Have to use Windows for work (I’ve asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification… That’s clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

      @blkpws @JJROKCZ the terminal in Linux is vastly superior to the neutered one in windows. It is fun to use. Windows was such a pain

        Fun is not the intention of a workplace and the majority of the workforce doesn’t have need of terminal use for their job. Windows properly controlled with group policy works well for the majority of the workforce, hence why it has a dominant market share

      And that’s great, the extreme minority of the human workforce that is doing programming is free to use Linux if they want. That doesn’t change the fact that windows is the best option for the majority of the worlds workers so long as an it department makes half a dozen settings changes via group policy.

      Karen in accounting doesn’t need a customizable kernel or a terminal that allows unfettered control of the OS, she just needs her excel macros and pivot tables to function so she do brain dead spreadsheets 9 hours a day.
