      Imagine think it isn’t…

      I feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t realize it yet.

        Buddy, I’ve been using Windows 10 since its release in 2015. In spite of Windows’ quirks, Microsoft’s shittiness sometimes, and gasp having to pay for it, 10 is a fine operating system. I’m not nearly the kind of person who flops on the floor kicking and crying anytime a new piece of software or hardware is created. I loved the Wii U, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Windows 7 and 10, and I give Microsoft Edge the credit it’s due for where it’s pretty decent. I defend the flawed Windows Vista and 8 as important in-betweens on the path to better OS’s. Windows 11 on the other hand… still kinda sucks. Because I try to be fair in all things.

        Speaking of being fair in all things, Linux doesn’t function as well as Windows and has many more problematic quirks-- some of them quite laughable-- and that’s the truth. Android (which is not Linux) is also a mess, but at least it doesn’t struggle with its hardware.

    No shit I just had a nightmare last night that my computer installed W11 by itself against my will and it’s the first and scariest nightmare I’ve had in years.

          It’s the best OS for playing games (when debloated) and for casual computer users who don’t wanna spend OSX money.

          Linux is catching up on the games front, but has no signs of being good for G-Ma and Pops in the near future.

              I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

              Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

              There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

    Worst punishment I ever had was getting my girlfriend a Sony Vaio laptop with Windows ME and Wireless-b. Constant drops from the wireless router.

    My girlfriend got a new PC and asked me if she should upgrade to windows 11 and I responded with “I guess?”

    I will never forgive myself for what I unknowingly inflicted upon her.
