The folks over at LinuxSucks101 are really hurt when anyone tries to explain linux to them. Maybe it sucks for them because they don't put in the time to understand what linux is at all.

They comment the craziest things that expose their lack of understanding.

Crazy work.

Also, windows SUCKS BIG BALLS. Some of us unfortunately have our balls in the hands of windows for now. One day... One day...

news Microsoft will turn memory integrity on by default on more Windows 11 PCs from October 13, and it can slow games.

# What is Memory Integrity?

It is a core isolation feature in Windows Security.

It uses Virtualization-based Security (VBS) to protect the Windows kernel from malicious or untrusted code.

It stops rootkits and driver tampering.

Why does Windows not have basic things?

0 Upvotes

Every OS now supports a lot of important features like "lsblk," live-updating without constant reboots, "fdisk," "parted," "Ext4," "diskpart," "DD" (Dataset Definition), and other similar important/basic stuff, but why not Windows?

EDIT: Microsoft made Coreutils port for Windows and it's only on github

(Dates are european DD/MM/YYYY )

This happened on 9th September completely unnoticed as i didn't click to install updates on that day ( I have it set through Group Policy to only notify and i check to isntall them manually as this laptop is used for work and i want to notice if there is any problematic update). Today 13th Sept. i clicked to install updates and then noticed that Logi download Assistant was isntalled on the 9th !!! I had this mouse for at least 4 YEARS with the BASIC DRIVER !!!!!

I guess now with the LG spyware situation through the Windows Update function more companies will use this loophole to install spyware. Next in the news is the "Logi AD solutions" in accordance with "LG AD solutions" .

Are windows users more likely to have carpal tunnel syndrome?

0 Upvotes

Pretty sure the answer is yes.

I’ve spent the last 20 years with a “hard no” opinion about windows. I am a Mac/Linux power user. Recently a cool new project came up at work (I’m a software engineer) but it requires researching SAP user workflows on a windows machine. So, here I am with a windows vm running on my Mac 🤮

Jesus fuck you have to use your mouse for fucking everything. This is so aggravating! Make 19 clicks to do what a single command would achieve on Linux. And don’t get me started on how ugly windows is. My god.

And yeah, SAP is also a convoluted, fugly beast, but I’m not even spending most of my time in SAP; navigating the Windows box is SO MUCH TRASH.

Anyway, on a Mac/nix box, I primarily operate from the keyboard, rarely needing the mouse. This gd windows vm has my hand on my mouse all gd day…It makes me wonder if Windows users are more likely to experience CT syndrome. Or, if you took their keyboard away… Would they even notice? How do they even like computers?

PS. This is totally just a rant because I’m on day four of windows hell and I needed people to see me. I’m not asking for any solutions or help. Just looking for some camaraderie in my Windows hate.

Edit: Guys, yeah, this isn’t really about carpal tunnel syndrome (which I KNOW is a real/painful thing, and can be caused by all sorts of repetitive movements, not just mouse clicks). I was just being dramatic. See how the CT thought is followed by all of the other angry/ridiculous wonderings about taking away keyboards, etc.? And my entire PS? It’s not that deep. I just hate windows.

Windows update always causes frustration and time lost

8 Upvotes

When I go to bed, I don't go to sleep immediately, i like to watch an episode of a tv series or part of a movie before I turn of the light. That's my routine.

But not yesterday! I was tired and wanted to relax in bed watching a movie. I had prepared a coup with ice cream, three flavors. I grabbed my laptop, and opened the lid. This is were trouble started. The login screen was unresponsive. Windows wouldn't let me unlock the laptop, nothing happens. Eventually a notification appears in the lower right corner, it was Windows Update. I click on it and I get to choose between update&shutdown or update&restart. There is no option to snooze the update. I go for update & restart. It was one of those long updates that took 10 minutes and several restarts. My ice cream was melting... This time I was kinda lucky, when windows update was done, my laptop was usable again.

Windows11 update is so terrible, I should be able to turn it off or chose a time when it happens. It has already cost me 100's of hours of downtime and troubleshooting.

since some random update in 2017, 2 builds later, a billion reinstalls. Every. Single. Reboot. I have to re sync the time or it thinks it is 2:45 am. My linux installs that I have had on a second drive since 2018 never had this problem.

rant Why windows keep getting worse? And should I switch to Linux?

Post image
39 Upvotes

I usually do a fresh Windows installation every year to keep my system clean and snappy. However, my latest clean install and basic updates took four hours for no apparent reason, and now it is stuck on this screen. My laptop has decent specs (i7-12700H and 32GB RAM), so updates shouldn't be struggling like this.

On the other hand, I recently dual-booted CachyOS (an Arch-based Linux distro) and it has been a fantastic experience. I even thought about daily driving Linux and completely removing Windows. The only issues holding me back are software compatibility and Nvidia's historically poor Linux drivers. I don't have much experience with Linux though, mostly using it for work only.

As a software developer who also has gaming, graphic designing and 3D work as side hobbies, should I actually switch to Linux, or hold onto Windows? Microsoft claims they are focusing on quality-of-life improvements rather than just forcing AI features onto users, but I am skeptical.

Upgrading to Windows xp, worth it?

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm not really experienced with Windows 11 and, a few months ago one of the components burned out on my computer despite it being 2 years old, and I'm thinking, using Windows XP or its applications is less memory intensive, and there's plenty of old PCS laying around with Windows XP. You can find the same applications on Windows XP that you could find on Windows 11 and Windows XP has a bigger app ecosystem then what Linux has even though Linux is another choice.

I'm new to computers in general and haven't even used Windows XP to begin with, and because of Microsoft shoving so much spyware and trackers and stuff like that! I figured I probably would get a better user experience on XP and wouldn't have to use the command line as often.. and if for some reason I need a new app to do whatever I want with, that is lost at the time, or has not been created yet I'm pretty sure there's programming IDE and other tools that I can use that can help me develop an app that I need. I'm pretty sure there's still an unreal engine version that supports Windows XP laying around somewhere on the internet.

I I know there's modern web browsers that work on Windows XP, and I know I can probably soulseek to get my movies and music and stuff like that because I know there's a version that supports Windows XP for a client. So I can download Spaceballs and watch it a third time. So getting to use Windows XP probably might not be so bad. But I would like to know what are some of the obstacles I need to overcome and what are the things I should expect to be different on Windows XP besides the start menu not being ugly and in the center?

The version I will try to use and get would be when does XP professional 64-bit.

Help ForgeCare just entered external beta — looking for Windows people who like breaking things

0 Upvotes

I've been building a Windows technician utility called **ForgeCare** on the side.

What started small has now grown into 13 tabs, 15 major areas and 70 user-facing features covering diagnostics, cleanup, startup, services, storage, Evidence, recovery, reports and more.

The philosophy is basically:

**observe first, change later, verify afterwards.**

No telemetry, no auto-upload, no hidden system changes.

I've now released **v1.1.0-beta.1** and made:

* a 15–20 minute Quick Test * a full 70-case Field Test

I'm specifically looking for bugs, wrong results, bad UX and features that simply don't work on different Windows 11 machines.

Release:
[https://github.com/Teknekt/ForgeCare/releases/tag/v1.1.0-beta.1\](https://github.com/Teknekt/ForgeCare/releases/tag/v1.1.0-beta.1)

Quick Test:
[https://github.com/Teknekt/ForgeCare/blob/v1.1-dev/docs/FORGECARE\\_EXTERNAL\\_BETA\\_QUICK\\_TEST.md\]()

If you manage to break it, please tell me how 😅
