Go to hp website and download crapware thats gonna search for drivers for you. Make sure to install symantics bullshit, amd catalyst bullshit, hp battery bullshit and other useless crap too.

Meanwhile linux boots to a perfectly running computer on a first time with no icons in the tray.

You forgot the part where you have to look up what to write in the terminal whenever you want to do something, but I forgive you, it’s easy to forget something you need to do daily.

You take the mouse and do clicky clicky. Luckily theres usually one control panel on linux in contrast to three more and more legacy versions in windows where you need to go three levels deep in order to change the local ip address.

On the other hand, it takes only four letter and hitting enter for me to update everthing installed on my pc so not that hard to memorize a few commands.

If you have to do that to install anything, it’s either always your package manager or something that can be copy-pasted from the included installation guide.

You don’t even need the terminal in most cases. You have GUIs. Simple ones.

I’d rather have to type a line than struggle with installing 10 pieces of unnecessary bloatware individually

I literally click one button and it starts the entire automated update process. The only interruption is asking for a password

You probably never used Linux. Or you used it 20 years ago.
Show threadKecessaSep 2, 2023
Last time was… Oh… 4 months ago, before my RPi was put in storage?
Show threadRustmilianSep 2, 2023
RPI is ARM not X86_64.
You really think that’s a proper equivalent?
Try Windows on ARM and regret it.

Don’t hurt your back with that goalpost my man!

Don’t hurt yourself trying to comprehend the difference between ARM & x86_64 my man!

You realise the comment I was replying to was “I bet you never used Linux or you used it 20 years ago” and I simply replied to that and you’re the one who decided to shift the conversation to talk about ARM vs x86/64 and their compatibility with other OS… Right? You realize you derailed the conversation?

RIGHT?

Show threadRustmilianSep 3, 2023

Bruh, nobody here is talking about using Linux on an ARM device. You realize your reply is completely irrelevant to the conversation… Right?

RIGHT?

Show threadKecessaSep 3, 2023
No one except you is talking about using Linux on specific hardware and I was replying to a question after I talked about having to look up what to enter in the terminal, which is the same experience no matter if isn’t ARM or x… God damn, how do you manage to tie your shoelaces in the morning?

Imagine thinking the terminal is something to be forced into.
Show threadRustmilianSep 2, 2023

First off, you really don’t need the terminal if choose to avoid it. You can get by just fine with a GUI package manager included in the “user-friendly” Linux distros; which is essentially a graphical app store that handles all installs, uninstalls, updates & system updates for you with a point and click.

Second :
Tab key, Auto completion, command highlighting, man pages, TLDR pages, and so on.

You forgot whan the upgrade of the drivers and bloatware goes wrong on windows… What a great experience of “simplicity”

It seems like alottaaaaaa people haven’t used windows in the past several years. Built in AV is pretty much king on windows. Almost all drivers auto install even Nvidia albeit not the latest nvidia sometimes. Ten has built in battery options. You’re speaking about a prebuilts. Windows 10 is a great OS, it’s hilarious how people attempt to pretend it’s not.

I installed windows last month, it took nearly half an hour for it to install when Linux installs in 5m on the same exact device. Linux doesn’t need AV, I don’t even think Windows “needs” AV software. Automatically installing drivers won’t work if your WiFi card is unsupported like others have mentioned. Nvidia drivers will auto install on Linux too.

Windows 10 is a great OS, it’s hilarious how people attempt to pretend it’s not.

Nobody said it wasn’t, we just don’t ignore it’s downside when looking at the whole picture. Also Windows 11 is objectively worse than Windows 10.
