    For whatever reasony work tools on Linux aren't working right now, so I am using win10 for the moment.

    The start menu is a fucking nightmare. I don't care about what's on the internet when I am looking for my software. This isn't a mobile phone.

    What's even worse is that I know what the name of my software is. But half the time, when I use the start menu, the web results and ads load first and it takes a while to show my software, if it ever shows up at all.

    Microsoft is the only company that can make so many bad decisions in such a short time…

    Meanwhile yesterday I fucked up my linux installation trying to find alternatives on how to be use the wheel click without having things pasted with it :/

    I'll be trying again when I am not lazy to reinstall it again.

    I recently tried out Fedora and it deleted my Windows boot files so I had to fuck with the computer for hours trying to troubleshoot... not to mention that almost all Linux tools can't create a proper bootable USB Windows recovery drive :/ Never had this problem with OpenSUSE (I had the best Linux experience with that one for sure) or Ubuntu, they behaved properly with dual-boot install. I guess Fedora never again. And what's with that name anyway? It's dumb. Fedoras are a meme for a reason.

    If you install windows and set the language to be english (world), there will be no preinstalled BS apps like tiktok.

    Of course most people wont do that

    That’s so long as your install source/disk is multi regional. Most Windows install images are for a specific region unless you’re lucky to have MSDN or bought a non-crappy OEM Windows disk.

    A disk? What year is this?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Wait, what are you talking about? Windows doesn't pre-install TikTok. Are you talking about OEM versions? Those come with a bunch of bloatware because they get paid by the companies to add their software to the install. If you get a copy of windows that's not attached to a pre-built computer, then it shouldn't have any bloatware. Granted, I haven't installed Windows 11, and don't plan to, so my knowledge could be dated.

    I read about "how much Crap there is in windows" and thought linux should be much smoother to run on my laptop. But it turns out to be the opposite. Firefox for windows works much better than Firefox for linux. For me windows just works. Linux even without telemetry struggles to perform as good as windows.

    Which distro are you using? That doesn't sound very normal

    And yet most people choose Windows.

    You guys will never ever understand and you'll be on your death bed screaming Linux DE is just fine and totally just as easy to use.

    O&O shutup 10

    you'll love your windows machine once you turn off the bullshit.

    Man, this is the kind of "Linux" meme I wanted to get away from when moving away from Reddit.

    Can we please instead make memes that don't just boil down to "Windows bad"?
