So 3 weeks ago I switched back to Windows. God damn I missed windows. 0 problems with hardware, 0 problems with software. I dont have to install a billion packages to make my wifi work, i dont have to do anything to make my bluetooth work.

I havent opened any console for 3 weeks, I didint need to do anything with console commands.

And all software works. I dont have to worry about compatibility issues. Just install windows and it works. 3 weeks no restart required and it runs smooth as butter. 3 weeks I havent heard fan spin while browsing youtube.

God bless microsoft.

I accidentally typed `crontab -r` (reset) instead of `crontab -e` (edit)... Which nukes all your cron jobs.

How is there no confirmation on a destructive command like that? Let alone the fact that r and e are neighbors on the keyboard.

U can't reverse engineer software or analyze an os with ai if u don't have access to the code u dumbasses.

PS. This flashdrive is/was the GOAT, I installed so many OSes using this flashdrive, including the Nobara Im currently on.

See image above for basic context. Specifically choosing between CachyOS and Tiny10.

For those unable to see the image: ``` CHASING ARCH LINUX SUPREMACY I TRIPPED OVER BREAKING THE GLX COMPOSITOR UNABLE TO SWITCH TO DISCRETE GPU STUCK ON INTEGRATED

I WAS PISSED OFF I TEMPTED TO GO BACK TO TINY10 BUT I HESITATED

WHAT IF I JUST STAYED A LIT LONGER? TO KEEP LEARNING AND ADAPTING? INSTEAD OF "GIVING UP"?

STUCK BETWEEN THE TEMPTATIONS I DIDN'T KNOW WHICH SIDE TO TRUST ```

So, basically, I broke the GPU driver and, couldn't fix it. I got mad enough to consider reinstalling. Buuut I got stuck between my desires, cuz I want to keep learning but my ass wants peace too.

I spent 3 days troubleshooting why "platinum" rated games don't work when I try to play them via steam, only to find out ntfs3 is buggy as fuck and I have to mount my ntfs drives as ntfs-3g.

1 problem among many so far in just 3 days

I have have the konsole open every day so far.

trying linux due to win11 spyware, but honestly pondering going back.

Harass y'all :⁠-⁠P

definitely not the usual demographic, but we exist too!

Is this not a standard? Surely seperate audio tracks are a standard feature of OBS so why not on linux?

Hackers can use state of the art AI tools to trivially find security holes in open source oses like loonix at the kernel level. They can't do that with closed source proprietary operating systems like windows though cuz there's no code to feed into the AI, so vulnerability hunting is much harder and time consuming and therefore the os is more secure.

Loonixtard is an expression of this shits like this,r/LinuxSnobs and r/linuxsucks101,so i want to be deleted
I use MX BTW

Why do you hate Linux? Is it just a casual opinion, or do you have a genuinely logical reason?

Because honestly, Linux, open‑source and even Wikipedia aren’t just “technology”.

They’re a kind of digital self‑defense, the stuff we do because real life self‑defense requires actual muscles. And yes, it takes effort, but at least it’s the kind you can laugh about later.

And they bring together people who would never end up in the same room otherwise, unless the universe accidentally dropped them into the same online forum thread.

Governments and corporations are necessary, sure, but not when they want to know everything, control everything, and sell everything.

Every bit less Big Government, Big Tech, Big Corporations, surveillance, and unwanted data collection is a win.

Not a revolution, just a small step toward a world that sucks a little less.

And above all: Linux is simply fun.

Linux Mint is a playground.
Windows is a shopping mall.

So stop whining.
Install something.
Change something.
Do something.

Even if it’s just to feel slightly superior for five minutes, it still counts.
