    idk, it goes from writing one single word, (to a normal person), to scary multiple lines “hacking”, besides, they could just remove the registry option.

  Sounds like a great opportunity to promote the Linux community and let the different OS shine.

  We might be on the last version of Windows that I am willing to run.

    Why wait? Linux has never been better. I have tried to daily drive various distros for the better part of a decade and have just recently (about a year ago) settled in Arch and have never looked back.

      Arch … famous for being the distro friendly for Linux newcomers with a welcoming community.

      Convinience. I’m a gamer first and foremost, and more of a hardware person than a software person at that. I have a friend who games on Linux and I’ve seen the fights he sometimes goes through to make things run. Sometimes it’s great, and it’s awesome, and others… Well, we’ll lose a night or two before finally getting in, or deciding it ultimately won’t work.

      I know there are distros to ease these problems, improve capatibility, etc., but when compared to Win10, which I am comfortable on and understand, it’s just easier to stick.

      That said, I have my limits, and a forced Microsoft account is a hard no-go for me.

      As an aside, if you have any distros that you think would allieviate/solve my issues, feel free to link.

  I yearn for the day my daily driver is a thundercunt of a Linux machine.

      No job, no thundercunt rigs. Sorry :( Right now that windows machine runs Ansys and a bunch of softwares that, once I get employed, I’ll be running on my work machine. That’s when it’s never-going-back-to-windows time B-)
