of the joke?
Everyone here makes the joke only once. But you have many friends here!
Stop driving into things, Jerry, and we'll stop making jokes about how you hit them!
I mean... Linux does solve the problem described. Why pay for a platform with the problem when the solution is free?
You think i'm paying for windows?
Let just say you don't pay... with money.
Most people who think Windows came with the computer for free don't know that the licence cost is baked into the total cost.
In Soviet Russia, Windows crash you!
People like you make me so fucking embarrassed to be a Linux user.
So you're claiming that all of Lemmy is a Linux only community?
