@catsalad i think every full time linux user must run windows 3 months a year just to see what they're missing out on.

maybe some of these are things they like missing out on, sure. but they should make that decision consciously

@kopper@wetdry.world @catsalad@infosec.exchange ngl it took me a month of running windows to go back to my jankfest of choice, im not touching that for another few years

@kopper It's painful going back to Windows when your daily driver is Linux/BSD/etc.

@kopper @catsalad

I think actually if the other way around happened we'd see a sizeable migration to desktop Linux.

@kopper @catsalad frankly I would rather drown myself in goblin piss. Or faeces. Or both. Windows has always been terrible although the ad for the first version from decades ago has always made me laugh out loud. Although writing TSRs was a lot of fun I must admit .. but totally not worth it.

@kopper @catsalad If only Windows wasn't extremely expensive and a bitch to install

Föderation EN Mo 30.06.2025 15:47:58

@kopper @catsalad I don't know what that does or means.

@Sparkwave @kopper @catsalad Windows powershell equivalent of a "curl trustmebro.yolo | sudo bash" to perform an, erm, zero cost license activation against the current most popular provider of those.

(although... shouldn't that be iwr ... | iex ?)

@kopper @catsalad I have to run Windows for work, so I am very much aware of the pain I'm freed from when switching to my own computer.

@kopper @catsalad To be that guy I have a Linux machine at home and a Window's laptop for work everyday and I've got more friction using Windows than Linux

@kopper @catsalad trying to do C++ development on Windows 7 is an entire story I have

Like, if anything on Windows "Just Works" I'm convinced it's in spite of Microsoft's best efforts, not because of them

@bdf2121cc3334b35b6ecda66e471 @catsalad ok but people do more than programming on they computers

@kopper @catsalad I work in onsite IT support so I'm constantly reminded why I don't want it on my private hardware while I'm having fun with this broken mess (domain controlled environment DOUBLES the fun)
