Because too many developers don’t understand cybersecurity.

As is obvious from some of these comments here.

Whats next, you want domain admin access to every computer/server you touch as well?

So, how many backdoors do you think they implemented into the kernel?

That ain’t going to turn down the negativity though

Nah, if a company goes bankrupt, their entire software base should just be posted online.

Or sold like their many assets.

Obviously it are the avocado toast

But if the media didn’t blew it up so much, we wouldn’t get all these memes.

Its the Streisand in full effect.

Can any driver confirm they get the extra pay?

Or is this just propaganda to make the buyer feel good?

You mean exactly like Steam?

That’s why you use something like perplexity.ai instead of an LLM

It lists the sources where it found the information, so you can always doublecheck. The AI part is mostly just summarises of the websites that bypass the SEO bullshit.

This may take you some clicks when you’ve already installed Windows before

Those same clicks can be used by everyone

but it’s heading towards simply not being an option

Speculation, not based on facts.

and setting up a usable Linux installation is already much easier today.

Only if you know what you are doing. So exactly the same boat as you put Windows in.

Damn, which part did you get stuck?

The clicking “next” part?

The unplugging of internet to get a local account?

Or the running of a debloating script?

And how many hours more to get all the drivers working properly?

If it takes multiple hours to install Windows for you, better to stick to OSes you do know.

Just install Windows 11

If you want debloated Windows, you already aren’t using the procedure Microsoft wants you to use. So why would you even care?

If you follow Microsoft’s procedure, it takes less than 5 minutes to get a working setup.

All these toxic community threads do is push me away from Linux before I become as insufferable as them.

Windows has its flaws, but at least it doesn’t have an annoying fanbase.

Nah, nothing to do with censorship.

More in the line of “Microsoft is a capitalist POS that only cares about money and doesn’t cater to my niche specific needs.” And they want to remind everyone every time they talk about Microsoft.

Not common knowledge to use Rufus?

What else do you use to create bootable flash drives?

I’ve installed over +400 Window machines.

Windows is definitely easier to use in my opinion. Without having to buy the correct hardware, fiddle with the drivers, find the correct updates, run things through command because there is no UI, and deal with a toxic community.

So your statement is factually incorrect.

Of course there is. Windows gets used in professional settings.

You can setup a Windows Deployment Service where you can deploy Windows from a network boot with all the settings already incorporated.

The only thing you need to do is boot the computer from network and let it do its thing.

Afterwards you have a complete working setup with all the correct settings and updates and software already installed. With literally 1 minute of work.

Damn, maybe your friend should have installed it themselves.

Would have taken less time.
