My god, you call yourselves “nerds”, while you’re absolutely baffled when someone knows more about some specific niche of a niche.

Echo-chamber for fanboys.

There are many communities oriented specifically around privacy and Windows.

Apparently nothing, since one of the aggressively incorrect Linux fanboys has told me it’s impossible. Unless…

Lmao, that’s not what “factually correct” means.

Edit: I’m not defending Windows. I’m just annoyed by annoying people spreading misinformation and assuming that just because they’re not capable of achieving something - nobody is. Lack of knowledge and dumbassery.

Weird hill? You quoted my comment trying to gotcha me, then painting yourself into a corner and essentially walking back on your “argument”.

My original comment stands, there’s nothing Linux can offer me that Windows already doesn’t. That includes “Privacy” as I am in control over that with my setup and Windows. I do not care what you ‘think’ about it, I KNOW that.

Why are you having an aneurism over this, why is it so difficult to grasp this simple concept?

From “absolutely cannot” to “unless” in one comment. That was fast.

Yes.

No, YOU cannot. I can, as well as many other people can. You’re just displaying your IT illiteracy.

Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. I’d be willing to deal with the downsides of Linux, provided the very core things I do on a PC works. But I have a few things that I have very little wiggle room on.

Yep. Also true.

I’m capable of doing that myself, thanks.

The real problem for me is that there’s nothing Windows can’t do for me that Linux can. So even with a dual-boot setup I just get too lazy to switch, and end up using Windows exclusively.

Too old for that shit

Why you ask? You don’t trust my technical ability to look things up and try shit out?

Great contra-argument to “this doesn’t run on Linux”. Some of you are insufferable.

The fact is, if my favourite game doesn’t run on Linux, Linux is dead to me.

Similarly to some software that has no direct alternatives.

Which sucks.

Yeah, good choice. Next time please don’t waste everybody’s time with bs misinformation and don’t click that “post” button. Thanks in advance.

My dude, that’s not what you said in the top comment.

You’re perpetuating a bullshit myth about carbs making you fat, which is pure nonsense.

Now, when you’re called out, you’re adding all these asterisks.

Who said anything about calories? Of course it’s about calories. You said carbs are reason people get fat.

Can you differentiate between “carbohydrates” and “calories”?

So you’re either saying that “food makes you fat”, which is a real genius moment, or that “carbohydrates make you fat” which is simply false.
