    I've been a Linux user since the laptop I bought with Windows Me (Millennium Edition) crashed & burned. Someone smarter than me with computers got Windows 2000 working on that PC for about a week before the blue screen of death reappeared. I replaced that PC with one of those cheap ePCs that sold for $200-300, and came with either Windows XP or XanderOS (Linux). I went with Xander OS, opened a terminal, did a little typing, and ended up with a really nice netbook. I've been with Linux since, mostly Ubuntu and Mint, but also a short toe dip into Kali.

    It concerns me a but, all the reading I'm doing here with regard to so many people talking to switching to Linux...a few years ago, I read like 2% of Americans used Linux, and that it wasn't much of a hacking target, because there wasn't much in low hanging fruit. I'm a bit concerned with the seemingly growing popularity now, though.

    Windows 10 was still okay, Win 11 is unbearable

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

    It's because Microsoft was trying to steal mac's shine.

    I use fusion 360 on windows 11 for work. Then i come home to my linux and it feels right

    Windows 11 is awful i hate the UI the ADS and spyware. I debloated as much as i can but i need fusion for CAM/CAD. I bring my lenovo laptop with debian 12 incase i need to do something other than CAD. Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux

    Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux

    I mean, Fusion 360 even runs in a web browser (although it was unusably slow for me). It should be possible to port it to the Linux desktop.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Home users doing it is bad enough, but why the fuck is any business tolerating ads and spyware distracting their employeesβ€½

    Out of curiosity have you tried running it in a Wine/Proton environment? I’ve been able to utilize Steams β€œadd non-steam game to library” feature to then enable proton compatibility on simple windows programs.

    Only gripe I have is with file-browsing in this scenario.

    People to some point have gotten fusion working in a half baked state. Bottles has an installer for it. But all the mini windows float over windows regardless of tab. And gpu acell doesnt work for the most part. I wish it did work because i very easily could switch to linux at work but fusion 360 is the bread and butter of my job. (Yes ive tried freecad, i find it hard to use compared to fusion)

    You joke, but I attempted to set up a Windows partition back in January so I could play some games on Game Pass, and made it nearly a whole two hours before I wiped the partition and vowed never again.

    There were ads on the login screen. And that was just the start! I haven't seen so many ads on a desktop since the early 2000's when I used to fix PCs infected with spyware for people.

    Did you just rawdog the home version or something? You gotta use at least some protection man! LTSC Pro install, some debloat scripts... anything but a straight install.

    Lord knows what you could have caught!

    [–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (4 children)

    Problem is, there are no good debloat scripts. It's all written by amateurs who don't know what they're doing, messing up the system in subtle ways that then take ages to figure out.

    I'd say that the ctt winutil does a pretty good job. I've been running installs cleaned by it for a good year now without major issues

    that was literally me yesterday when i had to backup my wifes windows pc. maybe i can get her to switch on her old pc when support runs out...

    Work β€œupgraded” me to Windows 11 today. So fun learning how to do the same thing as always but with a much shittier workflow.

    [–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    Did she really do that? I'm flabbergasted she brought a pamphlet for her upcoming tour and a little flower to hold in front of the camera. This is the first and possibly last time you're going to space, Katy. How vain do you have to be to be holding things in front of a camera? I would be glued to the windows and savoring the sensation of weightlessness.

    When you're convinced that the world revolves around you, you probably won't have much appreciation for the universe.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

    There may not come another time where she's in all the news, worldwide. Gotta use every second to promote the upcoming tour with that amount of exposition, i guess.

    She did it and so did Gale King. The only good thing about this whole narcissistic, class-based, photo op ordeal was this meme. The best part is that they trained together for what, 8 months? They spend almost 3 minutes of their 4 minutes in space taking selfies of each other and playing with their devices. I guess they got their $100k a piece worth of PR.

    I helped my son install Windows 10 on a spare SSD for Fortnite. His first comment after booting into Windows: Why is it so ugly?

    After the novelty of playing Fortnite wore off he's back to Linux.

    Honestly gaming on Linux is so good these days, it’s almost on par with Windows there. Really the only major games that can’t be played are due to anticheat rootkits… which are a security nightmare anyway.
