yeah right, that data definitely won't be sent to microsoft.

As worse and worse win11 features are unveiled it’s so funny to see these posts slowly filled with more “yeah i just switched to linux” comments.

ATDA ,

Obligatory Linux mint post.

ThePrivacyPolicy ,

Switched to mint on my laptop a couple months ago and love it, using it full time on that system. Still need to run windows on my desktop for some audio production and VR gaming, but honestly that system is going to Mint next for the other 90% of the usage. Couldn't believe how refined the Linux desktop experience has gotten, but then again last time I gave it a try was probably well over a decade ago :)

Killer57 ,

Really loving Bazzite so far.

biggerbogboy ,

what specs do you have? im wondering since im planning to install it on my school laptop (lenovo thinkpad 11e 4th gen, 4gb ram, 128gb ssd, intel celeron, integrated graphics.) and in wondering if it would work somewhat fast, especially at web browsing.

AProfessional ,

The web is just heavy, no OS changes that. It will work fine but that ram could be filled by a few heavy sites.

biggerbogboy ,

yeah I just realised that fact, currently I use chromium and it is quite fast on my system so I don't think there will be issues there. aside from that, how fast are windows programs compared to ordinary windows?

AProfessional ,

Thats a very broad question. My general thought is don’t install Linux to use Windows software. It’s gotten pretty good, to nearly same performance, but I wouldn’t count on it.

biggerbogboy ,

I appreciate the help, I was asking as my school laptop runs horrendously slow on windows, but when I utilise a Linux live environment, it's suddenly bearable.

ordellrb ,

blocking the stuff you dont want (ads and tracking ) with dns blocklists and adblocker can help a bit. linux has also the option to compress the contents of the ram with Zram. i have not used it myself yet.

My apologies on the late reply, I currently have Bazzite on three devices,
My main PC: Ryzen 7 3700X, RX 5600, 64Gb DDR4.
My main laptop, a Lenovo E590.
And my backup laptop: A Lenovo L412.
So far, I prefer it over windows on all three.

pfff... I'm going back to Windows XP Pro x64 Edition.

don’t remind me of better days

And removing one of the best features, the subsystem for android. It stops making sense from many people's perspectives and using a linux program like waydroid would probably be better than using android studio on Windows11.

taanegl ,

So I'm trying to figure out a way to jip Microsoft. We've already got a way to activate windows for free, but LTSC images need to be available - because that's where we get away from Microsoft's bullshit.

Unless Microsoft removes access to DISM and gp, we'll still be able to cut off that "always online" limb.

Chakravanti ,

That's not, wasn't, and never will be free even if you don't ritual with your Talisman, the dollar.

Closed source software isn't about making money. That's just a sucker tool to vacuum people that accept shit-worse-than slavery from the dollar.

Free means to ditch any and all software that some person you don't gorram know bar one pedophile who stole everyone else's written software and turned around selling it promising what it does. Even he doesn't know jack fucking squat about what it really does.

If you flip that for the trust you gave over the then the news is that you're an even more gullible sucker and it isn't a gamble on whether or not the next software cracker will kidnap the rest of your family as well.

The life of everyone in your family will inevitably become the truth serum regenex for Steve Jobs when they unfreeze his ass. If you think he really is dead then you weren't paying the fuck attention to his stock market vaccine six months before his ice cube.

Fungah ,

What the fuck are you talking about?

Chakravanti ,

Back to the future.

StereoTrespasser ,

That sounds like an AI bot summarizing an average Lemmy user's rant about FLOSS and Linux.

Chakravanti ,

You can't tell the difference between an AI and a real person because your understanding of reality was fed to you by children in culture's trap persuading you to summon the 10 dimension into the essence of your soul flux into theirs.

Chakravanti ,

The obvious truth you think ain't cuz the writer knew you would understand what the real dimensions against reality we live in are without your inability to perceive them.

It's not difficult. You can see it. Let me throw an example of one them.

We see 4 dimensions. Height, width, Length and time right?

There's another multidimensional track here. This is the Story. It's a little more complicated and I'd be foolish to claim understanding of that; though I would easily say the I know a few of them. I've read many Sci-Fi, Fantasy and a few others.

That's just an example. I am trying to give you understanding but if you continue to ask questions that are essentially a weapon using ignorance to attempt to smear someone who is attempting to help everyone before the Sun smite gorram planet like Mars for our universal suicide in ways we can't begin to understand let alone describe should we actually know anything about it let alone understand anything.

orgrinrt ,

Do you think any of that makes any sense? If you read what you’ve written here, can you make sense of that yourself?

Dude are you okay?

moon ,

You want to get rid of Microsoft's BS while still using Microsoft? I think you already know the only answer is Linux.

taanegl ,

In some cases, that's still not possible for m, although my personal laptop that I use daily runs Fedora Atomic.

But I also recently reinstalled another laptop with Windows 11, promptly stripped the whole thing of all kinds of apps and services, installed a bunch of audio software, libraries, etc, to prepare a machine to be show worthy.

When the day comes and Ableton ports Live to Linux proper is when I will forego a bulk of my VST's, but running it under wine for real-time purposes is not reliable at all - so eh. There's Bigwig, but I got like years of Max patches that I just can't live without, and I don't need just a DAW. In fact, if you ask me to leave Live, I'll tell you to fly a kite.

Same issue it's always been, unfortunately, that vendors do not support the Linux desktop. Go bother the vendors about platform supoort. I do, frequently. In fact, time for another ticket - and this one is going to be political.

Thanks for the reminder.

sturmblast ,

Yep, that shit won't be running on my computers.

Chakravanti , (edited )

*That won't be acknowledged running on my computer.

Correction. If you're running any kind of closed source software AND haven't disabled Intel ME (or PSP) Then this is the accurate reality shining on you illusion of reality.

Also, get you a lap shade or that 10-dimensional...whatever is still racking your body, watching you out of every camera. Every.Camera.Everywhere

Cypher ,

Well… given every single Windows update has failed for the last few months for me it really won’t be running on my PC.

I’m going to need to wipe the bloody thing soon though because of the security risks.

Time to go back to Linux Mint I guess

Chakravanti ,

Qubes. Get a another laptop. Something old and cheap. X230 or better for some basic security tools in the chip. On that front though, learn to either disable Intel ME or cough up for someone else doing so. would recommend a Librem from Purism.

If so, get a three year warranty. I don't know about us lasting that long here but mine lasted two years before all the ports stopped working with USB going first. I sent it to them with a new NVMe and the sent me back a failure after asking me if they could wipe the drive and made me pay for the shipment. When I received it and told them about their failure, they paid for shipping the second time. Sent me someone that worked for another two years.

I quit windows two decades ago. Didn't get into comps and GNU/Linux for 5 more years. First thing i learned about comps when I built one was GNU/Linux.

It's not the software itself that I respect, but the philosophy of Richard Stallman. He is no less than our Messiah and he doesn't make a single reference to a gorram thing that ain't a tangible security concept he manifests into what makes sense.

Like I'll ever "trust" someone I don't know let alone some pedophiliac thief's OS that someone wrote and even he don't know. Despite claiming anything about its function.

Try KDE Neon

MagnusEntityPosts ,

(The bit outside the brackets is always the Entity and anything inside brackets is stuff that has nothing to do with the Entitys or is just an explanation ^^)
(I am just trying to differentiate these two bits)

Chadus_Maximus ,

Oh! I get it! (no idea what you just said).
