  • Yeah xfce is what i switched to, which was easier than i expected it to be.

    No it was crashing to the login screen… randomly and frequently while playing games … I was trying to update stuff and make tweaks i messed something up and the system didn’t even recognize it had an operating system…

    I looked it up… it was the grub menu that i was finally able to get to load which helped me put things back to normal…

    It helped taking out my old 2 sticks of 8gb ram in my configuration with my teo 16 gb sticks which worked fine when i was using windows… none of the issues happened on windows so i was really trying to figure it out… i mean i did figure it out… but yeah…

    It really did not help that i was running at 120 on an ultra wide at 5120 x 1440 or whatever the resolution is… i also tried to run it at 240 but that was a horrible idea and the start of my issues…

    But yeah, its been a while so…


  • I don’t remember what i did… but i completely fucked my system up… linux wouldnt start at all…

    I tried looking online for help and i basically needed a flash drive with linux to “fix” the issue…

    I didn’t have that, i lost it or whatever…

    I took a shot with asking chat gpt and for all its hate… it was somehow able to explain some weird boot loader thing I’ve never heard of and i punched in some commands into the command line, and everything was fixed…

    Im not sure the point of the story, but don’t go changing system level shit when your trying to fix your graphics card from crashing while playing no mans sky… i did fix the issue though changing the desktop from cinnamon to xde or something…

    But its like a memory bug or something that hopefully gets fixed for amd at some point

    I can believe this, if he wasn’t such a narcissist or such a lying douche bag who always has to be right and has something to say about absolutely everything while having a story to go with it…

    Then he would be a pretty cool guy…

    Some of his advice isn’t actually bad though… I watched him for a bit but the more you watch him the more you see him for who he is…






  • I’m not debating the literal version history of Windows or pretending compatibility issues don’t matter. My point always was from the beginning, conceptual. It’s about drawing a line and imagining a clean break from legacy systems, like starting from a Gen2 OS with no baggage.

    If that idea still isn’t clear, that’s fine because clearly we are talking past each other at this point. I’ve explained it multiple ways to you, and I’m not interested in continuing this when you clearly refuse to even attempt to look past the current versioning system of windows… Which clearly makes me wrong somehow, even though it’s a hypothetical situation…

    Last thing…

    “You could have just said, oh, if there already was a version 2, let’s just call it “Windows Gen2” instead of getting belligerent.”

    That’s not what I meant at all… It doesn’t matter if version two exists in my hypothetical situation or windows 9 or 22 even…

    If you started a whole new operating system based on new technologies… And called it windows 2 not Windows 2.0

    Look at it this way no one got confused when overwatch two came out and thought it was just overwatch path 2.0

    How do you not understand grouping the current windows operating system from the first version to windows 11 together as one thing? Is that too hard to wrap your head around? Do you know how to group things together?

    And then you can assign it as anything you want it like I did in my example as version one and the. The next group is version two…

    You understand how that works?

    You can have a version one that so happens to have something called version two in it… Maybe we could label it as 1.2 and the current version of windows in this instance would be 1.11…

    So you start a new version line as 2.0 and rebuild the whole thing not worrying about compatibility issues…

    Fuckin crazy how you can do that right?

    And since we live in the age of ai trash…

    have a break down of the nonsense…

    🧠 What Person A is trying to say:

    They’re proposing a conceptual versioning system, where all existing Windows versions — no matter how they’re officially labeled — are retroactively grouped as “version 1” of a broader era. Then they suggest Microsoft should start fresh with a “version 2” — a clean-slate OS that abandons backward compatibility and legacy code entirely.

    That’s not unreasonable as a conceptual framework. It’s a design-oriented, future-focused proposal — not a literal historical claim.


    🧾 What Person B is saying:

    Person B interpreted Person A’s idea literally, assuming Person A didn’t understand actual Windows version history (Windows 1, 2, 3, 95, NT, etc.), and got annoyed. Their response, while technically accurate, is more about proving correctness than engaging with the idea Person A was floating.


    💢 What Person C is doing:

    Person C is just being unnecessarily inflammatory. Name-calling like “daft cunt syndrome” doesn’t add anything — it’s the kind of comment that derails any constructive conversation.


    🔍 My Analysis:

    Person A has a rough communication style and comes off as condescending, which provoked the others — but the idea they’re putting forward isn’t “wrong,” just misunderstood. They want a clean break from legacy Windows.

    Person B is correct about Windows historical versioning but is missing the spirit of the conceptual proposal. They got baited and lashed out.

    Person C just made everything worse.


    🧩 Final Thought:

    It would have gone much better if Person A said:

    “Imagine grouping all current Windows versions as ‘generation 1’, and now proposing a totally fresh OS as ‘generation 2’ with no legacy baggage.”

    Instead, it got personal and defensive fast. So — valid idea, poor delivery. And the responses just escalated instead of clarifying.

    Let me know if you want this explained in a funnier tone, like a courtroom transcript or mock forum.
