Could be worse. You could have died while trying to put on a sweater.

Yep. Honestly, Lemmy feels like a circlejerk sometimes.

How dare you speak out against Steam?! Can't you see they're the good guys?!

~~Metro Exodus was like 5 bucks just a few months after launch. Since it's the sequel to a very successful series, I have to imagine it did terrible.~~

Edit: Nope. It was one of the best selling games of all time.

Oh, yeah, already did it. I was more so speaking to the experience a regular user would get out of the box.

lol this is the exact same rethoric people were spewing when Windows 7 went EOL because Windows 10 was sooo bad and now everyone's fighting tooth and nail to keep using it. W11 is basically a better skin on W10. Just move on.

Honestly, I don't get the hate of Windows 11. Sure, compatibility is a shitshow but if you can install it, it's better than W10. I updated a couple months back and was pleasantly surprised. Things I like:

  • Improved tiling
  • The new terminal app is actually usable.
  • More consistent theming
  • Settings menu is no longer useless
  • Last two points combined result in me not getting flashbanged nearly as often as I did in W10
  • Improved volume mixer. I even ditched EarTrumpet.
  • Most people won't care about this one, but the little pop-ups that appear when you hover an icon in the system tray don't get stuck in your screen as much as they did in W10.

Things that got worse:

  • The start menu. Seriously. Stop with the redesigns.
  • Taskbar is no longer movable. I liked it on the left.
  • They hid the right click menu under an additional "More options" menu for some reason

Disclaimer: I only use my Windows computer for playing games. I do all of my regular day to day computing on my laptop with Fedora (KDE spin because ~~I'm not a godless heathen~~ I like it better). I'm also running the Education version, which is basically Enterprise so I have feature updates straight up turned off and only get security updates. It also doesn't have any ads but my ROG Ally has W11 Home and it doesn't have any ads either, so I don't even know what's real anymore.

100 what? USD? If so, I used to routinely buy around that amount back when I was a cokehead and I still did it by getting in the back of the car. Perhaps it's just different cultures. I can't even imagine myself picking drugs from a tree (?)

What happened to the good old days when you got into the back of a car with a shady guy?
