I thought it was one of the original peepys at first.

Kannste machen, aber zumindest hat Google Trump noch keinen Goldbarren geschenkt, meines Wissens nach.

Es gibt noch weitere Alternativen: Gebrauchtes Gerät mit LineageOS und F-Droid oder z.B. ein Fairphone mit /e/OS.

Username totally checks out.

Sorry, good write-up, but what's wrong with your S-key?

You're pointing to my colleague?

What's this from?

Maybe, I can't really comment on what she did or "deserves" for it. I just know she made some transphobic remarks in the past, which is messed up. But there's still a difference between someone with a twisted world view and Trump/Putin who actually incarcerate and sponsor torture of people.

However, the discussion was on whether something is "harmful" or not and you may actually argue that her BS doesn't physically "harm" anyone either, if you try to make that point.

Well, the recovery argument really only checks out when there are recent restore points made and a recovery partition is present, which is not the case in every or even most Windows configs, otherwise you're SOL anyway.

Often times even those failed on me when Windows had shat itself and told me it can't fix the issue and needs a restore medium, on which I then manually had to /fixboot and /rebuildBCD from the console. That's not any more feasible for the average user.

I think installing Linux is definitely a hurdle, but you could usually find someone or a shop to do it for you or help you.

Otherwise, with all the new random prompts and welcome screens in Windows, I think any Linux system will stay out of the users way much more and let them work on their stuff without distractions.

Sure, Linux troubleshooting is bad for the average user, but you can also get help with that and Windows forums are bloated with trash replies and not any better quality-wise (same with Android nowadays, unfortunately).

Real talk now, I know there are use-cases where Windows is mandatory unfortunately. Video editing and civil engineering/architecture are two good examples.

Maybe switching to Mac is an option, but whether that's any better is debatable.

However, most people I know that suffer from these issues are in neither field of work and aren't necessarily even hardcore gamers. Yet they don't even want to try anything else.

I've also had some difficulties fully switching to Linux a decade ago, but nothing that couldn't be solved or I couldn't abstain from (e.g. modern games, back in the day).

All it takes is the will not to be bullied by a corporation at home every day.

Oh, now I understand. They were just missing a comma between "off" and "lemmy", super sweet! :)

Technically, the title doesn't say "first", but yeah, kind of. :)
