Who's in charge?

Glad to see another voice of sanity regarding Windows.
If you haven't learned by now, on Lemmy the only valid option for dealing with Windows configuration and basic Windows admin tasks is to yeet Windows and go to Linux.

Not true. The only valid option to deal with Windows at all is to yeet it and go to Linux.

Now I've learned enough to know that I can easily learn what all that apparent gibberish does with the "man" command, but you have no idea how unbelievably unapproachable this makes Linux look to the uninitiated.
You don’t have to use the cli. But it’s nice to have the option if you want to.

To own something is to control it.
You clearly don't have control, therefore you don't own it, microsoft does. You can fix that by seizing the means of computation and install linux.
Just to have linux be even more ruthless with its permission schemes.

One time Windows told me I needed admin privileges to edit s file. I had admin privileges.

"Own me? Maybe my physical form - but I don't have to do shit for you if you don't treat me with respect! Want to edit that file without my permission? Go ahead and do it yourself - take a magnetic needle and open up the HDD case yourself!"
So... Go try that and notice Windows is basically always encrypted at rest nowadays.
You can always decap your TPM and use a STM to read the static charges on its memory... But, good luck doing that.

sudo edit this file!

When you switch to an admin account on Windows, there are still files owned by "TrustedInstaller" that you can't touch, and processes owned by "System" that you can't terminate.
Linux doesn't have that. When you switch to root, you can kill any process. You can modify or delete any file.

You needed permission from the SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller account.
Which you can give to yourself if you are admin.

Or just ... right click to change ownership...
You don't have to change your whole OS because you can't access a file. I thought you Linux users knew how to use technology properly. But it seems you are "power users" instead.

Which I am starting to suspect a ton of Linux users on here are incapable of.

What the hell are you talking about? Permissions issues in Windows have absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft owning your files.

That isn't the reason to yeet Windows. If you were talking years ago about 7 or XP, things were different. 10 is not that great comparably, and 11 is a mess. But keep your Windows, if it's what works for you. Until it doesn't.
Dual boot for the best of both worlds (although I'm finding myself more and more on the Linux side because it's better for me.)
Even Windows 11 still has all the options Windows 7 had, and plenty more. Stop swallowing the Linux propaganda.

"TakeOwnership Registry Hack" PSA. It just werks.
Why use a hack when you can just go into properties and take ownership there?
The only thing this does is make a shortcut.

sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /* && sudo chmod -R 777 /*I use:
alias thisfolderismine='sudo chown -R $USER' alias thisfileismine='sudo chown $USER' -

I'm not talking about just the files. I'm talking more generally.

Like I said to /u/entwine413 I am talking more generally, not just about literal files.
