      Yeah,there is one dude in the Linux group here that is just a complete jackass. Half answers your question, and most of it is just telling you a line of code with no other input and basically treating you like an ass hole for even asking. I don’t remember his name, I have him blocked, but absolutely hated seeing Linux posts with this fucking turd each time. Very demeaning and completely ruins the community. I feel like his personality is just trash and he’s always in a “roll your eyes / deep sigh” mood.

      I wish I could just keep upvoting this.

      I’ll add, want to see your average person roll their eyes and say “nope”, just tell them they have to manually edit a bunch of config files to get going. How much about your car do you need to know to start your car and get somewhere?

      Personally I’m tired of people telling disgruntled Windows users to switch to Linux.

      Linux is not your backup plan, it’s not a “Windows alternative”. Yes, there are projects out there that try to make Linux easier for Windows users, and honestly they can fuck right off. Way too many people are trying to dumb down this incredibly powerful operating system to expand the market into the “gamers” and the “grannies who want to browse the web and send e-mail”.

      Just… just stop.

      But why even care if some random loser gets fucked by Microsoft? It’s like the religious idiots out there who don’t believe in global warming and hate trans people: you can’t deprogram stupid. It’s like waging a war against bears taking a shit in rivers.

      Just made the switch to ZorinOS (aesthetics + pre installed FOSS). Couldn’t be happier. My laptop is shockingly silent and cool even when I’m running multiple apps.

      I really wish sim racing worked well on Linux. The other stuff I need windows for I can work around or compromise. But the sim rig is just too damn windows dependant

    Took this crap off my computer and installed Fedora as my daily. If I need to run Windows, I’ll run it in a VM.

    Former Win10 user here, also a former MS employee, now on Mint. I never even heard of Recall but holy crap on a cracker, Microsoft - seriously? SERIOUSLY?

    You guys have absolutely lost your fucking minds. My advice is to make Microsoft great again by quitting and forming a bunch of startups, where you can work on innovations that are actually good and useful. For the sake of your own sanity.

    This is what forced me onto Linux for the first time, and permanently.

    It’s partly great, mostly fine, and 10% of the time god damn fucking annoying. Mostly having to learn the fucking game of thrones factions of installing things.

    But I don’t feel like there’s a piece of shit company in my computer trying to completely ruin it, so it’s a win. The positives outweigh the negatives, even as someone who wasn’t really into the idea of switching.

    But even if it was half as good, it would still be an improvement, given Microsoft destroying itself.

    I just want to tip my fellow colleagues that need to use windows for their job (and also maybe have invested thousands in pc games).

    This is my favorite tool for debloating and uncrappifying and more. If you have others please reply with yours. 😊

    I’m reading this on a Microsoft Surface that I flashed with Linux Mint. Quite satisfying!

    Message to Microsoft:🖕

    Hey copilot - what was that website I found with the sweet ass interracial stepsibling fuckin? You know the one where that sis’s ass popped just the right way? Not the one with the first-cousins. I gotta draw the line somewhere. I mean, that was ALSO great porn but I have pre-postnut clarity here and that kind of shit just aint what I need right now.

      Slap it into a VM. Name it jail. Call it Windows with bars.
