The Windows have been broken for some time now, so it wasn’t much of an issue
I was gonna say exactly that 👍
I just turn off the firewall
Agonised Linux user noises "Argh, it burns!" "Not the fire, touching windows!"
Hey we use them, np. It's not like we are afraid of windows like some russian oligarchs.
Give me libre or give me death
I REALLY want to switch to a Linux distro on my main machine, but every time I'm about to I find some hitch. It might be solvable, but I seriously don't want to spend an hour looking up random commands I'll never use again or remember.
I try 3-5 distros every 3-4 months and always end back up on a debloated heavily modified windows.
I don't like windows, don't get me wrong. But between driver issues, app issues, some utilities I can't seem to find a replacement for, and a suboptimal shared remote access approach - I really can't make things work well enough to not degrade my day to day work productivity.
That said, I do run Linux distros for very specific things at work or my homelab just fine...I just can't seem to figure out a way to run it as my dedicated personal and/or work machine without making heavy concessions.
I set up a new laptop with win 11 recently and i had litterally all of the issues you described. If I wasn't at work I would have screamed at the laptop out of frustration ... well I did scream but I tried to keep it professional.
I had issues with a printer on Linux but aside from that, Linux has always served me better and with less issues than windows in the last 5 years.
Recently switched to linux, but still got my dualboot just for the forza horizon games. (Got 1-6 in microsoft account)
Everything else is linux now and the switch wasnt all too Bad.
Abandon Forza and come to enlightenment (Super Tux Kart)
I wish I could, but the horizon games are by far the best fusion of realistic driving and pure arcade fun. Along with banger Soundtracks. Fuck microslop, but I fuckin love Forza Horizon
Surprised you didn't just buy fh6 on steam. A bit crashy if you run an nvidia GPU cause they still haven't updated the linux drivers yet, but otherwise it runs fine.
The xbox key was much cheaper than steam and since I also got all other FHs in that xbox account, I kept it cheap and neat.
I tried to jump out the window but I was blocked by a popup saying the window was unusable at the moment due to a forced update. It has been fun. Time to die!
Before there was macroshaft windows there was xwindows. It came out in June 19th 1984 and as far as I'm concerened any windows I have to go through is a X window. It beat macroshaft to the name by over a year.
I'll only use the Open GNW (GNW is NOT a Window) system.
Lol many of us have to use Windows at work so we actually have current knowledge of the shittiness... But the other way around is not true, and here in the memes it seems the accusation is a confession, meh. :-)
Well now I'm not going
We need a Linux Arch release called "Doors" ;)
