Most Linux users prob won’t care if Win10 dies.

    btw if windows 10 dies, windows 11 will be forced on windows users, which is like 10000x times worse (personal experience). This is why i want to switch to linux when i get a decent computer (no, that linux distro i choose can’t be further from the “linux will run on everything” quote)

        better than Garuda? Bazzite is based on Fedora. I used fedora, and hated it. Basically no selection between packages, it only has a very few amount

      win11 is a major improvement tbh.
      process scheduling doesnt suck as much as it used to and bluetooth has AAC support (win10 only has sbc which sounds bad)
      defender is much harder to get rid of though (but you can still get rid of almost all online features and telemetry including ms accounts using group policies as long as you have Enterprise or a LTS version)

        privacy is even more nonexistent, everything is cluttered and the gui is very inconsistent. And for me, bluetooth usually doesn’t work at all after updating for win11

          bt is not as good on linux (takes like 10 seconds to pick up my earbuds after i take them out vs up to 2 seconds on linux) but its still a major improvement. the new tiling seems pretty cool but eh didnt end up using it. virtual desktops and dual monitors work a lot better although switching desktops can break taskbar icons (and that bug still hasnt been fixed since release)

    I have been a Linux user since 1995. Anyone that thinks that Linux is invulnerable is just silly.

      It’s security through small market share. There’s just not enough major organizations using Linux as a default to warrant large numbers of all manor of gray or black hats to dig deep into finding the exploits.

        You do know that almost the entire Internet runs on linux? Even Microsoft isn’t running very many windows servers. In my humble opinion, if you are running a server on Windows, you are batshit crazy.

          People have censorship ingrained in them so thoroughly that they carry it with them at all times, even when it is blatantly unnecessary. Buncha cunts if you ask me!

              Probably he is serious, you can get shadow-banned on TikTok/Instagram/Facebook by posting swear/obscene words on images. Obviously that thing doesn’t happen here, this is not China.

                It’s really bad because that sort of self censoring spills into other mediums like Teams chats at work. I had a coworker message me and say “I feel like an !di0t right now”

                Y censor harmless words. Aagggggggghhh.

              I can’t blame people given how many parts of the Internet now engage in automated or semi-automated intransparent censorship. Can’t have the general public communicating freely with each other, they might coordinate a revolution or something. So far I trust the fediverse to be relatively immune from that though.

                I got auto-banned after commenting on a reddit post because the bot searched my entire post history and found I had commented on NSFW threads in the past! The extra fun part was that I really hadn’t. The NSFW threads were from subs that had turned that flag on for all posts out of protest for Reddit’s closed API debacle. In short, exactly as you describe. Intending to quash the revolution.

      Can you actually pirate Windows LTSC?

      Is there any good guide?

        The guide is on the site they linked. It works, I did it a few times. They have to mirror the LTSC installation files unfortunately, but there’s a guide on how to verify they’re genuine if you don’t trust them.

        It seems you can download the ISO directly from Microsoft, or from that site, and use their script to activate it.
        I haven’t had the opportunity to test it yet, but seems “legit” to me.

    You care so little that you made a meme about it, and have now reposted a slightly edited version of it roughly a day later.
