    No, I’m in love with having my property rights respected instead of letting corporations sabotage my computer against me.

      They get dopamine hits when their no_u.exe or no_u.dmg start-up applications run.

      Hear hear! It’s wild to see what Mac and Windows users put up with. The Linux experience may sometimes be cryptic and frustrating, but at least I know I’m not paying for the privilege of being shat on by a large corporation.

          It hit my eye as well, but I am sure there is a way to present it without being downvoted.

          For real, installing Linux nowadays is pretty painless for the most part, windows has this 27 stage process for opting out of a online account.

          Like both have issues, you’re just used to the windows issues, but those are progressively getting more intrusive.

            installing the easier linux distros has been easier than windows since like 2004. I never understood the “it’s hard to install” out of everything else that may be legit to complain about

            the only thing I can guess is the people that say that are the people that can’t get into their bios and do not know how to reformat windows either.

      It‘s basically the proverbial frog in the pot. Emphasis on the proverbial because frogs jump actually do leave the pot when it‘s too hot.

        Unless they’re lobotomized, which makes it a good metaphor again.
