The way they’re going I don’t think they even care about windows numbers

Oh absolutely, the strategy has always been to secure the market, make it difficult to leave the service, and jack up the profit. The only thing we can do is recognise it happening and work to make alternatives available, work on our own skillsets instead of relying on their tools.

Which is a shame, but the mask is off as of late, and we can’t do much about that.

I believe they get weird about local accounts on recent versions of 11, even ones that already existed. I’m not going to verify, but yeah I think the point is they’re moving towards them basically not existing.

That’s interesting, I’ve not had any issues like that with Wayland on a similar setup. Might be drivers? Or potentially whatever desktop environment you’re using.

Driver issue? That or DNS somehow.

Look upon my server uptime and despair

Not op, but I use Ubuntu because I will need a job at some point and want to use something relatively marketable.

Snaps are annoying, I tried to use them once for something and then have basically ignored them. They aren’t hugely core as something in windows would be.

Definitely a brick of an operating system, boring as hell, but reliable and has been that way since ancient times.

No, but every system I’ve put together so far has been either ultra basic or specifically purchased for Linux compatibility.

Your system might need some variety of priest by the sound of it, though I’ve had my own set of weirdness, so I can’t judge. I just found out the reason native Linux games have been such pigs is because the integrated graphics nothing was supposed to use was being used.

Open source drivers are a major plus, I’ve had a much easier time than my partner on NVIDIA. I mean I make both machines work but the NVIDIA has been a real pig at times.

God yes, it was fucking with my partners graphics drivers, and killed most games I have running.

Yeah, most of that is on purpose. They fucked the search engines.

They’re gamblers and con men. People that get to controlling positions in these businesses generally don’t do it by being reasonable and responsible with the people under them, money or ethics.

Oh, like a laptop that unfolds into an ultra wide?

It kind of bothers me that people are putting the responsibility on valve for this, when the companies themselves have purposefully not enabled compatibility in most cases.

I’ve never needed less days, more just the ability to actually focus on work and less distractions. I’ve never been more productive than WFH, and it means I can spend more time maintaining my home as well.

Oh that’s sick hell yeah

Maybe I’ve already had an aneurysm and this reality is merely a terrible delusion borne of that.

Maybe after windows 8? Last time I can remember.
