For my “convenience” and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait

Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

    PC people: Many of you are now realizing what “Windows as a Service” means. Your OS is harvesting every bit of your data and sending it back to the MS Mothership.

    And you’re kind enough to pony up the cash to supply the hardware for it to run on.

        Doesn’t detract from the point whatsoever. Exactly what the Linux fanboys were always made fun of for is what’s happening. It’s heading exactly where Stallman has always warned. (Edit: I’d argue it’s already arrived, actually.)

          What they’re made fun of for is never shutting up about how superior they are.

            i mean at this point it’s more of a collective disbelief that people continue to punch themselves in the stomach when it’s perfectly possible to simply not do so

              It doesn’t, but unless they’re a Mac user, and I don’t see them on Lemmy shitting on Windows all the time, there’s only one other option.

            This is like making fun of someone for getting into Harvard. I’m sure they’ll survive.

              Choosing to be a smug asshole is like getting in Harvard? Oh, yeah, I see your point.

        “Using Gentoo on 4 different architectures” bar is not here because other bars would be invisible if it was.

        See that’s the elephant in the room: you think it’s your personal computer. Microsoft thinks it’s their personal computer.

            I wanna make the jump to Linux. I worry about it but maybe there’s a good video tutorial somewhere on it.

              It’s something you should just try and not worry too much about. If things go wrong you can always go back to windows.

                Terminal is no more necessary than command prompt/power shell

                It’s rare that steam deck or android users use it

              Just pick any linux distro, burn the iso into a USB, and boot onto the USB and see how you like it from there
