The other day it rewrote a registry key that prevented these pop ups.

This is what drove me away. There are like 7 people that figured out how to make these pop-ups disappear and Microsoft invested money to “patch” that “error” to ensure they were forced to continue seeing these ads.

Why would they do that when people use this one all the same?

Plenty of other places to upload images. I think catbox.moe is a popular one.

Haha, should have known you can’t post that shit around here.

But I agree, I use Brave and it’s awesome! They even have a private LLM!

The poor UI and lack of polish has been a big problem in design communities for a long time

I dunno what to tell you except that it’s not a problem now.

For all the deserved shit that Windows gets, it “just works” without ever needing to touch config or a terminal.

Most people don’t need to use anything other than a browser, which works fine.

I can’t see Reddit anymore

A nice looking UI with good fonts, and a clean interface.

Pretty much anything beats Windows in that regard.

The ability to run random Windows applications with minimal fuss.

I mean if you REALLY can’t find a FOSS alternative, Bottles has been extremely successful and easy for me…

All without needing to use the terminal

This is the biggest hangup for me. Even if there is a GUI, most instructions will send you into the terminal nonetheless.

Better question is “why not”?

Uhhhh well maybe you’re privvy to some insider information you’d like to share? Because they’ve announced no such intention.

Yes but you can literally have “known supported hardware” without literally building a “ground up Linux machine”.

That’s cool but probably unnecessary. The vast majority of hardware works fine.

I definitely opted for an AMD GPU in my new gaming rig specifically to run Linux/ChimeraOS, and hopefully one day SteamOS.

That’s fine but then he comes off as “taking the low road” instead of you.

I could do that any time of the year

I really don’t think you could. This is a time of year that the entire country recognizes as “holiday season”, so there’s a good chance your entire family can take off of work and all be together at that time of year.

When you get around to a new laptop, look out for one that is Linux compatible. Unfortunately many hardware OEMs don’t take the time to provide drivers for Linux, and that causes problems.

If you try googling any of this, you will find a shit ton of christian cope

“Cope” is basically the foundation of most religions.

Mostly because 90% of what’s in The Bible is gobblederemoved, twisted and contorted by a wide variety of opportunistic con men over the course of thousands of years, written in such a vague way as to easily be interpreted to mean whatever they want it to mean.

Similar to the way Trump speaks in vague generalities and word salad, and people hear whatever they want to hear, which of course leads to massive problems when you’re the leader or aspiring leader of the free world.

Coming at him with a personal insult is not the way to go about this.

The correct way is to point out that most Christmas traditions are not rooted in Christianity, but in paganism.

Not surprised. Several years on and I still can’t get Fallen Order working properly.

Isreal showing us what an actual genocide of a captive Muslim population looks like

…are you under the impression that this is the first genocide in the history of the human race?

So you don’t think it’s possible for someone to support a project and simultaneously acknowledge that it doesn’t suit everyone’s use-case?
