For my “convenience” and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait

Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

    “I installed malware on my computer and now the malware does what the author of the malware wants.”

    Oh no. Anyway…

      More like “My computer came with malware and I’m starting to realise that’s what it is” in most cases.

      Ladies and gentlemen, a prime example of exactly why people don’t switch to Linux.

      The loudest portion of the community are insufferable twats, and you know it’s bad because I’m an insufferable twat and I’m calling this one out on it.

        Most of the Linux communities are the same.

        often the content isn’t even related to Linux it’s just tirades of anger against corporations. Doesn’t even have to be Microsoft, any commercial that dares make any move in the Linux space - Canonical, red hat, oracle get derided too.

        Yeah, but, DAE LE WINDASS WINDOWNS BAD??! LOL LE MICRO SHIT USERS LOLOLOL XD XD EGGS DEE MI$RO$OFT IS BIL GAETS DIK JOKE. Seems perfectly welcoming to me, especially the heavy insinuation that absolutely everything is PEBKAC, even if you’re on a fresh install of something allegedly intended for mainstream - following verbatim, explicitly appropriate instructions. If you’re really lucky, someone might deign to link you an LMGTFY.

        This stuff truly has helped make Desktop Linux a force to be reckoned with over the years. So much so that Year of Desktop Linux has been… pretty much every year of the past 20, I think.

        On Windows, we all know it’s spackled together shit with shoe strings, spit and duct tape - probably still involving some tech out of the 70s-80s or at least tech debt from back then. We tend to not pretend it’s flawless because no software is.

        People like OP install obviously shit software and then whine on the Internet about how shit the software is they chose.

        People like you cry about that someone points out how it’s obviously their own fault entirely.

        I’m pretty sure I’m not the most insufferable twat in this thread. Not even close.

          Yup, you are the insufferrable twat. You just keep proving their point. Just move on, life isn’t about “winning” imaginary internet discussions.

      i agree with your contention, but sadly many are forced to use windows for work or school.
