- Thats not true and
- I am fully aware that there are 127 flags. That just makes this even sillier because you have so many valid options to disarm the bomb.
Do people not use tab complete?
I think Ill pass on reading that article if theyre going to sell my data to this many “partners”
It seems the zoomers picked up a lot of millenial culture. Which I suspect is because the zoomers were exposed to a lot of our culture from an early age. i.e theyre nostalgic for the same stuff because they also grew up being exposed to that culture when they were little
Also most software is written for that default os and if they ran into most of the common issues linux users do theyd throw it in the bin.
Tbf windows defender is pretty good.

Things dont have to be good to get worse.
The enshittening continues. Why charge people once when you can charge them repeatedly until they decide enough is enough and leave?
Hmm I mean Ive never done it for obvious reasons but maybe? live cds/dvds load the whole OS in RAM and could erase everything but I am not sure about the OS on disk. I could try it in a vm and see what actually happens
How is letting you brick your install with little warning an advantage?
rm -rf / you dont have permission to do that.
sudo rm -rf / [linux dutifully commits sudoku until rm itself is gone]
Back when I used windows regularly instead of sparingly, I cant remember a time when I ever had to go into the registry files or command prompt to fix anything. You might have to install newer drivers or something but effectively do surgery on the dll files etc? Nope. And you have to remember that the average windows user is… not very skilled with computers. Theyre going to need hand holding a lot more than the average Linux user. Which is why windows is more or less designed for the lowest common denominator. And itd be weird if all the effort spent writing stuff primarily for windows didn’t result in an easier experience.
It used to be that the community acknowledged the harm Windows’ dominance caused Linux. Microsoft didnt change. They still leverage their monopoly to harm Linux.
Yes it is a miracle that it ever works. HOWEVER it doesnt really matter to most people why it doesn’t work sometimes. It isn’t fair but the reality is that as far as most people are concerned, their PC is basically a microwave in that they have little interest in how the internals work as long as they work and if they can’t do x or y, they dont really care that it isn’t Linux’s fault. All they see is that they installed this new OS that looks really cool but cant run certain games or run certain software. Now if Linux were popular, it wouldnt be an issue because almost everything would have been written for one distro or another (like android is dominant on phones) but it isn’t. Steam is doing a lot to change things and hopefully Linux is better supported by other companies as well in the future but right now there are still enough gaps that I would be very hesitant about recommending Linux to a heavy gamer unless I knew that they basically waded in the steam ecosystem and the vast majority of their games could be run via proton.
Just how a significant portion of the community wants it. Nice and obtuse.
The problem though is that we are in 2023, a good 32 years after Linux came out. It shouldnt feel like you are in the DOS era. One of the problems that dawns on me is the real issue is a lack of consistency. Sometimes things work great, sometimes they dont. A lot of people arent having the same issues I and many others do which is frustrating because of how the community reacts when someone brings up those inconsistencies. There are a lot of people that dont run into them for one reason or another and all they see is people bitching about from their POV, seemingly nonexistent problems.
It is literally happening with Kubuntu 22.04.
Not unless you use the nightly repository.
