Is that Arch or TempleOS lol
I read that as "Torii gate" and was very confused for a bit.
"Haha! I use Linux and don't have to deal with this!"
Goes to work, has to use Windows 11 computer and solidworks
I see my friend's very well paying role is pretty much entirely on Microsoft Azure and know I cannot agree with it or go with them down that road.
At least at work it's ITs problem if shit goes awry.
Haha, i wish! They always go "oh, that's OT software, yeah we have no clue about that, you're on your own"
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this:

I'm so glad I can work on my Linux desktop. Arch Linux all day every day
At work, I get paid to sit around and twiddle thumbs while staring at the update screen.

My job pushed windows on us two years ago. I work as freelancer and don't have much choice, it's either "comply" or "leave".
So yeah, that's how I work now:
Does that one come with fishnets? Perchance?
Me? Only unix socks
In my experiences, it's Windows Update in the background causing the lag. Doing it's shitfuckery things, planting it's shitfuckery seeds, waiting for restart season to trigger the bloom...
It is funny though, "Updates! You need to restart!"
"Oh, okay!"
Restart > GRUB auto boots to Linux.
I know it's a future me problem, but I'm in Windows for work like once a month these days. That's fine.
You just reminded me.
At one point I had Windows take up two drives, one for boot and one for games. However, I only ever really used it for this one piece of software that I couldn't get working on Linux, so I nuked it and reinstalled Windows on the smallest drive I have, just for that software.
Two weeks later I got the software working on Linux, and I completely forgot I even have a Windows partition up until now. It's been months.
My windows "partition" for work is just a single VM image that sits on one of my two Linux-formatted drives.
The software I had needs GPU acceleration and I couldnβt be arsed fixing that. At the time I had an NVidia GPU as well, and that makes things extra shit.
I've got the images for Windows 10 Pro and Windows XP on my server, to use remotely in case I ever feel the need.
Unless you get that one update that nukes GRUB so you gotta find a LiveCD.
Oh yeah, I've had that twice. Windows Update not fathoming anything but itself existing so just nukes the UEFI and installs itself as dictator.
The good thing about being on an out of date OS. No more fucking updates.
Sure, but once they demote bad SSL protocol options and youβre forced to either upgrade or switch platforms.
I swear to god Microsoft does this on purpose to get you to restart and update
This fucking dirtbag is going to reinstall edge, skype, outlook, and turn all bluetooth devices back into telephony enabled earrape machines.
Don't forget, it's also going to install a new, non-optional AI assistant in ... *rolls dice* ... Windows Media Player.
I went in here expecting Linuxposts. Was not disappointed.
Windows users cannot understand the absolute absurdity of "I have to wait for my computer to update now, so I can't use it."
Had to boot my work Windows laptop a while ago, because the software I have to work on uses some stupid Windows sign in thing, and I wasn't fast enough getting Kerberos working before everyone went on vacation.
I'd forgotten that every single piece of software handles its own updates, and to install anything you have to like, go around to different places and download it. It's crazy.
Nevermind the file manager making a dozen HTTP requests every time you launch it.
Like cavemen. Can you at least use homebrew or something on windows?
There are a few tools like that, including one by Microsoft themselves (winget), but nothing is centralised and not everything will be available via it.
I just want to get my work done. Itβs bananas how much faff is in the way.
"haha it's thinking"
Dedicate your computer to the speaker.
Ever since I reboot I've been hating you!
It was in all likelihood lagging because of Windows Update. The only way I would use Windows at this point is if it was Windows 10 LTSC with updates disabled or in an offline environment.
I've even gone through the frustrating task of setting up wine bottles to hold windows-only softwares such as Clip Studio Paint and Autodesk softwares.
Fun fact, ever since I switched to linux I've never had a system crash, unlike on Windows were every few days nVidia video or audio control would cause a BSOD. I'm actually convinced they make buggy and crashing drivers intentionally in order to push people off the 20 and 30 series cards, if somebody can prove it then it'll be a multimillion dollar class action.
