How UI degrades over time.

Top (Windows 95): great contrast, obvious shapes. Instantly readable.

Middle (Windows 11): shapes are still self-explanatory, but contrast is gone.

Bottom (Windows 11 Insiders): what am I even looking at? The only shape I can understand here is the Run button. Barely visible, though.

Then, on the left, there’s another something that says Run and has an icon. What is it? A window title? Another button? Why does it have to say Run twice?

250 million laptops.
Two hundred and fifty million win10 laptops have been "made landfill" by windows11.

Windows 11 doesnt work, has handcuffs, is designed to spy and report, is crammed with AI, and rhe CEO saidcrecently all core functions ate broken, its written by AI.

Ram prices ate skyrocketing, malware and viruses exploding.

Nazis taking over government, led by tech Bros.

Its time.

@kevinrns @grumpy_website It's time to make #Linux Just Fucking Work. There are many, many reasons people will not switch to Linux or don't stick with it if they try it. It's a lot more than just "how do I install it?" and Linux aficionados need to learn to be a lot more fucking helpful to newbies. Documentation needs to be better. Things need to stop requiring arcane command line usage (and don't try to tell me they don't). There's a lot of work to be done for Linux to become popular.

This reads like it was posted in 2000s.

It's now more than ever easier to install Linux, it's more simple to maintain, it's easier to install things via package manager.

I would argue it's easier to use than Windows if you grab the right distro.

I don't miss having to faff about in the registry editor & dealing with hidden settings that I have to add to actually change.

The software I left behind in Windows 10 is not missed.

Just reads like a salty salty post from the past.

Also, long live the command line.
