    1. someone complaining about something openly instead of using the proper channels

    I refer you back to my original statement. I was not asking how to do something. I was grousing that basic tasks are extremely user-unfriendly to configure. I’ve fixed it on my computer. That’s not the topic under discussion.

    1. someone suggesting they use the proper channels

    What proper channels? We’re in a post claiming it’s the YOTLD again, because OP apparently doesn’t realise it’s been claimed every year for the last couple decades. I’m posting about why that’s not gonna happen this year either.

    1. they denying that its an issue they can help fix but a general failing of the software/vendor (typical proprietary software-user behavior)

    I could fix it. However, I have no intention of opening a PR and spending what little free time I have contributing to open source (I’ll contribute money, but not my time). Kudos to those who do write and maintain open source, but that’s not for me.

    1. & 5.

    I think you can see how we’ve diverged into entirely different directions already.





  • If minor issues like this bother you while major issues like data collection and ad pushing dont

    As I pointed out, I’m using it because MS is screwing the pooch with those issues.

    you dont want to participate in making linux better by submitting bug reports

    These are known issues, and have been around for more than a decade. They’re not bugs, they’re missing basic features. But sure, go ahead and assume stuff.

    Its very much like owning a house or a ranch. You‘re free of others and can do whatever you like. But you do have to do your own maintenance.

    If you want to go back paying rent for a shoebox apartment, thats your choice.

    It’s probably closer to renting a apartment vs owning a shack (or it was, before said screwing of said pooch). You can upgrade it into a mansion if you want, but that’s not where you start.
