USE LINUX
Jesus fuck...
Lol it's everywhere here
For good reason, made the switch around the same time joining lemmy and haven’t looked back.
prep a live usb and try a few different window managers on whatever distro you align with, (hearing lime is easiest for beginners) youl know when you arrived home.
For me that was here
That was not even the longest winded "I use Arch btw."
If you hate learning useful life skills, don't use Linux! I use Arch BTW. 😉
Yeah I also switched because of here and longtime frustration with windows.
Nice dots!
News just in, Jesus Christ fucks for Linux. News at 5
I'll buy that for a dollar
That’s a spicy meat-a-ball!
c'mon man knock it off

You've gotta let FrankTheHealer shout from the rooftops. He has windows to heal
Normally I'm cool with all the suggestions to use Linux when Windows is making itself worse. It provides a FOSS alternative that avoids the new anti-feature.
But this is not an attack on Windows. Linux has startup apps as well.
Linux apps generally don't ask for this permission unnecessarily though. I remember back when I used windows everything I installed was bundling its own update manager that runs at startup etc.
Laughs in portage/zypper/apt/pacman
I wonder if you could integrate pacman into Gentoo. What a beautiful monstrosity it would be!
Or paludis
I've never had any startup apps (Linux mint)
KDE starts whatever was left open on my distro, and that did cause issues with apps that minimize on close, but I learned to close from taskbar and I understand why those apps do that. I actually had a harder time getting my vpn to start on startup
It's okay if you want to click things all the time
So what, when you turn on your computer it goes straight to the BIOS menu?
Nope you need systemd or something else to start them as far as I know.
How about no
WE HEARD YOU.
Ow, would you all stop screaming already? It is hurting my ears. 🙁
This is such an own goal it's almost a meme at this point.
You know why Linux doesn't have this shit? Because it hasn't attracted the ire of the marketing team. Do you know why that is? Because the fraction of target users using Linux is TINY. It's not worth the expensive engineering effort, especially when you consider the demographic using Linux is unlikely to fall for this shit.
The more you win the "use linux" argument, the more the argument won't make sense. The day Linux gets enough user share to justify it, is the day all this shit starts happening on Linux.
Also it's much easier to disable on Linux and not every distro uses the same program to start apps on boot so most annoying programmes can't find it. Discord (which I would ideally move away from if my friends didn't use it) certainly thinks it's enabled on startup somehow.
Windows seems to start some startup apps before you log in also worries me as that means malware could start before you are able to remove it and I don't know how to reach tty mode before reaching a gui so yeah...
They hated him because he spoke the truth
Gnutard
He didn't even /anything with his Linux. I think that charge is incorrect
Nope
