One of the screenshots has google play store installed on it, that'll do wonders for privacy.

Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 in c/technology@lemmy.world

At least it'll do wonders for the used market, hopefully.

So many things I'd rather do than go back to Windows in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[–] terry_tibbs@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Pretty much the only thing Windows has going for it is hardware support, and that's purely down to manufacturers not supporting Linux so I can't even give MS kudos for that.

If my simracing hardware ever gets decent support I'm switching all my machines over.

Did you ever think that maybe all VPN services are actually secretly owned/funded by governments and that they are only giving you a false illusion of privacy? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Yeah but would they show their hand by coming down heavy on the average pirate or petty law breaker? If they did have ways to track all VPN traffic they wouldn't want us to know about it.

Probably a play on "real hard work".

Which distro do you believe deserves more recognition? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I love the idea of peppermint OS but it didn't work properly on my laptop both times I tried it, first time it wouldn't install any of the extras I selected during the install process and the second time using the Debian 12 base it just straight up wouldn't give me an option to install extras and the window would instantly close when I tried to open it. I really love the ideology behind it and it is a speedy OS but I've ended up going to LMDE instead while I toy with the idea of Arch.

[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] terry_tibbs@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Windows 10 LTSC is the way to go if you absolutely have to use Windows, I'd love to use Linux on my gaming rig but Assetto Corsa + my simracing hardware doesn't play nice at all.
