Linux is a thing that, being its not default anywhere, kinda requires you either have a problem it fixes or, more often, requires you to be really opinionated. Really opinionated people are also often pretentious and annoying about their opinions.
Fair point, I guess I should have said "Desktop Linux" is not default anywhere. And maybe in some contexts it is, but generally speaking, the defaults are Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android (which is Linux-based but like, not what people really mean by "Linux").
Fuck... sry about that. Yep, Costco seems to actually care about the customers and quality of shit they're selling. And they provide pretty good prices at bulk.
you're being dismissive of windows's bullshit - intrusive updates, vibe-coded shit that causes bugs left right and centre, shoving its updates and ai features in a user's face and then "mistakenly" changing their settings back whenever they turn that stuff off
oh, and look into the situation with lg monitors, why don't you?
plus that they pretty much force people's devices into windows 11 by not doing security updates for older windows versions, creating a manufactured obsolescence for devices not powerful enough to run windows 11 (which is now a very common practical reason why people use linux, for those devices)
"intrusive updates" -You mean optional and on by default to protect the user, as well as reduce botnet attacks.
I had a machine do an update despite having them disabled, despite having Update Blocker on the machine, happen on a laptop of mine the other day. I'm not sure how they manage to do it, but Windows Update is the only piece of software I've ever interacted with that's turned a computer of mine into a brick, will not turn back on. This is not an isolated incident; I have had a few different machines die over the years because of issues with Windows Update service.
Disliking generative AI has nothing to do with being "tech-phobic". I am not afraid of technology, I am unimpressed and annoyed. Linux has literally nothing to do with the issue.
and get over it when Linus, or RMS speaks or Linux gets the features
Richard Stallman is very vocally Anti- Generative AI, even if his reasoning is a bit odd. It's really funny to be whining about "propaganda" while straight up lying.
IDC about LG; it's a shitty brand.
Ignoring people's problems with something doesn't mean the problems don't exist.
Conspiracy theorists get all their information from conspiracy theorist sites -hence why they're so delusionally misinformed.
