The obsession with Linux and privacy. Every post it seems like anyone using windows is committing a cardinal sin. I have had to use linux in the past, and let me tell you, I don’t intend to go back to it unless forced to. I still have mental scars of trying to update my gpu drivers
This! I use Linux on my laptop but also have a desktop that runs Windows 10. Some people here act like windows is completely unusable when in reality it’s much more user friendly than Linux.
You have a computer made after 2015, huh?
Some of us are poor. Windows is quite literally unusable for me because the laptop I have it on can’t make it past the “pin” screen, I had a choice between steal a new PC or learn linux.
And now that I’ve learned I can never go back, there was a slight adjustment period but the ability to control everything on the system, the way it handles updates, the lack of bullshittery and candy crush ads, and ads in the file manager I hear they’re pushing now on windows, the terminal which scared me when I started is now probably my most frequently used “app,” the few windows only programs I need with no alts work in wine well enough, and if I reaaaaally wanted to I could upgrade PCs when I do have money and dual boot so I can still pop into windows if need be. And to top that, I was able to boot into a liveusb on the windows pc, mount the windows drive (bypassing my pin, btw) and rescue my files!
That’s great! I’m glad you found something that works for you. Like I said, my laptop is running Linux (Arch btw) and I’ve had fun learning a new OS and I do enjoy the lack of bloatware.
I guess what I meant to say is that people act like windows is unusable, as in, they can’t figure out how to use the OS like it’s something very complex.
