The goose can't say anything because its sound drivers mysteriously stopped working randomly after rebooting.

Anyone who says windows can’t do X isn’t trying hard enough.

We need about 300 ducks in this picture bashing each other because each one thinks it it superior.

Linux - “I can’t hotplug”

Or

Linux - “I can’t do fractional scaling”

Or

Linux - “ so you want secure boot, a graphics card and full disk encryption, well here’s a wiki based on the last version that might work, fuck tpm while we are at it”

They all have their niche and strengths/weakensses

Try running an old binary on Linux.

Circlejerking brings smugness.

Yeah because Linux doesn't have hair pulling dependency issues. I love Linux, but come on folks.

Android with root: lmao uninstall System UI

um ACKSHUALLY you can disable Windows Update competely by setting group policies to disable automatic updates and specify a custom URL for Windows Update and point it to nothing. There a few other local group policies you can configure to further prevent updates, just open the Local Group Policy Editor and go to Computer/Administrative Templates/Windows/Windows Update (or something like that, look for Windows Update under Computer Administrative Templates).

I know this because literally yesterday I had to undo all of that so I could download something from the Microsoft Store (doing this also prevent MS Store apps from downloading)

If this is at the top of my lemmy all, the chances of lemmy going mainstream are slim.

The biggest problem with (GNU/)Linux is just there is no unified platform, and every distribution just wastes time on reinventing the wheel. And if you need to do something more advanced stuff than browsing the web or reading e-mails, you eventually encounter some silly problem where you need to copy random commands you found on the internet, because there's literally no other way to configure anything except some very basic stuff like internet connection settings or wallpaper.

I personally don't see any progress on UX in the last 10-15 years, and some DE's even go backwards (GNOME), where you need to install an extension just to get desktop icons working, which should be a built-in feature.

The only thing that happens to improve UX lately is the fact that you can easily install flatpaks/snaps, so at least developers don't need to waste time to repackage their apps for hundreds of different distributions, and users don't need to hit their head whenever they encounter a dependency error. These flatpaks/snaps are not without their problems of course but still, it's a single step in the right direction.

Unrooted android: uninstall system UI using ADB Shell 🗿

Android pretending to be Linux and not a whole OS running on a crappier version of the JVM.

Man I like Linux, but I find it to much of a hassle for me. Whenever something is broken it can be such a pain to fix.

I still haven't found a fix for my sound. My laptop (Dell XPS 15 9500) has normal speakers and separate subwoofers, but the driver doesn't know it so it only uses the normal speakers. So my audio is so shit compared to windows, no bass at all. The fix I found for the 9510 doesn't work for mine. It sucks, because that is a deal breaker for me.

As a victim of nonstop Windows updates at work, I'm convinced only 10-20% of them have anything to do with real security fixes or important bug fixes. The other 80-90% are some random Microsoft jackasses pushing pointless stuff out so they can say "look boss, I did a thing". MS has always been a crappy software company, but they've become much worse over time as the MBAs have grabbed the wheel.

Seeing so many Linux memes here on Lemmy has made me start to consider Linux in the future.... I can't use it for work, but maybe on an older computer or tablet.

iMac from 2013: I cant update my OS anymore so no more Plex server for you

Arch linux when you compile 400 packages because of updates while youre watching a movie and its still faster than i quick patch on windows.

I can stop update in Windows.

Yank the Ethernet cable out.
