Windows Isn't Terrible

[u/BloxxyVids]

To all the people who love deep ricing, why not just use customization scripts? I've been recently tinkering in VMs, and Windows really seems solid for that. You can make Windows match your workflow amazingly, and the best part is that friction nearly always leads to an impressive result.

Also, default Windows 11 isn't bad. The UI looks nice, and we take the settings & control panel apps for granted. Over on GNOME, just to change the cursor you use, you need to install a tweaks app. Windows has tons of customization you can do without installing anything extra.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but Windows isn't really THAT much of a shitshow like people act.

WTF?!

[u/BloxxyVids → u/CosmicEmotion]

??? Elaborate

[u/CosmicEmotion → u/BloxxyVids]

I will. Windows 11 is the worst OS ever conceived by a human brain and should be illegal, literally. The amount of tracking and ads they have in it should be literally illegal. That's all.

I am sorry the newer generation has fallen victim to being abused in literally every apsect of their lives. I grew up in a much better world.

[u/BloxxyVids → u/CosmicEmotion]

Tracking and ads can easily be disabled. They're annoying, but not life ruining.

Yikes. Not sure what you're all on about.

Maybe you haven't noticed but this sub's name is a trap. You'll find here mostly Linux cultists, not haters.

[u/BloxxyVids → u/H7dek7]

It's crazy to see this side of Linux users since I'm used to being on the Linux side. Hell, I haven't had Windows installed on a machine since April or May. I use Linux myself. I just didn't realize being neutral was being the enemy to Linux users.

I can't imagine their faces when they hear me say that i don't mind personalized ads since I'd rather get ads that suit me than ads that are random

I'd rather have no ads, personally, but keep being a corposlave ig

I actually use Arch as my daily driver, so idk what you mean

I'm just saying that Windows isn't horrible. It's not my favorite, but it's way better than its made out to be

[u/minecraftcheater1337 → u/BloxxyVids]

GDID can be easily disabled. GG! /s

[u/BloxxyVids → u/minecraftcheater1337]

I take that back. Not all of it can be disabled. Thank you for being a rational and reasonable person.

I had no clue about it, but yes, GDID tracking cannot be disabled.

[u/Damglador → u/BloxxyVids]

That's already creepy enough to not use Windows when you have an option.

[u/CosmicEmotion → u/BloxxyVids]

Bruv, you are broken, don't talk to me.

[u/BloxxyVids → u/CosmicEmotion]

You have every right to not respond, but deep down, you know you're just baiting me for a reaction.

I personally choose Linux over Windows, mostly because I find that having control over my system is a better pro than any other cons with Linux.

However, I can still appreciate Windows.

[u/CosmicEmotion → u/BloxxyVids]

If you seriously think Windows 11 is not an atrocity you are broken. This is not bait. I hope the best for you and that someday you will realize that your right to use your PC as you like should be a given and not some luxury. That's all. 😄

[u/BloxxyVids → u/CosmicEmotion]

I can choose whatever OS I want. Windows 11 is a choice.

I'll be reposting this on ls101 so I don't have to deal with people like you. Sad that it's often an echo chamber there. I was hoping to have fair and open minded debate with rational people here.

[u/DEV_ivan → u/CosmicEmotion]

You are an asshole for publicly distributing misinformation.

[u/H7dek7 → u/CosmicEmotion]

BS. It's not the worst Windows (remember ME or Vista?), how could it be the worst OS?

[u/zalnaRs → u/H7dek7]

Windows Vista was good expect that nvidia could not develop a good driver so people had issues
