Clearly people don't find it that bad

Most people don't care about the same things you care about. I do, and still find managing windows easier but I agree not everyone will because I also care about things like tpm support and kernel signing. Windows does all these things with no hoops, making it simpler for my use case. I've never had a registry entry brick anything.

I'm not super controlling, so I don't feel an overriding need to remove edge just because it's there. I used Rufus to bypass tpm and web login support with 2 checkboxes. Life just isn't that hard.

For someone who doesn't care at all, windows is significantly easier.

My general experience has been: "Come to Linux"

"But not ubuntu that's trash"

<Tries arch, run into problem>

"Why the fuck would you use arch, dummy?"

<Switch to fedora, immediately brick computer, eventually fix it but switch to suse>

"If you wanted wide software support why wouldn't you use arch"

"You can just learn the build tool chain for that software and do it yourself"

Etc Etc

The Linux community is very welcoming until you expect things to work.

Special hardware meaning a TPM chip to encrypt your data? Why would they force you to use 10 year old tech, way too new!

Remember they aren't forcing you to update, they just are telling you they won't support your old-ass shit :)

This makes actual sense tho since it's DRM free. Never understood the epic is evil but steam somehow is good. Both are DRM shills

But why? It's just a downloader. It downloads.

I dunno, I prefer this to having to take care of cows and growing my own crops.

Life and the endless crushing need for resources is the prison.

Yule log of poop

Y'all nerding out on here about the gnu compiler tool chain but don't have a chief technical officer? :p

Yes, most CEOs and most c++ users are sociopaths

I mean it worked for the Boeing 747 🙄
