  • That is like saying 10 minutes isn’t even enough to read all the different distros names, let alone pick one. It misses the point.

    I can debloat a computer in less than 10 minutes because I do it often when installing a computer for a user. Just run a script that completely removes packages that aren’t needed on work computers.

    You mean the SMB protocol from 1980?

    Let me guess, you were using SMBv1 instead of SMBv2 or v3? Which are both enabled by default on Windows 11.

    Geez, almost like older protocols require better security.

    I though you guys hated Windows because it was so insecure?

    You mean like Windows registry which determines how the windows need to be managed, just like almost every other program running on Windows?

    Your explanation still doesn’t differentiate.

    Or do you claim Linux calls home to some rando server to get the information on how a window should be displayed? Because that doesn’t seem like a great feature at all.

    Because like most things made for power users: it confuses and terrifies regular users.

    Seriously, even with something as simple as Fancy Zones, regular users would get frustrated when they move a window while accidentally or purposely holding shift and their window reshapes itself.








  • Tons of airports and train systems run either Windows 3.0 or Windows XP if they are recent.

    They don’t want to update because they have already encountered every problem that could arise ever. Which they know how to fix in mere minutes.

    And upgrading anything would mean the entire business can’t function during it. Afterwards you also have tons of new problems that could take days to fix since they don’t have the knowledge yet. Which could endanger lives.
