Let's set up your subscription to your own hardware! Continue / remind me later?
Would you like to back up your folders to OneDrive?
It would be a shame if something were to happen to your files!
Without windows and macos, we would all be divided on what is the better distro, but thanks to shitty corpo trash, we can unite to hate them together. Fuck windows!
Ubuntu could have taken windows spot
They are nowhere near close to windows
Amazon based search results integrated in the Unity dash beg to differ. Canonical has a history of being shitty.
There was backlash, they removed it and never tried anything similar since. But I'm with you on that, the idea was insane and if they pull anything like that again, I'll be switching away from ubuntu immediatly.
There were a few good lenses for Unity, like the porn one.
Well. in the modern day, there's Ubuntu 22.04 and up with their insistence on snaps for many otherwise native apps. For example, Firefox as a snap and taking anywhere from 30 seconds to up to 2 minutes to launch when you first open it.
I used Ubuntu for years, pretty much from 16.04 all the way up to 22.04 but that was a line for me and I ditched it for Manjaro. The experience has been much better overall.
Snaps should be for applications that may not receive updates on current systems or have a hard dependency on old libraries for some reason. Things like Spek come to mind. To use if for something like Firefox, and not only use it, but insist on it to the point you can't install the native version without ridiculous workarounds... it's absurd. And on top of this, it's especially dumb because flatpak already existed prior to snap, but as usual Canonical had to be special instead of working with community standards.

You WILL set up Cortana or you WILL be put through the Setup Wizard
My wife started joking about " if I update it at this point it's gonna brick it" and I laughed so hard because she's not even an IT person
Due to all the registry and group policy changes I've made to decrapify Windows, I'm legitimately worried that every major update will brick my install. Luckily so far they've only make it worse in the ways that Microsoft intended.
"New device detected: mouse. Please wait…"
But the mouse is already working dude.
At least it doesn't make us restart afterwards anymore.
"Mouse movement detected, please restart for changes to take effect."
Anyone remember the early Windows 10 update that booted back up with a black screen that said "Don't Panic"?
That was the most panic inducing moment I've ever had with any PC.
I remember reading a post from some person who struggled with hallucinations and was absolutely creeped out when that large, semi-ominous text appeared on their laptop screen out of nowhere lol. Then again, this was on r*ddit, 97% chance they were making it up for upvotes.

Boss/teacher: Is your project ready to present yet?

switch to gnome; customizations are intentionally buried because a huge majority of users don't go very deep w with them.
I wonder what I’ve said no to more all-time - Microsoft’s spy- and bloatware or the YouTube tv free trial.
Heard you loud and clear. Maybe Later it is then.
Yeah but have you had these new ads for 4 years?
i plan to move to linux very very soon but winaero tweaker can take care of most of this stuff in windows
…still insane that it exists at all though. especially with the only options being continue and remind me in 3 days
"Let's check this one off the list." Bitch I only installed you to play The Void. One more peep out of you and you're derezzed.
The Void
Why though? That looks like an XP era game. Does it not work with proton?
Ran into a game breakinf bug on linux. Maybe they patched it by now, but I doubt it.
Significant Bugs: game craches when i try to enter to second sister chamber
Jesus, I don't miss that shit. Now, it has to be something way the hell out in left field to not be picked up and installed silently. linux-firmware ftw
they were the worst updates because it guaranteed it was installing some bullshit you didnt want
Candy Crush, Ticktok, Clipcamp, bing AI and what ever else suites there fancy
I wouldn’t know
I admit to being old and out of touch, but why is this meme a sandwich?
The original meme template, to my knowledge, was something along the lines of "People be like "Subway sucks". Bro, you made the sandwich." and then it was tweaked a little, tweaked a little more, tweaked a little more and we ended up with this and even more absurd versions.
Thank you!
A while ago I saw this meme about the exact experience you're having right now. We've come full circle lol.
This warms my heart! Thanks.
Windoof on my computer got an update last week. I wonder when it's done. /j
(But seriously, it took almost the whole evening.)
