I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.
2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.
Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

That is not the case. Default builds of Windows 10 & 11 can send annoying notifications like “Scanned your computer blah blah…”. And I assume there are lot more. I mean if it isn’t popup, then what it is? I mostly disable notifications completely by the way. Probably there are more than that, idk.

It’s like that guy that was upset his computer wanted a wifi connection and that it was “giving sensitive info to Microsoft!”
Bro just stop using the internet if you’re that scared.
Do you really think just because of that? You guys are dramatizing a lot than me. I just say that is annoying, defaults are not fine. Tweaking it consumes my time a lot. Don’t miss the whole point. It’s just a tiny tiny little bit example of how awful and annoying defaults are.

How it is dramatic? You are the one who took offense… It’s not hard to just understand defaults are bad.

Just look at how you talk, that explains that you are not worthy to keep talking.
You just turned a simple conversation that needed to be kept simple and friendly into a complete disaster combined with aggressiveness.
You would’ve convinced me that I am wrong. So toxic.
