5 reasons you should not ditch Windows:

  • Your hardware is incompatible or you do not want to fiddle with settings or command lines

  • Your applications/games only work well on native Windows (and not wine)

  • You need serious group policy support or other device/software lockdown methods

  • Your company policy requires it

  • Makes helping Windows users harder if you cannot walk them through the same things they are doing

Of course if any of these apply you can always dual-boot or use a VM. I'm not saying you shouldn't use Linux at all.

Anything ever found from this point on then will just be sold on tor for top dollar to the highest bidder.

Photoshop works fine for me in wine, no VM necessary, and performance is near native.

Nothing, but it won't work forever as more and more sites start to use it, eventually (if they keep blocking it for years) their users will keep complaining and/or just leave if they cannot access the sites they want.

I can't imagine what they would do if a blind person walked in.

Was the entire inside area closed off to foot traffic completely? Or are you saying the inside kiosks worked (and people would still hand you your food) but they somehow refused to actually take orders manually?

I never said I was surprised... I am fully aware that many locations are run poorly.

But I have never once in my life encountered a location where it was impossible to order at the counter from a human and only the kiosks worked. I mean they still have to hand you your food, why would they refuse to take your order at the counter? What if you were blind?

I asked several friends and they all said the same thing. I know that's a small sample size, but I still doubt your "half the time" number.

Half the time you can’t even order with a person.

Pretty sure that is not true. Maybe if they were breaking their own rules at your particular location or something.

we all know that isn’t 100% factual
