Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    It was the last Windows version that felt it was primarily made for desktop use.

    Windows 8 tried to be a hybrid between mobile operating system, and Windows 10 and onward feels more like an advertising platform for Office 365 and Microsoft’s AI services.

    Was 10 actually alright early on in its life, or was I just unaware? I don't remember any of the advertising and spyware crap back when I first upgraded from 7.

    Yes. It installed candycrap automatically and had several other such apps in the start menu.

    [–] smeg@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago

    Oh yeah I do remember that one

    AFAIK it has always been nagging about how much better things will be if you just connect your login to their Microsoft account.

    [–] smeg@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

    I foolishly did that right away so I must have never seen the extra nagging

    And let's not forget Cortana.

    TBH I think 10 was worse before but I use LTSC so my perspective is different.
