You can remove Windows completely from your life with very little effort, no matter where you live and it's free! In the world of today there is no need whatsoever for that exploitive and in short bad OS anymore.
This comment is so out of touch.
I work in CAD and 3D printing and I'd be completely dead in the water if I used Linux.
No fusion 360, no cura
I bet there are plenty of other apps that I rely on that are not available on Linux.
I'm not some sort of Windows fanboy either. I'm disgusted with their action in the recent years.
I run Linux on my home server, but not my main computing machine
Let's be realistic here, your experience is not universal
Agreed, I hate how people blindly use Windows because "that's what my shitty HP laptop shipped with"
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.
your platform.
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 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?
I mean... Linux does solve the problem described. Why pay for a platform with the problem when the solution is free?
Was half-expecting Rick Astley ngl
This needs to happen with Appl too. AppleTV/Safari/Messages/etc app for MacOS + SIP my ass. Its not integral and if you've made it so you need to unmake it so, along with other bundled crap. SIP should literally refer to that and only that in aggregate which is necessary to ensure the system is able to function, not per se function in an un-overruleable way for the maker.
Wait Windows users are allowed to manage their software ?!? Get out of town.
As a certified windows user, can confirm, I do not have free will to install anything
Way too late...I switched away from Windows 100% already. Linux works perfectly fine.
Why is this a topic at all? Don't you own your machine?
I'm surprised I own my shoes at this point. Any tech bros wanna take care of that with an app?
Or just use Bulk Crap Uninstaller
I just bulk crap uninstalled windows and moved to Linux
Linux users truly are the vegans of the tech world.
They seriously cannot stop talking about Linux... At this point, It's endlessly annoying, as it's on literally every post about any operating system.
Nearly every post is about Windows or MacOS yet when someone mentions Linux suddenly it's a problem?
In both cases, I've encountered a lot more people complaining about them than I have obnoxious Linux users or vegans
Ain't that the truth
Does this also impact Apple, will they also need to allow removing Safari? If yes, is it possible that they might allow removing other things like iMessage and Apple TV?
If even MS themselves calls it "benefits", why not enable it for all by default?
Because fuck you.
