Hilarious joke 🙄
Comment on I just want to set a timer for MY FOOD WINDOWS WHY?
SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 11 months agoI have never had problems with windows updates nor has it never rebooted on me. Dunno what the hate is for, at least windows works without knowing 79 different programming languages and having to scour through git repos from 2002 for drivers just to get a driver compiled for your headset (it wont compile because it requires a bingbong-SDK mainted by a guy from turkey who refuses to update it from 1.95v2 to more recent 1.99-6 which is incompatible with your dial-up modem)

From command line it’s “sudo dnf update” for example and if you use flatpak, “flatpak update”, updates everything. Or just click update in software manager.
There are programs that are not compiled/packaged by their developers and you have to do it yourself, but so are on Windows. But for OS from Microsoft noone would mention such program, because compiling on Windows is nightmare in comparason. C for example was designed for Unix-like systems. More high-level languages have less dependency installing, but still.
Nowadays people run WSL to compile programs for Windows and that says something…

Crazy how you say that first paragraph with zero irony. If linux was good or easily accessible it would be used. You can choose which one it’s not.

As he literally says you can just click update… don’t fucking use it if you don’t want to but then don’t be like “IT SHOULD NOT EXIST CMD LINE BAD!!”
You never have to touch it on most typical distros. At all.

I have never needed to use my programming knowledge to use Linux nor have I had an issue with drivers. Dunno what the hate is for, at least Linux works without changing half the values in the registry to make it tolerable or having an active internet connection (it won’t install the OS without making you create a Microsoft account so they can attach all of the information they collect on you to a profile that enables them to deliver more relevant advertisements directly to your operating system)
Arrakis@lemmy.world 11 months ago
it won’t install the OS without making you create a Microsoft account
I’m not pro-Windows by any means, but this simply isn’t true.
Swiggles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Yea, kinda. It forces it hard though.
There is no obvious way to skip the MS account. You can select that it is a managed device and create a local user that way, but afaik that’s the last option left and obviously it is there for a very different intention.
I am sure that if MS could remove it completely they would.

You need to open a secret command prompt and type in a command. The person in replying to is apparently deathly allergic to typing out simple commands in a terminal, so he certainly wouldn’t be able to get around it.
SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You don’t need to open a secret command prompt or type a command to not install without an account lmao. Linux fanboys just keep on lying to support their dying OS It’s hilarious haha.
Arrakis@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Um, no you don’t. I mean you can do it that way if you want I suppose, but you can just use the good ol’ decline button too.
SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Huh? I haven’t got a microsoft account on my pc mate.
skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 11 months ago
I don’t remember any version of Windows I actively use ever auto updating for me either, but that’s because I turned that shit off myself. I had a test VM reboot itself at some point, but it recovered itself perfectly so I only noticed it because the open Firefox tabs all appeared to have unloaded by themselves.
You don’t need to know any programming languages to use Linux, and if you’re a nornal computer user and buy a Mac you don’t need to compile anything either. You’re also free from Microsoft’s stupid advertising and Edge sabotage.
I’ll have you know the reason why my laptop didn’t display over a dock isn’t because of bingbong-SDK, but rather because Linux 6.1 altered a kernel API that evdi 1.14 didn’t support, hence breaking the DisplayLink driver written by Synaptic, thank you very much. But yeah, this stuff does happen occasionally and it sucks. But hey, the problem wasn’t Nvidia’s terrible software for once!
SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I find it funny how you say it wasn’t bingbong-SDK and then go on to explain what actually happened, and even that could’ve been a satirical comment I would’ve written.
skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 11 months ago
These issues are common for people running bleeding edge Linux like me, it’s just something you accept when you use code that was finished a week ago rather than wait for it to be tested for stability for months like most Windows code.
You don’t get that stuff on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/Fedora, or course.
ilinamorato@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Meanwhile I had to reboot Windows four times today.

Do you ever feel tired of having to type 55 lines of commands into the console just to open Wine to actually use your pc?
agent_flounder@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Not really because I just use the stuff. I only use the command line for very basic stuff, usually.
Linux is really nowhere near as hard as you’re making it out to be, 99% of the time.
Yeah, there are times when you run into edge cases that are frustrating. Although I’ve had that with windows once in awhile.
I’ve used Mint for about 10y then ran into a situation where AMD gfx card was too new for the kernel and switched to a Fedora based distro. Which is kind of outrageous to have to do that. But that’s the first time in a decade.
I try to stick to hardware that is fairly mainstream or which implements mainstream standards.
It helps a lot if you’re comfortable with bash. Otherwise if you run into issues and some website gives you a bunch of commands they look like line noise.
I mean, *nix is kind of arcane. But once you know about command format, pipes, redirects, and maybe a couple dozen commands, it gets a lot better.
I learned all this stuff back in the late 80s so it is second nature to me. But it was a learning curve back then. But then, so is powershell or dos.

I can install whatever I want without any command lines lmao. Thanks for proving my point. Windows just kinda works with an (mostly) intuitive UI and no need to remember thousands of commands which make no sense.
