Windows has it’s upsides imo. My personal problem is that I’m so bad at using it… Set static IP? Traverse down four different GUI applications all the way back to Windows NT -_-
No! Don’t take the fall for what Windows forces you to do. Creating a billion GUI menus for users to get through before reaching what they really want to reach was Microsoft’s choice, not yours.
I switch back to it to play half life alyx which I borrowed, otherwise usually it’s sitting in a virtual machine (its corner)
HL Alyx has no problems running on Linux
First thing I noticed about this photo is that she’s holding her hair away from the ground while putting her mouth right on it. I’m not sure why but that seems funny to me.
maybe getting it out the way so the cameras can see it?
Your logic has no place in the internet. Begone!
That would explain it.
Maybe she’s used to pull her hair back in this position out of habit?
I had to click 4 times over 90 seconds on “sleep” on my work laptop windows 11 machine today before it actually did anything.
A meme can’t be more right.
That’s the AI code at work there.
Every time I’m forced to use Windows it feels like I’m being punished.
It sounds so dramatic and I know people roll their eyes when I say things like that, but it’s absolutely true.
The deeper I’ve gone with Linux over the years the more Windows seems (aside from the obvious privacy concerns and generally being trash corporate citizens) like an intentionally convoluted and overcomplicated mess.
Win11 is like 30% ai code iirc
😬
More like being molested.
After a day at work, forced to use mac, I just have to start my linux machine, even if I do not have anything to do on it, just to feel sane again.
Mac is actually nice to use though… My wife has one and it was my first exposure to them.
As a lifelong Windows user, I recall vividly asking myself “why am I not being abused by random pop ups and an overly complicated process to achieve basic things right now?” over and over while working on her machine.
Plus their graphical interface is a pleasure to work with once you get past some of its quirks. If I wasn’t already happily on Linux I would definitely move to Mac.
It may only be possible to say so because I have not used windows in 20ish years, but I find mac to be completely horrible.
Super slow. Even the arm ones, to switch to the workspace where my vscode windows are takes like 4 seconds, starting bash (I have gone through my bashrc like 10 times) takes several seconds. After a boot it takes minutes before everything is loaded in the settings, meaning some settings are not available directly after boot (why is the settings window modular and dynamic like that?)
The mouse speed and accelleration just feels like I’m stuck in butter. I have made some config change outside of the settings to speed up the mouse, but I have to reboot to make them take effect is insane. Accelleration is suppose to be off, but that disgusting buttery feeling is still there. If I switch to linux it is not.
They had an update where they broke ssh. They fucking broke ssh for like two months. How the fuck am I suppose to work on it?
Not having a proper distinction between left and right opt/cmd/control which makes adapting keyboard layout to your personal workflow hard as shit.
You have to like click everything and random shit grabs the window focus all the time. So many times I have switched workspace or something and it displayed it but the focus is still left on the laptop or something. Randomly you have to click on a window instead of just using a keybind to get there.
Man idk I find Mac at least functions intuitively. Windows is just endless pop ups and pain.
I can’t deal with that picture of Katty Perry kissing dirt.
“I kissed some dirt and I like it…” xD
I use windows at work. even WSL doesn’t make it great…
Half the time, we dont even deploy to windows boxes. They are too expensive haha. Its all Linux cause they are much cheaper and just as powerful. But mostly the cheaper angle. Still wont let us use Linux for development work though…
That’s so weird, tons of people use Linux for dev. Do they say why you can’t?
In my companys case, they said it was an issue with intune compatibility for a good while. I’m hoping to switch off W11 soon!
According to one of our adjuncts: “Windows just works for dev, why are we teaching Linux at all?”
He didn’t last.
Maybe if you develop C# in Visual Studio then Windows does just work best.
Just came back to Debian on my gaming rig after a 4 year hiatus, I’ve missed it.
Performative and dirt-on-lips pilled.
I use arch btw.
Yeah that seems about right. Bunch of things that I wish were better but I am not going back. When I absolutely must there’s a VM for that.
Could a similar meme be made between distributions?
Arch users switching back to Arch after 10 minutes of using Ubuntu:
Alternatively:
Ubuntu users switching back to Ubuntu after using Arch for ten minutes
Or at the very least Debian.
I haven’t tried Arch, the whole idea gives me fever.
It’s really not as tough as it’s made out, try something like Endeavour for all the “Arch” but with some sane defaults. The hardest thing is learning a new package manager, but Arch’s is called pacman and it looks like Pac-Man, so you get extra whimsy!

Anyone after trying Ubuntu. Anyone after trying a tiling manager.
For me, it’s after trying a non tiling WM. I’m too deep into i3 (now Sway) + tmux.

after trying a tiling manager
I like the idea of tiling window managers – I just find it so much less hassle to use tiling keybinds on a stacking window manager …
I can do the exact same thing in gnome without having to config for days lol. Super key right super up. I agree with you!
It would be the “Corporate needs you to find the difference” meme
