It just… lacks features? I couldn’t use ZFS or Btrfs, FDE requires third-party software (veracrypt) and lots of other things that I see as standard system utilities (think ssh, git etc.) are not available on a fresh install. And then you’re supposed to download and install .exe files from the internet? Since microsoft controls what goes in the windows store, that could provide the same experience as your distro’s repositories. But again, most things you want aren’t there, and you can’t even trust the things that are there. For some reason, a billion dollar company cannot curate a software repository of the same quality as the ones maintained by unpaid volunteers in the Linux world.

So yeah, I think it’s just not there yet. Maybe in a few years windows will be a viable alternative for desktop systems.

Then just turn those specific settings off?

Das nenne ich mal Technologieoffenheit

Gute Tirade, allerdings keine Erwähnung der DB. 6/10

Last time I installed Windows, it looked for existing EFI partitions on other drives. I could only get windows to create an EFI partition on its own drive by physically disconnecting all other drives before starting the installation.

I prefer oat milk

I’m curious as to why Firefox is checking for updates, have you configured it to do so? I’ve never seen Firefox do that (and it feels weird to have a program sidestep the update mechanism of the package manager)

Why Win 10?

No boundary and initial conditions?

Und hinterher sind Hybride wie beim E-Kennzeichen auch wieder begünstigt. Alle die jetzt gerne rasen und es sich leisten können tun das dann mit einen neuen Hybrid, dessen Batterie bei solchen Geschwindigkeiten sofort leer ist. Dann sind es effektiv Verbrenner, die aber ein paar hundert Kilo schwerer sind als jetzt.

What kind of machine do you use as a client? And how does performance compare to playing on the server directly?

Don’t forget: Files have execute permissions by default!

With plasma 6, you need

services.xserver.displayManager.defaultSession = “plasma”;

instead of " plasmawayland", since wayland has become the default

Are you starting fresh or did it work with another DE? Might help in tracking down the problem

I just use gzip because it’s built-in

I’m in the EU. How do I download movies I purchased on Amazon?

There’s no shame in dual booting. Moving all your non-gaming stuff away from windows is a big step in the right direction.

AFAIK there is no netflix app on linux and browser playback is limited to 720p. And if you’re looking to avoid your TVs bloated, ad-ridden spyware OS I see no point in using microsoft’s bloated, ad-ridden spyware OS instead.

Idk, the whole “Megacorp is forced to do reasonable thing, but will still only do so in regions where the law applies” should further encourage people to move away from all their crap.
