    I like Linux, I hate the app names. It’s confusing as hell, especially if you are looking for some app that functions the way you imagine, then they name something weird like Nautilus instead of file explorer lmao.

      For some reason people get all ways extra fabulous when they make open source Software and need a fancy name instead of a great descriptive one…

      Or they could name it atleast nautilus the file explorer or something.

        For me personally, having 5-10 of everything is good. I find what I like the best and you find what you like best. It can make extra work, but if you subtract out all the time I’d spend fighting the windows UI or looking at ads and “recommended content”, I think we may actually come out on the better end of things.

    Don’t worry guys, I know how to fix this. I’ll just create another package manager!! That should do it

        Chocolatey is … meh. Better than nothing I guess. Now WinGet is an official MS tool, not to bad, but not much in the repo either.

        I use chocolatey on Windows when I’m on windows, the slight issue is a lot of stuff just isn’t on it. That’s rare for me on my main OS where everything is on pacman or the AUR.

        Oh I use arch btw.

    Apparently Windows users just want something that never works, is unsupportable, and required re-installation 3 times a year.

    No lie, it’s got to the point that it’s more convenient to use Linux. Windows has become very intrusive with trying to help, privacy issue landmines you have to navigate, it’s not unpleasant to use Windows. It’s just more work to do it.

    Nowadays, knowing nothing of how windows works any more, I am always frustrated if I have to try to use it

    I love simplicity. This is why I use Linux. Its just simpler to get simple Software that does just one thing and that good.

    And I love tinkering with my os.

    The person who made this has never had to deal with Windows driver issues obviously

      This feels like a comment from 1997. Aside from occasionally updating video drivers for a new video game, I can’t remember the last time I had to maintain–much less fix–a driver.

        Oh! Apparently I’m in 1997, then. Remarkable that they have Windows 11, then. I have a machine where the Microsoft provided drivers cause screen blanking when hardware accelerated video plays. Installing the AMD drivers fixes that, but I’ve yet to figure out what the magic sauce is to prevent Windows Update from overwriting part of the drivers that Adrenalin installs. One boot after installing and the machine works great, then the next boot it’ll just be a black screen of death. At least AMD’s installer helpfully makes a restore point.
