I prefer it too, but if something works well and saves me time and effort for $2, I don’t make a big deal out of it. I also need to accomplish things other than monkeying around with my computer.
not everyone buys prebuilts but I haven’t had any actual windows license since like windows 7 I just use a random key off a PC work is throwing out oh just don’t register the shit
There are more ways to make Windows suck less, even open source ones: https://feddit.de/comment/7447632 Of course, pick whatever is best for you, but FOSS is ultimately safer (and free!).
revives Explorer’s “commented-out code”, bringing back functionality from previous Windows versions: optionally translucent taskbar without blur, seconds display in calendar popup, optionally the weather widget and many many more
I’ve used them all (probably 20+ different OS’ in my lifetime), and they all have a place. I use Windows, MacOS, and Linux daily, each for what they are good at. Maybe people should use what works best for them?
Install this. You will thank me later.
No, thanks.
Open shell?
This is the way.
This is the way
… Coffee costs more than this license.
its very reasonable
There are free OS alternatives out there (which I suspect you already use but just want to poop on other’s parade).
I assume that if someone’s already using Windows, a paid OS, they are willing to pay $2 to make it usable.
I prefer if persistent, high-permission code running on my machine is FOSS, and support the devs if I see it’s useful

idk who pays for windows these days but go you
Almost everyone pays for Windows. Notice how computers that let you not include it in the order get cheaper.

It has had such a massive positive effect on my life relative to the price.
classic shell does the same thing for free I’ll pass
I did one better. I installed Linux
Goody for you

If it’s not a link to an Ubuntu LiveCD, I’m leaving Lemmy
Come on people I’m joking. You can unclench your butthills
Ditch Ubuntu too. Mint or OpenSuse are very good alternatives.
Not to mention sweet mother Debian.
Ubuntu server is fine relax
With how they keep shoving snaps at everyone? At my work a migration to Debian is starting to be openly pondered.
gnome is pushing flatpacks. the official gnome distro is immutable.
i like debian. i like gnome. i don’t like this trend.
I almost never interact with desktop Linux. That’s a horrifying trend.
We do not talk about ubuntu here
