Windows 7 was really the last good windows.

Windows 10 was when I switched fully to Linux in my personal life. Windows 11 is far, far worse.

In a work setting, when the admins give it a short leash…it’s bearable. But aside from proprietary software i don’t understand why people choose to use windows.

I don’t think I’m being patronizing here. If anything, it’s the computer that’s being patronizing.

I recently had to spin up a Fedora VM and a Win 11 VM, simultaneously, from ISO. Guess which one required more interaction. Guess which one was quicker from “Boot from CD” to “functional web browser”. Whatever metric you want…clicks, words on the screen (even excluding EULAs to be fairer), pages, time, whatever. Fedora was a much smoother and faster experience

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:
