    God lemmy is always complaining about microsoft. Just use a controller if mouse and keyboard don’t work. If you don’t have a controller just use checks USB HID spec a magic carpet.

    WiFi not working? Just use ethernet?

    No WSL 2? Just install linux. Oh…

    I use Arch (btw), I break my own stuff whenever I want, keep up Microsoft.

    Secretly in love with AUR and a masochist.

    Oh… So that’s why I bluescreened yesterday. Or at least, that’s what I hope happened, I really don’t wanna find out what else it could be

    Steer clear of Windows if you’re not into nearly every bad thing in existence.

    Fixed that for you.

    This is why I’m always a few versions out of date, ever since they started bricking computers via Windows update. Keeps me clear of their horrifying AI and additional telemetry and adware “enhancements” too.

      Don’t worry, Microsoft has been working hard to port all of the worst things from windows 11 into 10.

      Windows 10 gang here. If I wait a few years I’m sure 11 will be usable by the time 10 support ends.

      Same with buying pc games.

        Whatever is after 11 should be decent if the rule to skip every other windows holds up. I’m… Not as optimistic as I once was, but time will tell.

    Finally I’m early enough to the thread where I can reccomend people use Fedora or Mint like a normal person and not shitty Ubuntu or furry infected Arch.

    Oh and also windows insider hub can get screwed lmao

      We’re all against Windows. Fighting amongst ourselves is just gonna turn more people off Linux which is the opposite of what we want. If you’re trying to get people to switch, the last thing you should do is shame them immediately afterward. They’ll just go back to Windows where there’s less of a stigma.

        I did before I switched to Fedora because I wanted something with updated packages lol.

        The Arch complaint was a joke, but the hatred for Ubuntu is real.

        First distro I tried and it made me think Linux was a broken mess. Turns out it was just Canonical screwing around.

          Debian and Ubuntu derivatives will not install, or if they do they wont boot, on one of machines…due to some weird bug issue thst other distros acknowledge and bypass. Had that been my first experience of linux I would hate it. Thankfully RPM based was my first experience and the hardware had no issues.
