Windows has broken on me once again, I can no longer open up steam as it decides that it'll open up in a random 3rd monitor I don't own / have. I've tried many different things to fix the window and nothing.

I guess this is the time I need to download and dual boot Linux for my games because fuck you microslop. (Also yes I will move 100% over when I can).

Meanwhile, during my vacation in Italy.
From Windows user to Linux community member...
Today we turned an old Windows user into a member of the Linux community.

Gotta love it when Windows Update forces itself on your PC, only for the update to go so spectacularly wrong that you can't get to the login screen and attempting to use automated system recovery fails to even write the log file about what it didn't accomplish. This basically confirms we're not going to use Microsoft products on anything that's actually important to us, and despite having a Windows license for this mini PC we're seriously tempted to wipe it and install Linux anyway.

And to the inevitable tech bro replies: we're already comfortable running Arch Linux as our daily driver. We just kept a low power Windows install around for a couple of utilities that are more convenient to run on Windows.

#Linuxwesen #Fuckwindows Ich finde das richtig richtig gut, dass sich momentan sehr viel im Thema weg von Winfuck bewegt. Der Umstieg zu Linux ist schlimmstenfalls etwas ungwohnt, dann aber geht die Spaßkurve ziemlich steil auf.

Was würdet ihr sagen ist die beste #linuxdistribution für alte Laptops (i5 6.gen, 8gb ram, gtx 960).
Ich glaube von mir selbst aus hätte ich #Linux mint installiert, aber vielleicht probiere ich auch mal #fedora
Es muss wirklich nur für Libre Office, browsen und ab und zu mal Streaming reichen.
Aktuelle habe ich Ubuntu drauf, aber das funktioniert nicht so gut und ich glaube mit anderen #distros könnte es besser laufen.

I was so worried about getting a Windows game to run on Linux. Turns out, that was the easiest thing ever. I'm so glad I made the move from Windows when I did. There are hardly any impossible hurdles when you're trying to get things working.

Second time in 2 months I've woken up, looked at my laptop, and discovered that sometime overnight, Windows decided to update itself and restart. Without my permission.

I *thought* I had it set to always ask me first, but I guess maybe Microsoft changed my setting for me, sometime in a previous upgrade?

There are so many reasons I've gotta get off Windows, but this one is fucking infuriating. 😡

Why did i change to Linux? For freedom.

When win 7 was new everything seemed to be as I WANTED. I could change settings and uninstall things as i wanted.

Then win 10 came i was sceptical but still there was the old interface and options deep down some where.

And now Win 11...i can't even decide what parts of my OS i want to keep and to uninstall. With forced AI slop and online accounts win 11 is not for ME, i have become their product...

Not any more!

Ich bekomme gerade #Linux auf den alten HP. Gleich habe ich nen neuen, alten Arbeitslaptop. 🥳

Me ofrezco voluntario para ayudar a cualquier persona que decida instalar Linux en su equipo con la intención de liberarse del yugo de Microsoft. Lo que empezó como hartazgo va a acabar como una cruzada.

I'm actually quite happy to have full control over my laptop again. Many people would have probably thrown it away (it became too slow, memory problems, kept crashing, six years old,...) and bought a new one, again with the same old shit on it.
By removing Windows and installing Linux now it runs like a new one again. And with much more privacy and without supporting immoral tech billionaires. #FuckWindows #Microsoft #Linux #OpenSource

Hehe, het ging behoorlijk vlotjes. Alle drivers weer tip-top, een gigantische hoop rotzooi weg, de rest netjes overgezet, zelfs een swap-partitie aangemaakt voor als ik weer met onnozele insektenfilmpjes zit te klooien want maar 8GB RAM, en het dingetje snort tevreden en draait weer als nieuw.😊 #MeHappy #FuckWindows #Linux

I’m stuck with Windows on some machines, but I’ve been gradually switching to Linux Mint, great experience so far. Highly recommend, especially with recent AI-driven changes being forced on us #fuckwindows #linuxmint #linux https://www.howtogeek.com/why-linux-mint-is-the-best-windows-11-replacement/

@lemgandi Have you tried booting Linux from a flashdrive so you can recover files? Booting to Linux allows it to be the system issuing commands instead of Windows, so you may be able to still access documents and save them to a drive or something. You may be able to get a copy of the hard drive once you can use the computer normally. Windows can't read some Linux files because they don't support it, but Linux can read (all?) windows files I believe. Good luck!

I stopped playing Terraria when I switched from Windows to Linux because when played on the TV screen (preferred way) the visuals would lag or bug out and on the computer it was doing this weird hyper textured thing. Fast forward a year and I tried to play just to see if it fixed and, as most Linux users would guess, it was.

When something's broke on Linux, just keep updating, wait a while, and chances are it'll be fixed. Still better than Windows <3

Ich habe meiner Ü80 Oma vor ein paar Wochen auf ihrem neuen PC #Linux (#zorinos) installiert. Hintergrund war, dass sie ständig Probleme mit Windows un dessen dessen Update-Meldungen und Dark Design Patterns und so hatte. Hatte ihr dann noch Picasa 3 in Wine installiert und sie ist damit in den Urlaub.
Habe schon das schlimmste befürchtet, aber keine paar Tage später sendet sie fröhlich bearbeitete Bilder und an Weihnachten hat sie mir jetzt erzählt, dass sie schon selbst damit Sachen mit ihrem Scanner gescannt hat und ähnliches.
Ich bin total Baff. (fast) Alles funktioniert einfach.
Ich liebe #Linux. Es kann so einfach sein. Keine Abofallen. Keine nervigen Popups. Keine verzweifelten Anrufe mehr, weil Oma irgendwas mit onedrive angeklickt hat und Dateien weg sind.

Prie įstaigų prisijungiu naudojant el. bankininkystę, o vienintelis būdas prisijungti prie jos yra fizinis kodų generatorius, kiek vienam bankui po atskirą 😅 uždarius banko sąskaitą ir ateityje vėl atidarius, seno kodo generatoriaus naudoti negali, turi pirkti naują už 25 eurus.

O dokumentus pasirašau naudojant USB sertifikatą, norėtųsi linux palaikymo, nes dabar tik dėl šito dalyko turiu laikyti Windows VM 🤦‍♂️

What if Microsoft's new OneDrive auto-backup shenanigans are a means to get Recall data on the cloud?
Doesn't it make sense now?

The only things keeping me on Windows are Adobe (fuck Adobe) and game compatibility, but even then people have found ways to get DCS World and Microsoft Flight Simulator to run on Linux distros.

I have no brand loyalty. I am a creature of the night, roaming every slope the snowy ranges beyond. Ones populated by feline transfems with glasses and special interests to spare.

I know I can come across as a Very Cranky Kitten but if you'd like to learn how to navigate and install any Linux distro I would be perfectly happy to help you however I can! Letting me know your needs (gaming? art? writing? communication?), level of tech expertise and comfort (automatic updates? etc), needs and workflow, I can almost certainly help you choose and install something!

It's been about a week since I dumped windows and moved to Linux full time.... It's night and day compared to last time I tried 10 years or so ago. There is simply no way I'm going back.
