Linux user complaining about having to add repositories manually in order to get a piece of software to update or to add a tool they need.

Me as an any operating system user. Both have draw backs that aren't for normal people.

1. Windows is a privacy nightmare. The OS is constantly sending data to Microsoft while being used.

2. Windows hogs resources. If you don't shovel money out for new hardware every few years, your computer will run like shit.

3. Windows is full of ads.

4. The majority of malware is written for Windows. Not really a selling point for me, but it's a bonus.

5. Linux is free.

6. Linux doesn't force updates. You update when you want to, and it takes less than a minute to do.

Think about why you joined Lemmy. Reddit has been getting greedier and greedier, so you left to a place where the grass is greener. The same thing is true with Windows and Linux (and Linux is also much more big and mature than Lemmy). It attracts the same kind of people.

i used to use arch but it kept deteriorating over time and it was fun to fix but now im in year 10 with board exams next year lol(i dont have time for that)

I someday hope to meet myself again.

Have you considered CrossFit?

I'm going to argue that it's very unlikely any of those people are friends or colleagues. It didn't ask if you recommend Windows on social media or forums.

are those real? I don't believe anyone ever said "it's like linux but it works."

Oh god

I gotta be honest, I actually really like windows 11.

Recall is awful and I hope enough pressure keeps it away (or at least as something you have to manually turn on). But besides that it's mostly just windows 10 but better. I get better battery life, better performance, I actually mostly like the UI changes etc.

Also does nobody remember all of the hate for 10 when it first came out?

I literally can't install Windows 11 on my current computer lol. I know there are workarounds for it but I don't feel comfortable doing that for my primary computer.

windows 11 isn' all bad. It made my mother ask me to install linux on her computer.
