Looks fairly similar to what you would do on Linux. Change registry to config file (unless you're using Gnome, then it's both). You're right though, on Windows, people don't usually have paragraph long commands to paste into the terminal to fix some issue. Instead, on Windows you have Microsoft support posts where a "Microsoft Community Support" non-employee pastes non-helpful boilerplate tech support copypasta which are somewhat adjacent to the user's issue.

Could that be because he's had fewer issues with Windows and hasn't had a need to troubleshoot it?
Windows 11 is a shitty version of Windows, but it's not Windows ME or Vista. It sucks because of the arbitrary CPU and TPM requirements, plus having AI forced into a user's desktop. Not to mention Microsoft is dragging its feet fixing performance issues in Explorer.
It's still very stable on good hardware with stable drivers. Point out the actual shit parts of Windows, not lazy callbacks to the days of Windows 98.
Not like that, it doesn't.
I've never heard of someone using bcdedit to change a boot flag, so a Bluetooth adapter will behave.
The lock screen problem I've seen myself a while back. At least in my case, I did not have permissions to the session manager config file, and the gui tool did not account for that. But I think I had to install the tool from the repo. It wasn't part of the base install.
The menu problem could be a Kubuntu or early plasma issue. Either way, not something I've ever seen in Windows.
I've not played Factorio but I've seen a vidjeo about it. How is the Windows version on Proton better than a Linux native version?
Wouldn't the correct answer be to fix the graphics driver or configuration? And why doesn't OpenGL just work? Or better yet, Vulkan?
It's this nonsense that keeps people locked in to Windows.
Like what? Genuinely asking as a Windows user with a few Linux machines.
My fantasy would be for people like you to vote so that someone like Trump doesn't win the presidency. Unfortunately, your informed voter principles stuck us with an actual tyrant.
I did not realize when you said:
OR war criminals who promise that "nothing will fundamentally change"
That you were referring to Joe Biden. Aside from you laughably calling him a war criminal, I apologize for not recognizing a such a noteworthy quote from 2019. But since we're here, let's have the full quote, shall we?
"I mean, we may not want to demonize anybody who has made money. The truth of the matter is, you all, you all know, you all know in your gut what has to be done. We can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is it’s all within our wheelhouse and nobody has to be punished. No one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change.”
So two elections ago, Biden assured a room full of rich people during a campaign event that they could continue being rich if he were elected. Then, during the 2024 election where he dropped out, you decided not to vote for his replacement, apparently based in part on this quote. Amazing.
So you, being the big brain political science major that you are, read the polls and decided to abstain from voting in the presidential race because you thought it was inevitable that Trump would win?
Sounds pretty far from intelligent to me. Whatever your motivation was, you chose not to vote against the nearly 80 year old narcissistic fascist with dementia, who is easily manipulated by anyone willing to kiss his giant shitty ass.
Your excuses may soothe your concious. To the rest of us, you are one of the many people responsible for the ongoing madness in the US.
Winning by less than 1% is not decisive.
Did you somehow miss that the meme is about the people who chose to vote for a third party, or not at all?
I've been out of the GPO game for a while, but I've never heard of widespread issues with laptops waking up even if their lids are closed. Did this start with Windows 11?
MacOS just working certainly has a lot more to do with supporting an exponentially smaller array of hardware than either Windows or Linux does.
If you're truly concerned about Microsoft re-enabling that task, it's puzzling that you would suggest an Apple product as an alternative.
They are as anti-choice as it gets.
ACPI enabled BIOSes and UEFI support wake timers.
Windows uses this feature to wake the PC all spooky like so you don't get to click the update button yourself.
While Windows doesn't have an Arch wiki, the instructions for turning the automatic wake feature off are a web search away. You'll need another web search to disable automatic updates though.

Name a real alternative to Adobe Acrobat. Especially Pro. Adobe has their crap on lockdown. And they know it, and they rape your wallet for it.
GIMP is good enough for me, and it may be a good cheaper alternative for budget minded professionals. But GIMP's UI and workflow design pale in comparison to Photoshop. I haven't used GIMP 3 yet though, maybe it's gotten better.
