I’ve decided to switch to Linux come october. I have some reasons I wanna wait as long as I can, but come october I’m leaving Windows behind.

I’m sure there’s some Linux configuration to enable that

Europeans don’t like Nazis.

Americans, well…

There’s a lot of letters here, but nobody is explaining what they mean. How do I know what I need? I’m not gonna install everything, or look up every single program to see.

You could do that before?

If I had the money, sure. But I don’t.

Gee, I wonder why.

I thought the same thing about soft, bend-able screens. But that became a fairly big thing.

This is really good information, now I know to avoid their browser like the plague.

Where am I supposed to get them then?

I’m thinking Mint.

Well, in this case you can have different audio profiles for each channel.

Then you should have no issue naming a distro that is a 1:1 equal of Windows 10 or maybe even 7, but with none of the enshittification and only upsides.

Honestly I’m getting a bit tired of discussions about Windows getting hijacked by people almost aggressively pushing Linux as the go-to alternative. I’m sure Linux is good, but it often feels less like helpful advice and more like proselytizing. I think most users aren’t looking for a whole paradigm shift, they want improvements within the environment they already know, not a completely different system with its own learning curve and compromises.

I’m kind of tempted to keep using Windows just to remove these features as a big middle finger to MS.

In that case the EU will have to tax them proper.

Hasn’t this been the case since the computerization of hospitals? Haven’t there been many ransomware attacks against hospitals?

I feel like they’re reading too much into this.

Be the change you want to see in the world

I really hope the whole shift away from American products will convince more software and game developers to provide native support for Linux. I am approaching the fence.
