Discord... Still isn't public?
They're certainly talking about it but they haven't announced a date yet.
Having said that, element and matrix are both more privacy respecting so I do agree with the recommendation in general.

Apologies, I striked the lines out of my previous comment. It simply was an example of how you still can be captured.

I'm in the same boat waiting for Linux to be a bit more "feature complete," for me to daily.
In the mean time, check out W11 Enterprise IoT LTSC. It's the secret menu item equivalent W11 they don't wanna sell to consumers. It feels like a fresh W7 install with no AI, no bloat, no bullshit, and can even disable all telemetry. Only comes with Edge and Defender.
massgrave.dev has the iso's and permanent activators.
Edit: Adding that you can install the App Store and Xbox App to make use of Game Pass.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Thanks. I'll look into that. My current version had been pushing me to update, which I've been postponing and I'm guessing is free, but I'm not sure it'll give the choice of version. My work computer just updated to W11 Enterprise literally this morning, so I'll get myself used to it here before making the leap.

Yeah but then you can't run Xbox Games Pass or anything fun like that.
I can live without Game Pass.

installation of software on Linux is very bad. Literally everything else on Linux is very ready for the mass market, but installing apps is horrible to the point of making the whole OS not ready for the general public
What? When was the last time you tried Linux?
With flatpak, it’s usually a one-click process to install anything nowadays.

You can install the Store and Xbox app, and use Gamepass. I have a friend that does this, after I showed them how.

Switching to Linux made me like computers again. Switching to Hyprland made me love computers again.
Switching to TempleOS made me hear the voices again.

I use Linux regularly, and the last time i installed an app was probably within the past 365 days

Modern Mac hardware is excellent. The software is good too, but’s more a matter of taste. Not everybody likes how macOS works but Asahi Linux has made incredible progress so it’s a daily driver option for some already.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Mac hardware is a fucking atrocity. $2k for a "pro" laptop with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage and no i/o except 4 USBC ports, that's completely and intentionally irreparable and unupgradeable? SSDs and RAM that are marked up 3000%? That's what you call "excellent"? If they were cheap I might not completely object to them being disposable but it's the opposite. It's fucking gaslighting. You'll never convince me it's anything other than a cult.

Actually, Linux doesn't block windows, it just isn't windows.
Just reason saying.
Actually it does! When youre installing, just delete the windows boot partition and your done!

Can Recall not just be turned off?
For now it is opt-in. It's unlikely to remain that way.
-
For an update or two, at least. Windows features tend to get turned back on after updates quite frequently.
That's why you leverage group policy or local security policies to disable these features.

What's easier in Windows compared to Linux?
Graphics drivers. I can't say I ever had a graphics driver update in Windows that rendered my system borderline unusable, but I 100% blame Nvidia for me running windows until recently. I tried a dozen times over a decade and ended up back on windows when the Nvidia update trashed my system and I got sick of dealing with it.
On team green and running Bazzite with no issues
That's more of an Nvidia problem than a Linux problem.

That would be totally true if every software was distributed as a flatpak and every distro had flatpak enabled in the package manager out of the box. That's just not reality.

Brave 🤮

There's one in every thread.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!

The fact that the dev behind brave is a homophobe isn't opt in though...
Also, their whole business model was (is?) just replacing ads with ads they get paid for.

Not even then. For example the biggest Linux distribution in use is Ubuntu, and it doesn't have flatpak built in. So even if a flatpak of an app is available, a user of Ubuntu would have to already understand what a flatpak is, and already know that it would make the app installable on Ubuntu, and know that flatpak itself can be installed separately, and know how to use a different install method already just to get the flatpak system onto their computer in the first place

funny thing is ban evaders(the ones that make hundreds of accounts for OF or links) use it for its anti-fingerprinting which is useful against reddit(temporarily) ability to read the browser. i used to temporarily, and kinda explains why my last acc was only shadowbanned much later than thier purges.(i was hit by thier AI moderation as soon as switched to a different browser fork of FF)
