What pissed me off is garbage like candy crush and my virtual pets being installed in the background on the start menu. It would even reinstall after a major update. As much as I dislike Canonical's ubuntu it really is turnkey distro with decent touch screen support.
because it's not uninstalling it, it's just hidden from your profile. the files are still there, to get rid of them for good you have to do it via powershell. good thing only in linux you need to use the command line tho...
I will say something positive about Linux.. Plasma is beautiful and works great when its properly set up . Its a shame its such a pain in the ass to get it there.
source on the wallpaper and icons?
It can be used as access control. Revoke access to any software or hardware where the proper authentication is absent. That has never happened, but its possible.
it's gonna be worse. remember how consoles can get their service access disabled? we all know how the TPTB hate anonymity on the internet, you WILL have your online ID tied to your hardware, and god forbid you ever shitpost too hard or express the wrong opinion. mandatory accounts tied to your phone number are basically already that.
if you think that's too far you must be obviously a nazi and anti-democratic, because why else would you complain about that?
Anyway, there's the usual pattern playing out in this thread. A linuxfag tries to convey their take on the subject and the recurring winfags all say how they can't do "their thing" on linux so it's dumb and not normie-ready, then ironically snarkpost until the linuxfag goes away for a bit. It's all so tiresome.
because lot of wintards are schroedinger's user, their requirements are so casual they absolutely never run into any issues on windows, yet have such extraordinaire requirements and such exotic hardware that linux can't even install (somehow, when it's the doom of operating systems).
What I don't understand is what's so hard to get that "most people" means the majority of the population. The 100 million+ (in the US) who make up most computer users. You seriously think most (>50%) are using Photoshop, editing videos, installing graphics cards, etc?
which is the other thing. even if linux would be absolutely fine for most wintards, you immediately get OMG I NEED PHOTOSHOP TO CROP IMAGES and I CAN ONLY WRITE BASIC BITCH LETTERS IN MICROSOFT WORD. it's not even getting used to another software which already does more than they'd ever need, it doesn't have the brand name on it, so might as well not exist, and if it does it's shit. ironically boomers have an easier time switching since they don't understand any of it anyway and just need certain software do what they want, for them it makes zero difference if they read their mails in thunderbird or outlook.
another thing to consider: almost every linuxfag used or still uses windows, either because they need to or prefer it for certain tasks, and there's nothing wrong with using the right tool for the job. how many wintards who cry over linux ever actually used it besides maybe running a live-cd? which either means they have no fucking clue what they're even talking about and/or are so pleb-tier users like any facebook grandma they won't need anything other than MS' buttplug OS anyway...
and the worst of it all is probably that they're not even aware of how shit some aspects of windows are, like all the little "wat" moments you mentioned and people either don't notice or not care about, but suddenly are a big deal whenever they try linux - which either makes them disingenuous, retarded or both.
