I use Arch (btw), I break my own stuff whenever I want, keep up Microsoft.
Secretly in love with AUR and a masochist.
At least on Arch you can reasonably fix it yourself.
Filesystem snapshots are the best thing since sliced bread.
😂I don’t do snapshots, I just have important files in my nextcloud server managed by my friend, who does snapshots 🤭
I feel like a time traveller with timeshift.
Timeshift, to a dedicated partition, is the first thing I install and configure if not installed by default by the distro
Nix generations in my case
I am confused but my daily driver Arch install has had zero issues since installing it.
What am I doing wrong?
Do you always tell people that you use it? If not that may be what you are doing wrong
So, you want to use AUR whenever possible by adding -git to every package that you want to install, also mess with your python install by mixing pip and AUR packages, don't forget to install your nvidia beta drivers.
🤔🤭 I see, that is why my endeavourOS never broke yet 😃
Always use precompiled, no time to compile myself 😂 never used pip ever and used nvidia-inst to install the nvidia driver 😇
Maybe you correctly follow documentation and best practices.
Where we are going there is no documentation.
But, there is a wiki
God lemmy is always complaining about microsoft. Just use a controller if mouse and keyboard don’t work. If you don’t have a controller just use checks USB HID spec a magic carpet.
WiFi not working? Just use ethernet?
No WSL 2? Just install linux. Oh…
Steer clear of Windows if you're not into nearly every bad thing in existence.
Fixed that for you.
This would be such a hassle for me if I didn’t run Linux
crowd strike: I am so important, when I do poo poo PC goes wah wah
micro$hoft: hold my beer, I can do poo poo update too
This is why I'm always a few versions out of date, ever since they started bricking computers via Windows update. Keeps me clear of their horrifying AI and additional telemetry and adware "enhancements" too.
Windows 10 gang here. If I wait a few years I'm sure 11 will be usable by the time 10 support ends.
Same with buying pc games.
I have little hope they’ll fix 11 in a year when 10 hits end of life. 11’s already been out 3 years…
I'd still be on 7 if it weren't for DirectXwhatever
Win11 might get "usable" in the same sense that 8.1 was "usable" closer to the end. It was still a turd. I'm sticking with my Windows10 install as long as I can, and later switching the gaming PC to Linux if necessary. Maybe even keep a partition or drive with 10 as a "retrobox" for when it's end of life. It's mostly old games that don't run well on Linux, anything more modern should be fine.
You'll be on linux by then.
Whatever is after 11 should be decent if the rule to skip every other windows holds up. I'm... Not as optimistic as I once was, but time will tell.
Are you ready for the ads?
Don’t worry, Microsoft has been working hard to port all of the worst things from windows 11 into 10.
This is why I installed linux on my Microsoft Surface Pro. The newest updates (this really wasn't an issue until this year) keep breaking a ton of shit.
Oh... So that's why I bluescreened yesterday. Or at least, that's what I hope happened, I really don't wanna find out what else it could be
Updates his Garuda Linux OS
Ahhh, the sweet sound of not being a piece of crap operating system.
Switch to Linux to avoid bad updates like this.
I live in Linux ( mint) and have had two bork events recently (and many over the years, since the 90’s). Thankfully nothing that timeshift couldn’t solve, but they do happen. That’s why people are getting hard-ons about immutable distros.
