I feel like there’s a lemmings reference to be made here but I’m tired. Internet, do your thing.

The one you fucking feel like using. God, stop trying to make tribes mandatory.

I think it’s worse. It’s negligence. If their OS works, they don’t care what it does to the rest of your computer.

Windows is literally designed to break multi-boot setups. Funny enough, multibooting on a Mac was never a big problem. Microsoft has more of a reason to cooperate here and they just can’t help themselves.

There are some peculiar machines out there that can misbehave in weird ways when you take windows off them. Unless you bought your computer from Walmart you are probably fine though. Linux has dramatically improved over the years while windows got so much worse. It’s just better now.

Windows is for stupid people at this point who don’t want to learn anymore.

Many monitors have an audio out port in the monitor itself now. Really useful if you have multiple inputs.

There are DisplayPort cables that don’t have the latch if you prefer them.

Africa sounds terrible. You live in a place where they still use VGA? How horrible.

No. You have a barely functioning windows environment when using hirens that’s only useful for very specific things. Linux can boot off a flash drive and do literally anything a full install can do.

Put a distro on a flash drive. Throw the flash drive in a drawer. If computer break, retrieve flash drive. There’s your spare computer. Now try doing that with windows.

I have a few users on fedora atomic distros. Found out one hadn’t been getting updated since version 36 for some reason lately.

Dude update your GIMP

That doesn’t work for me. We tried using it first and switched to Omeprazole.

I’m pushing 40 and my knees are just fine. My esophageal sphincter on the other hand is very angryface. Omeprazole helps but it’s very much thrown in the towel.

Ugh, kill me.

What Mac has ever had that RGB nonsense?

My mother is like this but worse. Some sort of tech in the house doesn’t behave as she expects? It’s obviously caused by that time I used it 3 months ago. It doesn’t matter that it worked just fine between then and now, everything is my fault.

I can’t wait until she’s finally dead.

Same question for me. I’ve never heard this.

Dude, Microsoft has gotten really bad lately. I upgrades the SSD in a surface pro X I’m giving to a friend. I went to use Microsoft own recovery image for this device and it doesn’t fucking work. It literally kept erasing the flash drive when you tried to boot off it. You can’t use the generic win11 ARM image either because it’s a surface product and they can’t complete the install that way.

I ended up having to clone the old SSD with DD into the new one, move the recovery partition to the end with gparted, then use windows reset my pc thing.

The ability to upgrade the SSD was an advertised feature of the surface pro X. You literally cannot use the product they way they sell it to you.

I use Mac with no problems. I use Linux with the occasional fixable hiccup. I want to punch the pope in the fucking throat when I use windows.

Alpine has a simple diskless install process. Nobody else does. Alpine wins.

Does anyone know how we ended up with penguins as the logo? I kinda get the BSD demon “beastie.” Microsoft chose the windows flag/window pane. Mac has an Apple/the finder face. Android is a cute green robot. iOS pretends to be too sophisticated for a mascot so we’ll just say it’s the Apple again.

And yet we somehow got penguins.
