      Linux Breaks

      1. Find Linux Live USB (5 minutes)

      You know both of these are easy to find on the internet, right? Why the 55 minute discrepancy? Is Microsoft throttling your download?

      Install Windows updates (8 hours)

      I guess they are throttling your downloads. What did you do to piss them off?

      Separate /home partitions are a godsend.

      And easy to do in windows if you care to spend a few minutes. People praise Linux because it’s customizable then bitch about windows forcing them to customize.

      There are so many legitimate things to whine about in windows. It kills me to see people lash out in ignorance and just hardcore make shit up
