The insane windows hate on Lemmy is actually pushing me away from wanting to try Linux. Some of you are insufferable, like your entire personality is that you use Linux.
How can you tell someone is a Linux user?
Don’t worry they’ll tell you
I use windows 11 and I don’t see what all the hate is for. Maybe it’s cuz I use Pro, and click a couple of buttons to hide the “news”… but it seems perfectly fine to me.
And I’m a power user, with Linux experience.
ok power user. I’m sure you love all the extra steps it takes to do basic admin functions that used to be one click in 10. I’m sure you love the forced updates and constant addition of edge and search bars to your desktop. I’m sure you love all the privacy invasion and ads shoved into every corner of the OS.
Jesus, just take a moment to realize how insufferable you need to be to have people defend Windows. Privacy issues are the only valid argument at this point for Windows and a really good argument so just harp on it.
Edge isn’t a new concept, it’s just replaced IE. Also I don’t get the want to remove it entirely, try removing libcurl and see how functional Linux is for a daily driver. Just set Firefox as your default browser and call it a day, you’ll never see Edge again.
The search bar is one click to hide. Also several distros ship with a search bar.
Ads don’t appear with Windows Pro
Not really sure what setting you’re having trouble getting to, everything’s roughly the same between 7, 10, and 11 for power users.
Ahh yes. Typical Windows bad, linux good meme. When questioned why linux is better, the answer will be beating around the bush sort of it’s worth the months of tweaking to get the WiFi adapter to work. And it’s quite embarrassing to see all these guys who post abominations like this without knowing anything about debloating Windows and stripping the installation to make a perfect install without Microsoft bullshit. If Linux works for you, Good for you. If Windows works for you, Good for you. Get over it. This is cringe at this point.
Over the last few years I’ve installed various flavors of Linux on 4 random machines of different types. Haven’t had trouble with WiFi on any of them. I’ve barely used windows and had piles of trouble with it just about every time.
Cry about the post I guess?
I highly doubt that if you were given the actual choice you’d pick the one that could permanently dammage your eyes over using an annoying operating system.
This is just stupid.
Orally administered hot sauce is a temporary pain.
An unnecessary, half finished OS replacing a perfectly fine one just to save serve you adds is not.
