    How do you know someone is a Linux user?

    They’ll fucking tell you.

      You know, that saying doesn’t work nearly as well when the conversation is actually about people’s experience with operating systems.

        I mean, go to any tech related post and every thread quickly becomes about Linux regardless of what it was about.

        We just need the rest of the Linux gang to experience the glory of pacman+AUR, it’s not our fault they don’t listen.

  That’s bad, but at the very least, Windows can be customized to hide all that crap. Some options are up front, some require a lot more digging, but it can be de-advertised. Xbox is way more locked down.

    The first thing I do on any new Windows install is turn web results off in search. This resolves the exact problem people are constantly complaining about.

  I’ve never seen an ad on Windows 10 or 11. Been using 11 for over a year at this point. The start menu just has my pinned apps and recent files.

    There may be regional differences, depending on how much local laws allow Microsoft to profit off of you…
