Windows just works tbh. If you don't want to do anything out of the ordinary, it does exactly what it says on the box.

From a non hardcore Foss pov (I use linux on an old machine to tinker, but I don't enjoy it. It takes too much energy to get random shit working. My old random Bluetooth usb dongle I had laying around was not compatible with linux? Took me a fucking week to figure that out... ): w11 is as good as windows has ever been.
It does exactly what you want and lets your os mainly stay out of your way of doing other stuff.
All the people complaining about ads and shit: I use Vivaldi and turned off notifications in the side panel. I basically never notice I use windows, except that stuff just works. No fucking around with drivers, random old usb devices just work. All apps I download just work. Never need any serious OS troubleshooting for daily use.
Maybe windows spies on certain things I do? That sucks balls. But I also enjoy watching tiktok on the loo and I still use Facebook to connect with relatives all over the world. It sucks, but I've taken my peace with that fact that true privacy online is gone for average Joe. In the end it's just metadata. Who cares that instagram knows I like to look at ladies underwear...
Oh yeah, one hundred percent. The only reason I got kids was to make sure they can take care of my retirement.
Just as I'm taking care of my parents. I have totally absolutely 100% not broken off all contact with them because of their shitty behaviour. No sir, absolutely not.
I'll believe it when I see it. There's new battery tech every other week. 99,9% never goes anywhere
Let's see who will pay for your retirement and medical care eventually... (unless if you live in that US hellscape ofcourse)
Please don't leave your house, and if you do, please for the love that might be holy don't do it in areas actually inhabited by people.
Corporate speak sucks, but it's 100x better than Linus digging an ever deeper hole for himself at this time. Dude and his wife just need to take a backseat for a while and let pros fix their shit
Not their choice, but "Homosexuality is a choice".
To use a really dumb argument I've heard before.
I'm fairly certain he's against it due to his upbringing and never bothering to question his "beliefs" on the topic.
"Homosexuality is weird and wrong" (and it makes me doubt my own sexuality and masculinity) is probably the only driver behind it.
My elderly father would probably catch on fire if he steps into a church. But he shares basically all social values with hardcore Christians.
You can be a non believer, that was raised in a certain belief system and as such share their shitty values. I would imagine this is much more common with older atheists/agnostics/don't-care-about-religion,-only-myselfionists
How? If you just install windows software and follow the installer, it just works no? I've never ran into issues using software written for windows. There might be issues with the software itself, but I've never had issues with the installation procedure.
