Microsoft recommends you remain ignorant about how awesome Linux is.

Username doesn’t check out. Angry alright, but nothing autistic here, just your average boomer-level rage.

Linux sounds good but I never see it discussed on this website. How am I suppose to use Arch if nobody else does?

Ppl that still use Windows even after all this shit has been rammed down their throats will not have a good time on Linux. You still need to be able to do basic trouble shooting. I installed win 11 a few months back and it took me three tries on installation to get all the garbage out of it.

I think the best bet is an entirely new system from the ground up that has an open architecture that every company can equally implement that from the ground up and is as simple as possible. Like the computers we had in the 80s, but with better graphics. You want to play a game, you boot into it and it’s the only thing running. No anti cheat needed.

Yeah no thanks, a PC that can only run one program at a time? that’s just a console but worse lol. almost entirely useless as a computer.

This keeps getting said by people who don’t understand operating systems. Even if you build something from the ground up, you still end up with an operating system very much like Linux and Windows. The choices that were made for each OS were not random. The principles of I/O, user input, graphics display, filesystems, etc, are more or less universal concepts across all OSes.

What you will accomplish is making an OS that no one will use. Linux, Windows, and macOS already fill every market that can be filled. Microsoft tried to become a third player in the mobile market and their product died pretty quickly.

Google has been trying to build Fuschia into a new OS and they’ve asked back their ambitions (from what I recall reading).

As long as you tell everyone you use it. That’s what counts.

I use EndeavourOS. I know quite a bit about Arch, the only thing I don’t really know how to do is install it manually.

If only someone was here to tell me something by the way, it arches my back not knowing.

Rejoice. I’ve installed Arch on my home PC a few days ago. Haven’t booted Windows since.

You’re on the wrong part of the Internet for that. Try Facebook or Instagram to learn more about Arch Linux.

… And FreeBSD! Hardware support is rather fine except for wifi, and that can be set up using wifibox packages (technically it’s running a lean Linux VM with wi-fi passthrough, but by today’s measure the footprint is negligible).

So clean, orderly and patient.

I can’t use facts and logic on what is optimized for what, but it feels more responsive than Linux too, with the same desktop setup. I guess Linux with a different scheduler would solve that.
