Tag windows

I'm a long-time Linux user, and I've started using Windows 11 for work and… It's basically fine? There are no adverts in it that I can see. Multi-monitor support works. Lots of the deeper settings still retain their Win98 look & feel. Window snapping isn't quite as advanced as Wayland, but quite acceptable. About the worst thing I can say is that it moans my 40W USB-C charger isn't powerful enough. But it charges well enough. Doesn't seem remarkably different from XP TBH.

Attached: 1 image I was just in the middle of typing something and #Windows11 popped up a box about restarting for updates that stole focus. I was typing and pressing space clicked the button to restart so now I’m sat waiting for it to finish as it interrupted what I’m doing Piece of shit operating system #Microsoft #Windows #Fail #ShittyUX

This is the single simplest example I’ve seen of the core difference between Windows and Linux :)

Using popular things is sucky. When I have an issue with macOS or Windows, search results are dominated by SEO'd junk articles with little to no information. When I have an issue with Linux, search results are usually awesome and get me directly to the juicy information.

Breaking: Mars becomes the second planet that has more computers running Linux than Windows.

Want to see the difference between Windows 10 and Linux? Install dual boot on a Core i3 laptop. Let people choose which one works better for their needs. #opensource #linux #freesoftware @gknauth @rmtux @opensourceway
