The other day it rewrote a registry key that prevented these pop ups.

This is what drove me away. There are like 7 people that figured out how to make these pop-ups disappear and Microsoft invested money to “patch” that “error” to ensure they were forced to continue seeing these ads.

Why would they do that when people use this one all the same?

Plenty of other places to upload images. I think catbox.moe is a popular one.

Haha, should have known you can’t post that shit around here.

But I agree, I use Brave and it’s awesome! They even have a private LLM!

The poor UI and lack of polish has been a big problem in design communities for a long time

I dunno what to tell you except that it’s not a problem now.

For all the deserved shit that Windows gets, it “just works” without ever needing to touch config or a terminal.

Most people don’t need to use anything other than a browser, which works fine.

I can’t see Reddit anymore

A nice looking UI with good fonts, and a clean interface.

Pretty much anything beats Windows in that regard.

The ability to run random Windows applications with minimal fuss.

I mean if you REALLY can’t find a FOSS alternative, Bottles has been extremely successful and easy for me…

All without needing to use the terminal

This is the biggest hangup for me. Even if there is a GUI, most instructions will send you into the terminal nonetheless.

NO VERIFIED SOURCES ONLY OUTRAGE

Better question is “why not”?

HOW DARE YOU ROWLING IS LITERALLY MURDER

Uhhhh well maybe you’re privvy to some insider information you’d like to share? Because they’ve announced no such intention.

Yes but you can literally have “known supported hardware” without literally building a “ground up Linux machine”.

That’s cool but probably unnecessary. The vast majority of hardware works fine.

I definitely opted for an AMD GPU in my new gaming rig specifically to run Linux/ChimeraOS, and hopefully one day SteamOS.

When you get around to a new laptop, look out for one that is Linux compatible. Unfortunately many hardware OEMs don’t take the time to provide drivers for Linux, and that causes problems.

Not surprised. Several years on and I still can’t get Fallen Order working properly.

So you don’t think it’s possible for someone to support a project and simultaneously acknowledge that it doesn’t suit everyone’s use-case?

I’d rather buy it than spend hours and hours downloading and failing to unpack it for unknown reasons.

But I’m not going to spend more than like 10 minutes trying to make it work. If it takes longer than that, it’s just a shit game that doesn’t deserve my money. Too many other perfectly good games to spend my time playing to fuck around with all of that.

Someone buys an expensive car. They say “I cant use the railway!” Are you going to tell them they’re wrong?

Yes. Because they are.

We dont know if they live next to a railway line. They’re also heavily invested in the car and unlikely to pay out for rail tickets.

None of which indicates they “can’t use the railway”. It may not be their preferred travel method, which is fine (in the metaphorical sense), but to say they “can’t” use the railway is simply untrue.

OP said “the software and driver support isn’t there”.

Someone replied and corrected them to explain the software and driver support does in fact exist.

OP replied to say that what he actually meant was that it didn’t support the specific software and driver they wanted to use.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable conversation.

Yet another great reason to Pirate
