#deletewindows — Public Fediverse posts

🔑 Linux is the key to a modern prison cell that is Windows 11 (courtesy of Microslop) 〽️

Great many things (that can be classified as abuse against the user) start to happen leaving "Spydows 11" machine unattended.

Josh Risser of The Infographics Show delivers another to the point info smack.

Windows has fallen in its marketshare quite a bit - yet it would be for the best of all humanity for it to drop much more 'eh.

@stux @torvalds I totally agree. I have to use Windows 11 for a couple of pieces of software. I am always amazed by how poor Windows is. I have so many problems with Windows, but very few problems with Linux. I guess with enough marketing and monopoly power, you can keep people using such a poor product. Thank you to all the people who develop and support Linux. #DeleteWindows #linux

🐧 Linux adoption LEVEL-UP is ongoing 💹

◉ Desktop / laptop: find a personally solid Linux & roll with it 😎 ("Best Linux" is the one fitting YOU. 'Nun more to it)
> Installation NO-GO? Get a Linux-ready PC from likes of Tuxedo Computers (Europe) & System76 (US)
◉ Handheld / gaming: Steam Deck (also emulation & non-Steam games!)
◉ Mobile: Jolla's C2 phone / Sailfish OS - a ready googleless alt that many have found a new daily driver

Times 'o liberation 🌞

What do YOU think? Considering Linux? :thinkhappy:

Einziger mir ersichtlicher Grund, warum ich #Linux parallel zu Windows installierte war WISO Mein Geld.

#Hibiskus kommt da zwar in dem Umfang nicht ganz ran, ich komme damit aber scheinbar gut zurecht. Von daher könnte ich jetzt #DeleteWindows. Zunächst werde ich aber mal MeinGeld kündigen.

Windows to Linux victories ✌️ 📈

"I just switched to Linux and i feel like i got a new PC.

Linux just fixed a lot of problems i had on Windows. For example my Steam dl speed on Windows sucks hard, 15MB/s max and stuttering.

I thought my SSD just dying cuz i always had that issue on both win10 and 11.

But after installing Nobara Linux i got surprised .. dl speed 60MB/s without stuttering.

Games also run much better which is weird".

::: LINUX IN THE WILD - "Weird Linux benefits" :ablobcatrave:

The OP stated:

"What I notice with Linux. I get somehow better audio like its more clear and better sound. I don't know how but I'm 100% sure I get better sound.

Some native Windows games I swear work even better on Linux and it's more stable for me.

There is also one weird thing that I can't explain but my eyes hurt less about 70%.

For some reason on Windows my eyes are burning even if I use the same apps and everything but still the issue is there."

So, what do YOU think? Had similar experiences after moving on from Windows to Linux? :thinkhappy:

FEDORA LINUX 39 is stepping up to the GAME! :fedora: 🎮 :linux:

Release 39 of this top Linux OS will boost something called "vm.max_map_count" - to make Windows-only games further fly on Linux.

The goal is to match the ways of Valve's gaming marvels SteamOS / Steam Deck.

::: GAMER? Fan of HALO? Thinking Linux, too?

Halo: Master Chief Collection gets an official playable status 👍

What about EAC & the online multiplayer support, one asks immediately - well, it's covered :ablobcatrave:

Delightful news for Halo fans who wish to finally get rid of Microsoft Spydows.

This was pretty late, of course, but the tide is turning with the aid of Valve's Steam Deck.

::: WINE 8.1 🍷

Wine - enables Linux users to play e.g. games made only for MS Windows.

Wine 8.0 was released a few days back & indeed Wine 8.1 is already out now!

Wine 8.1 ups the default setting to "Windows 10" now (as new Wine prefixes are created).

Previously Wine defaulted on "Windows 7" (which is of course still there to choose) - the gaming itself happens 100% on Linux nevertheless :linux:

Valve (/w its Proton tech on Steam) highly utilize Wine to make more and more people say "BYE BYE, WINDOWS" 👋

::: Linux Mint 21.1 :linux:

The new and minty fresh version of the immensely popular Linux operating system released.

The installation image checking ISO Verification Tool is now baked in for extra convenience!

This is great; more Linux installation procedures should include such verification. Right-click the ISO image, select "Verify" - voilà.

The accent colors are now vibrant! They lift the mood and make Linux Mint more slick and beautiful.

aaahh, sieh mal einer an!
die richtigen nvidia grafiktreiber installiert und schon läuft die CPU wieder super smooth 🥳
jetzt kann ich auch meine steam games zocken 🥰
fehlt eigentlich nur noch das sound setup, dafür muss ich wohl auf eine VM ausweichen 🤷‍♂️
dann #DeleteWindows!!

Heute gelernt: Man kann ungewollt bei Hardware mitgekaufte #Windows Lizenzen zurueckgeben und Geld dafuer erstattet bekommen! 💵 🎉
Die Free Software Foundation Europe gibt Hilfestellung dafuer: https://wiki.fsfe.org/Activities/WindowsTaxRefund
...und hat auch eine Liste von Faellen fuer alle EU Laender zusammengestellt,hier fuer Deutschland: https://wiki.fsfe.org/Activities/WindowsTaxRefund/Germany
Und in Italien hat sogar jemand vor Gericht gewonnen,nachdem Lenovo sich sehr lange besonders unkooperativ zeigte: https://gnulinux.ch/historisches-urteil-lenovo-muss-schadenersatz-zahlen
Die rechtliche Grundlage fuer dieses Vorgehen sind die AGB von #Microsoft: "Durch die Verwendung der Software erkennen Sie diese Bedingungen an. Falls Sie die Bedingungen nicht akzeptieren, sind Sie nicht berechtigt, die Software zu verwenden. Geben Sie diese stattdessen dem Einzelhändler gegen Rückerstattung oder Gutschrift des Kaufpreises zurück."
Wenn ihr eure Geraete schon laenger habt,koennte es zu spaet fuer eine Rueckerstattung sein,aber denkt bitte beim naechsten Kauf daran!Es geht nicht nur um die paar Euro Lizenzkosten,sondern viel mehr auch um den Aufwand,der den Herstellern dadurch entsteht und der sie hoffentlich irgendwann zum Umdenken bewegt,dass ein Opt-Out direkt beim Kauf moeglich wird.
