15-20 years ago I'd regularly find Windows 7 PCs that had stuffed boot drives using the \Windows\Temp folder with corrupt or "could not install, retried" updates. They've improved nothing in all that time. The only thing they've "improved" is the UI, which is at best debatable. I think most people would now be absolutely thrilled to go back to 7's user interface today.

Using Windows at this point is a sign of someone too lazy to try something new, glued to a game run by assholes that won't check a box on their end to allow their anti-cheat to function elsewhere, or completely comfortable in the Windows ecosystem prison system.

Is windows 11 the bug?

I don't get how every windows update they brick a percentage of their user base, and people still haven't considered switching to Linux, or at the very least a mac. This happens every year, sometimes twice a year.

I'm not affected.

You know why.

I'm not affectred, Microsoft said my PC was too old so I tthem to fuck off and don't use their OS anymore.

Bazzite comes formatted with compression and deduplication enabled for its BTRFS file system.

So your games shadercache and prefixes won't eat any extra space. (Compared to Steam OS).

Am a happy Bazzite user for ~3 years now.

That's okay, I have a 1TB disk.

It's not nice for Microsoft to call Windows 11 a "bug". It's true, but it isn't nice...

Hmm I couldn't find anything that large on /etc 🤔

How has Microsoft bollocksed up using SQLite?

0.5 TB. That is insane.

You have X number of OS versions, Y number of different hardware variations, and Z number of applications.

Easy-peasy. What can possibly go wrong?
