      When Windows 95 was in beta I would install it and next day it was dead. We finally realized that the BIOS was killing it.

          oh noes, my karma! Oh wait - there’s no such thing on lemmy :) In all honesty, I think most people downvoting did not fully understand my comment in relation to the one I was replying to. I think they misread it as “people with half a brain cell or more don’t use windows” and pushed the arrow down.

          It forces software on your system you don’t want and when you try remove it it reinstall itself just like a virus. Windows 11 especially is trash.

            Crusader Kings or Europa Universalis? Because they both work fine on Linux via Proton!

              Eu4 with little to no actual knowledge of how the things in my OS work, I just know what Google is. Also I can’t afford a new PC or to risk screwing up my current one

                If you’ve got a USB stick lying around you can make a “live disk” (or whatever it’s called nowadays) and run Linux off it to try it out. 90% of being a techie is having an interest and knowing how to do a web search so you’re most of the way there already!
