  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Installing OS, 10 years ago:

    Windows: click a couple of buttons enter username and password

    Linux: Terminal hacking, downloading shell scripts from github

    Installing OS today:

    Linux: click a couple of buttons, enter username and password

    Windows: Terminal hacking, downloading shell scripts from github.

    You don't download shell scripts from github for windows. You download batch scripts and exes from random file hosting sites, and they don't even fix your problem.

    Maybe Linux is 10 years ahead. Let's give our windows users some insight about their future:

    Don't remove the French language pack with sudo!

    If you have a 64 bit computer, you gotta delete system32.

    Idk, installing Linux was pretty easy 10 years ago too. Can't comment about anything earlier than that though.

    They are probably like me, thinking that the year 2000 was 10 years ago.

    thinking that the year 2000 was 10 years ago.

    This is patently absurd, 10 years ago was 1994.

    Last week I installed Windows 11 on a new laptop that came with FreeDOS installed. It was a really dreadful experience, I never thought it was this bad.

    • The windows 11 installer couldn't find any hhd partitions or hard drive, while FreeDOS could. After googling for a while I had to download an Intel Rapid Something driver from the manufacturer's website and load it up when installing windows 11.

    • After installing Windows it required an internet connection to proceed but I assume the wi-fi drivers were not installed. USB tethering didn't seem to be working either so I had to continue the setup elsewhere, where I had physical access to the router.

    • I had to skip a lot of things throughout the installer, which kinda shocked me. Office 365 and even games, before I even booted the actual OS.

    • Fully updating Windows took 2 hours. Fresh ISO, gigabit Ethernet connection, nvme HDD. Damn.

    Pretty miserable experience and completely impossible to an unexperienced user.

    My last windows 11 installation took over 7 hours divided over 3 or 4 days, I dont even remember, I'm trying to forget. It was an absolute horror show and indont get why anyone accepts this. If I want to pay and get fucked I'll find an escort, but I have Linux AND a wife.

    Even after finally booting the OS you still have to remove mcafee and cortana with revo uninstaller.

    Actually, after a grueling 7 hours installation journey, i removed those peasky things by tossing an LUKS LVM filesystem over it and using that drive as a secondary drive on my desktop. Fuxk windows
