This is an utter failure of oversight in governance. And likely a misappropriation of government funds.

What a colossally shortsighted decision.

        Sadly I use 11. But seeing this has me pretty spooked and I’m really eyeing the exit rn.

          People say Linux is more difficult, but I find Windows 11 both more difficult to make do what I need it to do and far more stressful because it’s slow, unreliable and prioritizes what Microsoft wants it to do over what I want it to do. Sometimes I pop into a Windows VM but only for particular things. I recommend the move.

            Oh I fully agree. I have experience with arch based distros and in terms of the setup process it was infinitely better than W11. The main hitch is my gaming pc. But I’m likely just gonna slap cachyos on it and move on since it has good nvidia support.

      I switched at the start of the month, with the uncertainty around the economy I finally did my PC upgrade I’d been procrastinating, and - why get a windows license? Just go Linux.

    Hey- all of you who have spent decades talking about how you’re smarter than the ignorant conservatives?

    If you can’t outsmart them, what was the fuckin’ point?

      Conservatives kind of prove that in a lot of ways, power really is the only thing that matters. Smarts mean nothing if you can’t leverage them and use the power you have when you have it. They pursue power for powers’ sake and then use it, even if they do it hamfistedly.
