But you haven't clicked yes on any of the offers yet...

Let's set up your subscription to your own hardware! Continue / remind me later?

Would you like to back up your folders to OneDrive?
It would be a shame if something were to happen to your files!

Without windows and macos, we would all be divided on what is the better distro, but thanks to shitty corpo trash, we can unite to hate them together. Fuck windows!

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

Ubuntu could have taken windows spot

[-] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

They are nowhere near close to windows

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Amazon based search results integrated in the Unity dash beg to differ. Canonical has a history of being shitty.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

There was backlash, they removed it and never tried anything similar since. But I'm with you on that, the idea was insane and if they pull anything like that again, I'll be switching away from ubuntu immediatly.

There were a few good lenses for Unity, like the porn one.

Well. in the modern day, there's Ubuntu 22.04 and up with their insistence on snaps for many otherwise native apps. For example, Firefox as a snap and taking anywhere from 30 seconds to up to 2 minutes to launch when you first open it.

I used Ubuntu for years, pretty much from 16.04 all the way up to 22.04 but that was a line for me and I ditched it for Manjaro. The experience has been much better overall.

Snaps should be for applications that may not receive updates on current systems or have a hard dependency on old libraries for some reason. Things like Spek come to mind. To use if for something like Firefox, and not only use it, but insist on it to the point you can't install the native version without ridiculous workarounds... it's absurd. And on top of this, it's especially dumb because flatpak already existed prior to snap, but as usual Canonical had to be special instead of working with community standards.

You WILL set up Cortana or you WILL be put through the Setup Wizard

My wife started joking about " if I update it at this point it's gonna brick it" and I laughed so hard because she's not even an IT person

[-] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Due to all the registry and group policy changes I've made to decrapify Windows, I'm legitimately worried that every major update will brick my install. Luckily so far they've only make it worse in the ways that Microsoft intended.

"New device detected: mouse. Please wait…"

But the mouse is already working dude.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

At least it doesn't make us restart afterwards anymore.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

"Mouse movement detected, please restart for changes to take effect."

Anyone remember the early Windows 10 update that booted back up with a black screen that said "Don't Panic"?

That was the most panic inducing moment I've ever had with any PC.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I remember reading a post from some person who struggled with hallucinations and was absolutely creeped out when that large, semi-ominous text appeared on their laptop screen out of nowhere lol. Then again, this was on r*ddit, 97% chance they were making it up for upvotes.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm (well, I like to think I'm) a very stable person, and it freaked me right out.

Boss/teacher: Is your project ready to present yet?

Linux user, still tweaking colors and theme options in their DE after 4 years: Let me finish setting up my device!

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

I wonder what I’ve said no to more all-time - Microsoft’s spy- and bloatware or the YouTube tv free trial.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Yeah but have you had these new ads for 4 years?

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

"Let's check this one off the list." Bitch I only installed you to play The Void. One more peep out of you and you're derezzed.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

The Void

Why though? That looks like an XP era game. Does it not work with proton?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Ran into a game breakinf bug on linux. Maybe they patched it by now, but I doubt it.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Guess that's how it is

Jesus, I don't miss that shit. Now, it has to be something way the hell out in left field to not be picked up and installed silently. linux-firmware ftw

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I admit to being old and out of touch, but why is this meme a sandwich?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

The original meme template, to my knowledge, was something along the lines of "People be like "Subway sucks". Bro, you made the sandwich." and then it was tweaked a little, tweaked a little more, tweaked a little more and we ended up with this and even more absurd versions.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

A while ago I saw this meme about the exact experience you're having right now. We've come full circle lol.
