Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I install OSes myself and windows is easy.

    Windows 11 takes foreeeeeever to install on cutting edge hardware. Arch OTA is literally 4 clicks and fast as fuck.

    Build your installer with Rufus and bypass most of the Oobe. Then it's literally a few clicks. You can be at the windows 11 desktop in 10 minutes from USB boot if you know what you're doing. And if you argue that having to know what you're doing makes it harder.... Linux...

    Length doesn't equate to difficulty to me.

    [–] 3laws@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    Oh no no, it takes forever because it's cumbersome, not only because it's slow (which it also is). Having to opt out of 420 different options for telemetry is crazy.

    I followed a guide to remove all that shit from the installer and still had to say no to most of it, and it showed up anyway.

    easier to use

    [–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    I don't get at what you're trying to say.

    [–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    You think "windows is easy", but do you think it is "easier to use" than Linux?

    [–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

    Generally, yeah. That's why I said what I said to you. Not sure where the confusion is.
