Incredible the downvotes you get. It's true. Windows literally spies on you

[–] kumatomic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It forces software on your system you don't want and when you try remove it it reinstall itself just like a virus. Windows 11 especially is trash.

Try edge. Are you sure? It's better. Why are you going to google? Did you know bing is better?

And so on and so on. It's gross.

You can even earn reward points and real cash bribes to use Bing.

Hope they're having fun watching me become Emperor of the HRE as Japan then. Cause I'm stuck with windows

Crusader Kings or Europa Universalis? Because they both work fine on Linux via Proton!

[–] ThunderclapSasquatch@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Eu4 with little to no actual knowledge of how the things in my OS work, I just know what Google is. Also I can't afford a new PC or to risk screwing up my current one

If you've got a USB stick lying around you can make a "live disk" (or whatever it's called nowadays) and run Linux off it to try it out. 90% of being a techie is having an interest and knowing how to do a web search so you're most of the way there already!

oh noes, my karma! Oh wait - there's no such thing on lemmy :) In all honesty, I think most people downvoting did not fully understand my comment in relation to the one I was replying to. I think they misread it as "people with half a brain cell or more don't use windows" and pushed the arrow down.

This is probably it haha
