I was a poor young man, I refused to pay $100 to put windows on a hard drive I had installed into a hand-me-down desktop.
I found linux and made it work, through thick and thin. As a lazy jackass i somehow got skyrim to work through wine via copied and pasted terminal commands. wintetricks and all, i found it wildly difficult. Playing was almost as thrilling as seeing it work.
I have only ever attempted to make a linux ISO bootable drive through windows that one time, more than ten years ago. My wife was given a laptop with windows 11 installed and I wanted to install firefox.
what, the actual fuck, is “S” mode?
ctrl-alt-t “install that shit”!
A computer should not come with a subscription baked in. That’s trash. The issues i get through linux come from my failure to understand it and/or the walled gardens it hasn’t found its way into yet. The issues I experienced this evening on windows were there by design.
Thank you to all of the homies that make the weird and sometimes uncomfortable linux/ open-source community work. You guys are the shit.
I model all of my UI choices off of old(er) school windows. I have a bar, the menu is left. I was a pirate before anything and I learned on windows. There was a point where it made sense that the world used it, I think that time has passed. I really am such a pleb that hardware issues only effect me if it doesn’t work. In this I guess I am saying that the freedom to abuse and break my hardware is important. I don’t want to sell my soul or be told “no”. install the program, I know it was written for windows. I don’t want a microsoft account.
Edit: my drunk ass had said older(er)
Same lol. The casual observer wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between Windows XP and my Debian install, bar for the fact that I have a search bar in the start menu.
