I can't remember the last time I got a DLL error on my Windows laptop, honestly. I don't think that's ever happened on my current computer.

I got one on my work laptop this week. It's controlled by a shitty management software that is used by our IT, but still.
I got this when I didn't have the correct .NET installed
get an antivirus that actually works and then use either policy plus or group policy to delay windows updates
Delay feature updates by 365 days
Delay quality updates by 30 days
semi-annual channel
Disable preview builds
then use O&O shutup10 ++ to disable the bullshit and you're golden.
I'm not paying for pro
Are people still buying Windows after the invention of KMSPico ?
Been using Linux off and on since 2003-ish. I remember the days of having to compile applications and having to download various dependencies. Linux now is so streamlined and easy. Minus gentoo.
Edge (Microsoft browser) thinks the Microsoft Teams exe installer FROM MICROSOFT SERVER is malware, no joke.
It is.
I like how you specified "Microsoft browser" 😏
Broken clock and all that
This was made by someone who has never used either
Eh, Windows complaints tend to get pretty hyperbolic much of the time. It’s slow and annoying but I’ve always worked with it
But the description of the Linux update process matches my experience with mint, pretty much. I even use the GUI update utility because it will put a little icon in the bottom corner of the screen. It’s quick even if I’m using a program that’s going an update, and if the kernel gets updated it’s just like “hey remember to reboot buddy!”

What the actual fuck are you smoking?
At least update this meme to the 2010s if you won't go to the 2020s
i love when i need to search for dll files
WinGet: Am I a joke to you?
Yes
WinGet, choco, scoop, &c, they all have strengths and weaknesses, which is why I had to write this: https://github.com/brianary/scripts/blob/main/Update-Everything.ps1
It's also why I use Linux at home.
You need to update a bunch of separate things on Linux too, though. For example, apt or dnf, rpms and debs that aren't in a repo (although Deb-get handles some of those), Flatpak, Snap, fwupd for firmware, plus language-specific things (npm, dotnet, cargo, Python, etc). At least the UIs handle a lot of it now.
That's why I use NixOS. 100,000 packages so you really found something niche if it didn't have it

Open terminal
See whether the app is in my distro's repos, flathub, or snapcraft (It's not)
Go on the internet, search up the app's name
Download the AppImage (might be a virus)
LibFuse2 is not installed (fuck me)
Install LibFuse2
Install Gearlever to integrate AppImage into my desktop
I can finally launch the app

Let’s not cherrypick scenarios to try and pretend Linux is easier than Windows. Most normal people are nervous interacting with a GUI pop-up that gives them two options, never mind putting them into a terminal window where they could seriously fuck up their machine. What about clicking the download link on a webpage, clicking next a few times and having them software on your machine, compared to having to build something from GitHub (how many people here have never had to do that?).
Most normal people only ever use the browser. Even image or video editing is niche for the average person
