Windows users: Windows work just fine, nobody asked you!
And then proceed to make another dozen of memes with problems even more annoying than this.
The only people making memes about a fuckin' operating system are Linux nerds
I can guarantee that.

Influx of Linux users.
OH yes, do I have a wall-of-text for you. Lazypasting a relevant comment I made regarding the UI direction windows has taken for the past decade and a half:
Example, if I want to change the thingamajig-ratio of the skoodleblurp, utilizing the brumblebork method:
- Linux: skoodle -s thinga 50 (brumblebork is assumed by default unless something else is explicitly defined via --method=)
- msdos 6.0: skoodleb /thing 50 /brumblebork
- win 3.x and win95: can't do that natively, but the msdos method still works for some reason.
- WinME: Nobody knows how it's done, or even if it's possible. Anyone who wants to adjust this is smart enough to avoid WinME
- win2k: after right clicking my computer and selecting properties, it's a setting hidden somewhere in the hardware tab, provided you're running the latest SP.
- win98: same as win2k, except a reboot is required afterwards
- XP: same as win2k, except a defrag is required afterwards. Also, Teletubbies color schema.
- win vista: back to rebooting. The change may not have been applied. It will not tell you either way.
- win 7: finally they made it functional and easily accessible via the control panel
- win 8: uh oh, the control panel of ye olden days is no more. We have a new thing going, so there are two way of doing it. The newer method isn't quite as flexible as the old control panel, though; you need to regedit for proper brumblebork.
- win 8.1: They fixed the new panel, but you can't fit it on a single screen due to excessive dead space padding. And sometimes you get told to contact the sysadmin. For your computer. That you own.
- Win 10: It fits on one screen now, you just have a million sub-menus to navigate through; control panel -> network -> advanced -> skoodleblurp -> advanced -> thingamajig -> advanced (yep, again) -> ratio slider -> apply -> OK -> submit -> execute -> "are you sure?" -> (three minutes of that nondes ript spinning circle that replaced the hour glass) -> Fuck you, you forgot to check the brumblebork box half an hour ago. At this point it's easier to get WSL up and running and then run
skoodle -s thinga 50 --method=brumblebork (method not implied. WSL isn't that good) - Win 11: you have to log in to support.microsoft.com with your Microsoft account, using edge, and hope it has detected that you are running an OS that supports this. Then you can download a service patch that may or may not be relevant. Either way it changes your default search to fucking Bing.
Just reading this made me so angry

Turn off automatic update.
You can restart without updating, it’s literally a menu option.
Non-problem solved.
You either don’t use windows or your computer is so old windows stopped updates for it. It does not matter if you turn off automatic updates. Windows just turns it back on again anyway next time you restart your computer.
-
I am aware, but I think I rather stick with an unsafe system than a spying but 'secure' system. New Ameliorated versions accounted that and you can update whenever you like. I just haven't gone through the trouble of a fresh install..
You're already being spied on... you're on windows

My TPM is off, it still bugs me about updating to windows 11. Thats okay I've been dual booting bazzite and really only use windows for a couple of games that I havent figured out how to get running yet
Out of curiosity, what games? I'm not going to throw unsolicited advice at you — I'm just wondering because all of my games have been astoundingly easy to get working on Linux.
-
Oh, are there Linux users here? Hi, welcome!
I use Manjaro, btw
*ducks*
Genuinely curios why you use manjaro over ie. ALCI?

That's what Ameliorated is doing... Getting rid of that very thing.

The big one that I can't get to work is Star Citizen (I know, I know) but there's a some Steam games like Deep Rock Galactic (might be the fact that its multiplayer) that just immediately crash or only run a few minutes then crash like Avowed (may just be avowed doing avowed things)

Braces himself for the influx of Linux users
Every time I hop to boot camp lol.

I've actually been using Fedora Atomic Budgie for the past couple of months. Manjaro kept breaking when I tried it, it didn't seem to like my laptop very much. But I thought it would be funny to mention it since a lot of Linux people really don't like Manjaro!

That makes sense. Although for what it's worth, I don't recall having any problems with Deep Rock Galactic, so whatever issues you had with that may be specific to your particular set up

I play both Star Citizen and DRG without any issues on Linux (I use Arch btw).
For Star Citizen you need to run the installer through a compatibility layer like Lutris, but then it should install and work fine (though I haven't played in about half a year, so more recent changes may have broken things). For DRG, I just installed through Steam. I don't even think I'm using GE or anything and just running it native.
