Should've switched to a selfhosted solution earlier, damn.

BAMM!!

As someone who routinely installs new Laptops for various reasons:

Installing

• Preinstalled Windows is unusable, due to preinstalled spyware
• No torrents
• No multiple versions
• No real support for actually chaning the locale, what you download is what you get. Even if that means redownloading 5 GB for every language, even though the interesting parts are just a few language files, which every OS can also replace while running (Note: OSes, not spyware with a program loader strapped to it)
• No live version
• Unnecessarily complex/long installation (Locale settings being required two times, circumventing the M$ account with cmd, denying all spying stuff)
• Installer does not have drivers for many things eg. some Touchpads, special storage setups etc.
• Installing takes a long time overall
• Removing bloat, with varying success (sometimes uninstalling Edge is one click, sometimes it requires powershell hacks) takes ages (my hand always hurts afterwards because removing one thing takes three clicks at different locations)
• Installing stuff is extremely annoying, inconsistent and insecure (VLCPlus ...)
• Everyone loves hunting down 10 different obscure drivers from various websites, each with unique installers, right?
• Windows fucks itself up within a few days with a non-insignificant chance ... eg. by entering S-Mode (halfway) somehow

Usage

• It may be in part due to me being used to a tiling WM with dozens of workspaces, but even with KDE I have much better workflow - somehow, Windows' way to multitask is really strange to me, and I can only use it like a 70 year old with only 10% sight in one eye and 0% in the other: very slow and inefficiently
• You can't integrate anything with anything, except if you have dozens of accounts of services, some even with costs, and only use everything exactly like daddy manufacturer wants you to
• Literally no support. Windows fucks itself up in so many ways, and the only "reliable" fix is a reinstall
• Even with the dumbed down nature of Windows, users are morons. I'd rather teach my grandparents (including my very loud grandfather and said nearly-blind grandmother) Linux from scratch (yes, also LFS) than teach them the "correct way" to use Windows
• Even when knowing how to use Windows properly, with all tricks applied, it's less powerful than a pregnancy test running BASIC
• Paying 250+$ to get served ads to pay even more, money and data, is obviously stupid

Ganz einfach: Sämtliche Menschen überwachen, und all deren Nachrichten etc. für immer speichern. Geniale Idee.

Ich hab den ersten Satz gelesen, und direkt das fehlende'u' bemerkt. Tolles Amt was wir da haben.

Und was soll ich sagen, Fritz!Boxen sind halt einfach die besten, indem sie die meisten Funktionen und Leistung haben, und einfach Funktionieren, ohne Ärger.

Just wanted to say that some old desktop PC running Arch testing in my room has 100% uptime lmao

Ich bin ja immer noch für Ranz-Lite™. Die Kern Aspekte Ranzig, der Rest normal.

You misspelled "spyware with a program loader strapped to it".

Du hast mich bereits mit deinem Angelsächsisch aktiviert.
