PC people: Many of you are now realizing what “Windows as a Service” means. Your OS is harvesting every bit of your data and sending it back to the MS Mothership.
And you’re kind enough to pony up the cash to supply the hardware for it to run on.
Doesn’t detract from the point whatsoever. Exactly what the Linux fanboys were always made fun of for is what’s happening. It’s heading exactly where Stallman has always warned. (Edit: I’d argue it’s already arrived, actually.)
What they’re made fun of for is never shutting up about how superior they are.
i mean at this point it’s more of a collective disbelief that people continue to punch themselves in the stomach when it’s perfectly possible to simply not do so
OK.
Which is funny because the original comment doesn’t mention Linux or Arch at all.
It doesn’t, but unless they’re a Mac user, and I don’t see them on Lemmy shitting on Windows all the time, there’s only one other option.
This is like making fun of someone for getting into Harvard. I’m sure they’ll survive.
Choosing to be a smug asshole is like getting in Harvard? Oh, yeah, I see your point.
I use arch btw
yup it’s true
“Using Gentoo on 4 different architectures” bar is not here because other bars would be invisible if it was.
Honestly not sure we should be referring to windows as a PC OS anymore, Microsoft changing settings without your permission doesn’t sound like something that should happen on a Personal computer…
See that’s the elephant in the room: you think it’s your personal computer. Microsoft thinks it’s their personal computer.
Remove the word personal and that’s what I always used to hear about apple, and you know what? Microsoft is becoming more and more like apple every day
If you install windows its a microsoft computer with limited access granted to you. very generous.
The difference between a PC and a console is how open source the OS is
These days it’s hard to argue with that, windows used to actually let you control the computer… But those days are long gone
Good thing I love using linux!
I wanna make the jump to Linux. I worry about it but maybe there’s a good video tutorial somewhere on it.
It’s something you should just try and not worry too much about. If things go wrong you can always go back to windows.
One thing that you should understand first, most of the time linux tutorials involve the terminal, that’s becouse for a lot of linux users it’s faster and easier to do things that way, on the other hand usually there is a GUI based way to do those things as well (depending on what desktop environment you’re using it can be more or less likely)
Terminal is no more necessary than command prompt/power shell
It’s rare that steam deck or android users use it
Just pick any linux distro, burn the iso into a USB, and boot onto the USB and see how you like it from there
