Everyone uses Windows, so just use Windows
>>
I don't like the way Windows does things, regardless of how many people use it.
>>
not by choice usually
>>
I use windows at my job as a hotel manager. I can play Teamfight Tactics on it. I can't on linux.
At home, my main machine is using Fedora and I hate it very much. My laptop has Mint and it's the goat.
Only downside of Linux is you can't play League of Legends or Teamfight Tactics specifically.
>>
>>109933839
no thanks, last good windows was 7
>>
>>109933869
why do u willingly use Fedora if you hate it?
>>
>>109933869
>Only downside of Linux is you can't play slop or slop-lite specifically
oh darn
>>
>>109933885
because it took a long time to set it up, with all my vibe coded programs and scripts and launchers. My reasoning for using Fedora GayDE was that I have 165hz monitors and Mint flickers unless you turn down refresh rate.
Mint is going full time gayland around Christmas 2026, and I will switch back then.
The main reason I hate fedora is their garbage ass "discovery" update manager... it's just incomplete, nonworking garbage and I swear to god it makes me restart the computer every fucking day all the time. Fuck fedora.
KDE is also pretty bad.
I look forward to Cinnamon with Gayland in a few months
>>
>>109933892
that post is most likely ironic
nobody brags about league of legends
>>
>>109933839
Install Gentoo
>>
>>109933839
i would use windows if it was stable. everything and everyone is spying on everything everyone does anyway but i don't want shit breaking every week after slopcoded update.
>>
>>109933907
>using discovery at all
You can vibeslop all the shit you need but can't make a GUI package manager of your own if you won't just use dnf on the terminal like any sane Fedora user? Or better yet, do what Omarchy does and just code your own desktop configuration to make it less shit if you hate it so much.
>>
>>109933839
linux is cooler thoughever
>>
>>109933869
What's wrong with fedora? Don't like the rolling distro model? Do you just want to use cinnamon?
>>
>>109933839
no. I want the crazies in linux and obscure-shit-no-one-cares-about-land and the kiddies in FisherPriceOS... I don't want neets larping as software devs in this place.
Get off muh propertay

>Only downside of Linux
And the tinkering compared to Windows' easy of use outta the box, which is still something the typical Linux experience doesn't offer on that level. Otherwise, Linux is cool in that it will run on anything.

The key to understanding this is normies don't give a fuck if the computer actually works. If it fucks up, is annoying, or takes longer they get paid either way.

Im still on Win 10. Only use 11 at work because I have to.

Will probably stay on 10 until everything I care about stops working on it and then ill officially move on to Linux, unless windows 12 is better.
>>
>>109933839
No. Windows 11 is a big pile of dog shit. I use NixOS. Btw your claim is not even true. If you want to do any of sort of AI, windows is a no go. Microsoft designed the graphics stack to be optimized for desktop and that cost the whole AI. Nvidia, AMD and Intel don't care about Windows when it comes to AI.

You're using an RTX Pro 6000 in Windows? What a waste of hardware. It's slower and not even compatible with some tools.
>>
>>109936554
i dont do much ai stuff, just anima for loli porn and gemma4 for mesugaki sex.
i play fallout 4, satisfactory, project zomboid... crimson desert is the only new game ive played so theres that. most of tyhe time i just browse 4chan with youtube going the background.
>>
>>109936582
How much did that card cost you? It's 20k right now. If you're only doing that you should sell it and buy a 32GB card like the R9700 or B70. You don't need all that power for anima or gemma4. Anyway you do you, it's your money. I'm just saying. I bet you make some money out of patreon selling your images anyway.

no i dont do any of that or even have a "good job". i work in a factory that makes french fries and french fry accessories as a low paid operator. i make less than the average for my area (northern maine) even. i just love hardware and dont have much else.

I use it at work and the gaming rig is still windows, but my daily driver is mint as of last weekend. Wish I'd done it sooner.

>>109936636
Well ok but you're going to groceries with a tank. I suppose you know that.
>>
>>109936699
it makes more sense when you know that i dont have any plans to upgrade like ever. im pretty convinced hardware will never be affordable again and that this hardware wont be dethroned in any reasonable time frame.

if its using that housefire 12vhpwr power connector it won't last a decade, it will be a miracle if it lasts 5 years.

What's wrong with discovery? Hit update when I want to update. It runs the updates, restart.
>>
>>109933839
>Everyone uses Windows
Wrong. People buy a computer pre installed with windblows meaning they never get asked if that's what they want and W11 dogshit OS gets shoved down their throats.

Similarly

>>109936931
Not who you replied but there are ways to protect that with after market products. I have a sapphire RX 9070 with two 8 pin connectors so no such problem in my case. Sure it's the weaker RX 9070 but who cares? No fire here.
>>
>>109937524
There's no good version of Windows. They're all terrible. I have to use it for work and it's an obnoxious pile of shit and it's the pro version without ads and other crap. It's constantly nagging about updates or being slow. Nothing works quite right, it's a PITA to get things done quick. Debug on problems? Good luck. Configuration? You're stuck.

You may think it's fine for most users and you'd be right but if you're a software developer it's trash constantly getting in the way. Most users don't know what is good because they never tried anything else.

anyone over 50 will not be able to figure out new OS, my dad went from iphone 6S to iphone 18 pro max, and the amount of rage he had was wild, then he decided to also listen to me and upgrade his computer, he was convinced he just needed more ram, when i was crawling out of my skin trying to get it through his boomer head he needs to migrate everything to an SSD and leave the fucking ram alone

upgrades to SSD, migrates, happy as ever, now i tell him to install firefox and an adblock because fucking idiot has never used an adblock
>scared to do it
>boss said to use chrome when remoting in
At this point im like, so why the fuck not install a separate browser
>long pause.jpg
>how, have 2 browsers?
at this point im fucking done and feel like he is trolling me, so i ask if he is messing with me, then he goes lets calm down and we just dropped the topic

But it doesn't break. You are probably messing with things you don't understand as this is often the case with Dunning-Kruger foss kiddies

crazy that it is plausible that AI obviates the need for a debugger before we get a good a graphical debugger on linux.

Forced restarts, ads embedded into the operating system (app ads in the Start menu, OneDrive ads in File Explorer, full-screen Microsoft 365 ads when you start up your PC), Copilot being shoved into the system settings menu, etc.

>>109937922
it's this.
I have to write a lot of shit apps for Windows because a lot of the software I'm forced to support is pure, unusable, shit and there is always some weird subtle fuck you that makes it not work exactly the same on other people's computers.

I've seen shit where some DLL just blocks forever (and it's VMProtect'd so you can't [easily] debug it), I've seen shit where curl get some 503 error, but you open msedge and all of a sudden this mysterious 503 goes away (HTTP Proxy nonsense!??!? who FUCKING KNOWS) or you'll have copy/paste cause windows to lock up because some malware endpoint nonsense hooks the clipboard APIs and processes them synchronously.
Win32 is basically a collection of just overly convoluted nonsense. Anything even remotely helpful and the docs for it will say it's deprecated by [insert obnoxious C++ codeblock calling 3+ more APIs for the same result]. You think WOW Event Logger is so heckin based. It's just like my syslog, then find out if you use the wrong event log api (they both have samish name) your logs are literally permanently in memory, like a giant fucking memory leak. of course the "proper" API is insanely convoluted to use as well.
