Right, like they all have a point to a degree but really just need a little more info and put bias aside to focus on what each system does well and just connect the dots to the most appropriate to their use case.

But then that requires social interaction, and having enough emotional maturity for putting aside personal biases. Two things on a relatively short list of things Linux doesn’t usually do well at.

The fanboying to the point of blinders is maddening to deal with among Linux users.

I don’t have issue with Ubuntu personally. I still prefer Zorin over it though. It’s a really nice “transition from windows” type distro and not as bloaty as Ubuntu.

Win+x, a, left, enter. Admin power shell in a quick combo.

But I also get what you are saying. I’m leaving windows because of this. Migrating my services ATM then the last thing will be my win10 desktop.

You aren’t alone. I also refuse to install apps like that. I also really hate it when companies don’t have the option to not store my card or personal information.

And yet I know which I trust more…

Yeah, I wouldn’t doubt that at all. Google is turning into a garbage heap

That’s weird, I don’t run into any age restrictions

Update yt-dlp maybe? Yt works just fine. Haven’t tried freetube. It’s just a bit from “That 70s Show”

Lmao gotcha. I won’t worry about it then. Currently distro shopping. 🙂

I keep seeing this sentiment, what’s wrong with systemd?

I’ve enjoyed JetBrains over either so far.

Depends on context. Most of the time it’s just a confirmation. You are reading your insecurities into it.

If I want to make it sarcastic I like 👍👁️👄👁️👍

It’s funny you listing out that experiment, because that’s more akin to the bullshit I run into with Linux when I need to fix some weird ass quirk. Tons if incorrect or outdated information, and forum assholes calling people idiots for not knowing and refusing to help or being autistically pedantic because you misspelled something. Support on either platform is a garbage experience. I haven’t denied that at all.

Granted it is becoming less true on 11. But I am not wrong about the rest. I run into abandonware that doesn’t work far more with Linux.

I’m aware not all software is consumer grade. And many depts like sci/lad/manufacturing/medical definitely have more to worry about with upgrades. Windows 11 is a shit show even at the consumer level, I’d hate to be managing a migration to it for an office, let alone any dept relying on custom hardware. But blaming windows for something that would just as easily happen on a linux machine is a bit disingenuous. Upgrades break shit across all the OSes. I’ve had to rebuild linux servers because an upgrade would break them and keeping them air gapped on a closed loop wasn’t an option.

Again though, those times are more exceptions than rules. I’m not saying Linux hasn’t come a long way. A lot of the distros I’ve worked with are much better than they were a decade ago. They just still aren’t the oobe needed to capture general end users.

But I can select nearly any software since Windows 7 and it will still work on windows 10/11. That is far less common on linux. It’s more a rule on windows with some exceptions vs linux being the inverse.

Support is stupid for both platforms. I don’t even want to touch that mess. Assholes and cunts on both sides and in different ways.
