I hope it’s all compatible with the other platforms’ quote post feature.

If it’s any comfort to you (heh), a Linux user trying to install Windows on a second drive would probably see its bootloader ruined by Windows as well.

That’s why I don’t do dualboots. Screw it.

Linux and Windows are probably just equally as difficult to use to the average user. Might as well go Linux with less obnoxious features like copilot and recall. My dad was a Windows user for many many years, but he still knew zilch about how to solve problems in Windows. The average user would need to google anyway, no matter which OS.

And with the right distro (Linux Mint for example) you would have zero interactions with the terminal. Everything’s done via the GUI, just like Windows.

I’ve had to interact with weird things in Windows lately which I had to google up like ‘open the run programs and type in srvcmngmt.msc’ or whatever that was again. Something that apparently couldn’t have been done via the GUI. Great job!

For the record I am still mainly a Windows user.

Windows 10 is about to be end-of-life this October. You probably think ‘just update your OS to Windows 11’, but many computers are deemed unfit for Windows 11 by Microsoft.

In order to move on to Windows 11, many people, and I do really mean a ridiculously large amount of people would need to buy a new computer or laptop. In the meantime their old systems are still fit for everyday use, so there is quite a lot of e-waste coming up.

Instead of just dumping the old computers you can just put Linux on them and continue using them. Linux costs nothing, just time. So if you don’t have specialized software which absolutely must have Windows, you might as well just switch to Linux and keep using your old systems which are still perfectly fine for your everyday needs.

My old gaming laptop that I still use right now is from 2018. It does have the TPM 2.0 chip that Windows 11 requires, but its CPU is like just one generation too old for it. So, what do I do? When Windows 10 stops getting its updates, throw it away? Naw man, Linux will work. You can even game on Linux just fine as the Steam Deck has proven already, so I’ll just switch my sweet laptop over to Linux and continue using it as usual.

Didn’t the UK recently have a controversial online safety act or something? And didn’t many servers defederate UK servers as result?

Just curious, what’s the 5% that doesn’t work with JS disabled?

It took me far too long to figure out what note taking app this here is even talking about. Apparently it’s a homemade app named Directus?

Obsidian charges for sync, but you can totally do your own syncing with other means.

What if this is being done via Steam which has superior input configuration?

Yay Serif. Although, aren’t they Canva nowadays?

Same.

Cash will always exist. Even though I pay cashless 99% of the time, there’s always that little 1% when having a bit of cash on you is useful. It just means any cash on me will last a long time before I even get around to spend it.

And why would there be riots? Spain had zero riots, people were calm from what I’ve seen.

Sharkey. Piefed. Pixelfed. In order from most used to least used. I don’t use Lemmy.

The Fediverse is diverse. Do you want something looking like the original Instagram? We’ve got it. Just a Twitter-clone (without algorithms)? We got it too. Something like Reddit? Sure thing, why not! Something to track your books with? Yeah, that’s around as well. Something doesn’t exist yet? Don’t worry, it eventually will! 😋

And the fun thing… Most of the platforms can interact with each other since they speak mostly the same language on the same network! You don’t like the interface of Mastodon? No worries, go use Misskey or Akkoma or whatever! Mastodon-users will still be able to read your posts! No more moving to a nicer looking platform and finding out that all your followers have to move along too or you’d be shouting all alone into the void!
