Hackers (1995)?

This is the best answer. I've been doing it for years at work. Dual-booting is just very inconvenient and WSL(2) is the worst of both worlds.

Install Linux on the machine and keep windows in a nice secure kvm-based cage where it can do less damage.

So far I've traded in all my Playstations for the latest versions. But this price-hike and no disc-drive are a dealbreaker. Guess I'm going for a new gaming PC and a Steam Deck now. Too bad Sony, you messed up.

Too bad, hardly any information in this AI narrated video.

TL;DW:

  • School of the Lynx, not in the official Lore
  • Not before 2025/2026
  • Based on Unreal Engine 5

I'm sorry, you're arguing in bad faith or have a huge case of Stockholm Syndrome.

But, just look at their Troubleshooting documentation where they tell you to drop to the terminal.

My point is that Microsoft has stopped making new buttons and dropdowns and refer you to new Powershell incantations for most new settings. Just look at how many options the new "Settings" app offers compared to the deprecated Control Panel.

Ha, then stay on Windows 7/10 or you'll lose your control panel soon..

I have heard this argument for over 20 years.. "You have to use the terminal in Linux, so user hostile".

Well, try to do ANY windows sysadmin tasks without Powershell.. See how far that gets you. Need to manage Exchange? Powershell. Need to change some network settings? Powershell.. It is even getting more and more unavoidable. Now Powershell doesn't even have a good terminal environment, sane parameters or good usability. And a general lack of documentation for all the obscure incantations.

In the meantime KDE on Linux is wonderful, fully integrated with the system, easy software maintenance (on Kubuntu for example) and with a sane settings menu... You hardly need a terminal at all. Try to find that in Windows.

So sorry, this argument is either invalid, out of date or Microsoft is even worse.

Ha, I had to look up the most up-to-date acronym on Wikipedia and found this one. They are NVidia and Adobe.

I quite like this one :)

I would buy YouTube Premium in a heartbeat if it wasn't by the morally corrupt Google (or any other from MANAMANA).

Is it just me or is that the guy from The Boys?

Strangly this UI always reminds me of the hospital scene from Idiocracy... Click the icon for where it hurts

As others have said: it depends on your technical expertise.. But a nice and cheap solution is hosting a static blog build with Jekyll on Gitlab pages.
