Why Linux is Better Than Windows 11

[jumuta@sh.itjust.works]

he definitely leans right but he still supports foss and all the important stuff around that so does it actually matter much as a Linux YouTuber?

also his level of schizo is pretty funny

We have seen where just not caring about someone being the right wing nut job has led. Are we really going to keep using that excuse?

[slacktoid@lemmy.ml]

No ads in operating system. Simple.

I like Windows 11. It has the best HDR support of any OS, bar none. AutoHDR is a godsend.

My only complaint is about the taskbar, which I fixed by installing StartAllBack.

nervous Ubuntu noises

Linux is cool, shame about the video being by Mental Outlaw though

dictators will dictate whatever their political alignment is

[slacktoid@lemmy.ml]

Elaborate?

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

Aw, that sucks that they're infesting Linux, too. I thought that free/open source would be too commie-socialist for them.

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

It isn't cool if it's offending people, though. And clearly it is.

I'm all for using "theme" as a replacement.

I switched my server from Ubuntu to Fedora, partly so I don't get sold Ubuntu pro on every login lol.

What is socialist to Linus is libertarian to Eric Raymond. In huge collaborative communities people need to learn to get along and be tolerant but if they can't handle that they also have the freedom to fork so there is room for everyone to find their own space.

Potentially faster installation

Particularly when you're flashing the ISO you downloaded from MS to USB and it doesn't work unless you use MS's magic tool. Thus dropping you into the bootstrap paradox.

Especially because it gets partway through the install before failing to load NVMe drivers complaining there is no installation media to load them from.

It turns out it's faster to install Ubuntu and download one of MS's windows VM's and use that to download and flash a USB than actually install Windows 11.

[slacktoid@lemmy.ml]

True but also don't conflate Ubuntu with Linux

[meliante@lemmy.world]

Why is my T440s so much slower on fedora than w11?

[terraroot@sh.itjust.works]

How about "farkle" to take another term from the motoring world?
