    By pouring tabasco sauce in your eye

    By recognizing that it was a stock picture of a person putting eye drops in their eyes that somebody photoshopped to replace the eyedrop bottle with Tabasco.

    Oh yay another Windows 11 being bad meme, and all the same comments about it too. Feel like it's groundhog day cause this place only has 2 jokes that get recycled on repeat.

    Putting tobasco in your own eye is still easier than getting sound card drivers to work in Windows ME.

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

    I'm a pretty patient person when it comes to technology..... But Windows ME (Mistake Edition) is the only OS that made me legitimately throw my Compaq ESN pro computer down a flight of stairs

    (Yes it still worked fine afterwards)

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (3 children)

    Yeah. It was so bad that they didn't even bother releasing and service packs, just skipped straight to XP. Then came Vista, which was also bad enough to gain the nickname Windows Me 2 (or Me too).

    Masochist, also, Username seriously not relevant.

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

    There is no way I'd willingly put hot sauce in my eyes. Maybe I should change my username to "nohotsauceineyes"

    I hated Windows 11 because:

    • Constant Telemetry
    • Hogs resources. Examples include: Using 1/3 of my 1TB SSD and 1/2 of 16GB of DDR5 RAM
    • Tons of vulnerabilities, several that remain unaddressed
    • Forced updates
    • The UI and start menu is hideous, search immediately searches Bing instead of my system for an app

    I love Fedora 39 because:

    • No telemetry, optional anonymous bug reporting
    • Uses only 50GB of my 1TB SSD and 1.6GB of 16GB of DDR5 RAM on the OS plus GNOME
    • Vulnerabilities continue to be patched through kernel updates (currently up to 6.7.7 on Fedora)
    • I get to choose when to update my system
    • I like my riced UI, the application menu is clean and search searches for apps on my system first with perfect accuracy

    Did I prove my point?

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (3 children)

    I generally agree with your sentiment but I'm calling bullshit on a 300gb install. I work in a computer repair shop and load win11 more than 10x a week. Stock install with 23h2 and all updates, even with a GPU (big driver) is always under 50gb. A loaded down version of Pro with hyper V and a bunch of other shit including office is never even 60gb.

    And unused RAM is wasted RAM. I have seen win11 run on 2gb ddr3. As you ask for more RAM, it will unload and make space for the new request.

    And yes, I daily Linux and generally prefer it.

    I use windows for work, and I just had to update to Win 11 when I got a new PC.

    Jesus Christ I hate it.

    So many fundamental parts of my workflow have been disrupted. I have yet to find one change which I actually like.

    I thought they did a pretty good job with Windows 10, but this one is five steps backwards.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

    I don't know a thing about windows 11 but they'll have to claw windows 10 away from me to force me to switch. Why would I even want to? Windows 10 works just fine and even that I only switched to because they fucking forced me. If I could I'd still use Windows 2000. I loved that one. XP was fine as well though. I don't want to worry about my OS. I want it to fucking work.

    But an OS you don't need to upgrade doesn't generate money.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

    I don't do much on my computer any more. But even with my minimal use windows 11 ruined several key things that were fine from xp to windows 10. Things that don't even make sense to be changed, biggest one is the alt tab.

    I work in I.T., and even after doing it a hundred times I still get lost finding the fucking network adapter page

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

    I can no longer alt+f+s+a to open PowerShell as admin in the current folder

    I can no longer drag files into the address bar to move files to the parent folder.

    I can no longer see the seconds by clicking the clock on the taskbar.

    File explorer search is still shit.

    File properties window is still fixed size, and cannot be resized.

    We're regressing, billy-boy.

    It's not thaaaat bad c'mon guys! I mean I'm sometimes forced to setup/debug something on my family/relative's windows PC and all I take is a pill to keep my nausea under control that's it.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

    I've been using Windows 11 on a work laptop for years now. it's not that bad cmon. all the annoyances I've fixed with third party software and such as has been the case with me and Windows for decades.

    We would sometimes rub tabasco in our eyes in basic training to try to stay awake

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Why? What service? We did everything that we could to catch sleep where we could in USN boot camp.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (2 children)

    US marines, we had to stay awake during the lecture periods or we would get pulled aside and absolutely smoked lol so tabasco was the better alternative for some

    I'd rather do a LABeast x Steve-o tribute and butt chug 4l of ghost pepper sauce than use windows 11.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

    This meme is so cringe, fine you hate windows whatever but saying you would do this instead of using it makes me wanna convince you to put hot sauce in your eyes.

    Sense I'm allergic to capsaicin, windows 11 please. Although it's fucking horrible. I prefer not to spend the rest of my life in extreme pain and blind. :/

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

    Allergic to capsaicin? Dude, I'm so sorry that must really suck

    I've done both accidentally, I choose Tabasco.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Aside from weird design choices and obvious privacy issues I like Windows 11 much more than Windows 10. It is especially more usable on my 2in1 laptop, even though it doesn't officially "support" it, which is just nonsense.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (5 children)

    i only use windows (10) for playing valorant (fuck riot games) and it sucks

    When I was about a year old I found a bottle of Tabasco and got the lid off. Wondering what was inside I peered into the bottle and shook it.

    Or so I'm told. I have no memory of it but my parents had it burned into theirs.

    I didn't like it apparently.
