Every alternative is worse.

Grew up with programming, Windows, and Visual Studio. That was fine, back then. After Microsoft released Windows 8 I knew this was so stupid and would only get stupider, that I said my next computer will have Linux. Never looked back. It’s not as good as Windows 7 unless you have really specific needs. It’s miles better than Windows 11.

So is the subreddit

he means Russia because that is the country that was banned from the Linux kernel mailing list

the UK, USA, France, Israel and NATO were not banned from the Linux kernel mailing list

the topic of this discussion is people getting banned from the Linux kernel mailing list

hope this helps

There is a compatibility issue too. Every Windows 11 is almost identical, enough for software to run, but Linux encompasses a lot of different systems. Valve makes it work on Ubuntu and then if you’re not using Ubuntu, makes it your problem to go the rest of the way (usually pretty easy) which is a fair tradeoff but also not the plug-and-play you get with Windows. And don’t even mention X11 versus Wayland.

It’s usually not malicious. Hardware is that way by default, and it takes effort to make it not be that way, and then someone still has to write the driver.

Technically all the info you need is inside the Windows driver, it’s just a bit difficult to get at. It’s on us to git gud so we won’t need the cooperation of the hardware companies.

ALSA works better than Pulse Audio. Fite me irl

All the time but then I remember it’s my fault because it’s open source and I am not fixing it either.
