Ah right

I bet there’s still a lot of stuff coded in that era that is still used in windows 11, like the drive format dialog or some icon resources

If you don’t join a domain, win11 pro will automatically install all the sponsored stuff exactly like win11 home at first login. There’s no difference in the two editions except only the pro can join a domain. Exactly same level of bloat, even if it’s more expensive

I wonder how many would just do it for the extra discount and then use massgrave

Edit:

I went to watch their prices for the diy series

• Win 11 home is +145€
• Win 11 pro is +259€
• Ubuntu is free

(Preinstalled, is +220 € for win 11 pro or free Ubuntu, can’t get win home edition if preinstalled)

It’s very unlikely that those printers can support the new “universal print” standard (mopria, 2013)

At most can put them as generic printer text only which is worse

On the plus side, for example, there are thousands of printers and scanners where the manufacturer never released a 64bit windows driver even if some of them were sold during the vista 64 bit era or even windows 7.

In that case Linux it’s the only way to make them work on a modern computer (unless supported by paid third party drivers like vuescan or printfab)

And that some programs are extremely opinionated.

Ignoring requests with thousands of posts, or even pull requests where the changes are already implemented

“No. I won’t add tabs, it’s better UX to have separate windows”

“No, I won’t allow the user to save the password, even if it’s local or not important”

“All the temporary shit will be saved on the hardcoded directory ~/.fuckyou and not /tmp”

This stuff unfortunately depends by the desktop environment and because there are hundreds of them, it’s inconsistent.

On gnome it remembers it correctly, although there are a handful of times where the gamepad doesn’t connect automatically and I have to manually do that

Wow this is the exact perfect example of why someone should install from AUR as less as possible, manually checking the pkgbuild and not just “yay yolo”

In this case the archive seems to be clean and be what wd would send if contacted, (even Windows versions are in the zip)

Btw WTF WD. Why making a tool and its documentation only available on request?? It is nothing special, more or less do the same stuff that the GUI can do (show details, send erase command, send ATA password command).

It doesn’t seem to be able to disable the activity LED

He either has var on a dedicated partition or has a 12 gb drive in 2025

Never tried but I read many people complaining that it’s very hard to remove/revert

Adobe shit doesn’t work properly in wine

Maybe requiring locking bootloader “for safety” on desktop computers if they want to run windows 12

Because it’s widely known that ai bros totally care and respect copyrights so when the bot sees that comment, will 100% remove that post from their training data instead of just ignoring it and continue scraping the same url 20 times a minute

In the end I’m learning how everything works “behind the scenes” with a shock therapy (disclaimer: while I didn’t use Linux as my personal desktop, I have a decade of experience with Linux servers, otherwise this migration would have been impossible to understand for me)

I was expecting for example an easy toggle for dark mode instead needs to set several constants on the terminal (for GTK, for qt, and so on)

Everything needs one hour of searching but I’m documenting everything for future reference in a markdown file

And I had to set home as a git repository because otherwise a literal comma in a wrong spot would crash everything and I wouldn’t be able to revert it

For example I wanted to show the WiFi status on the taskbar (default doesn’t show) and I forgot a comma in the JSON configuration file. The taskbar (waybar) didn’t even start next time and I was presented with a completely empty wallpaper lol

lowest end i3

I see it as a donation rather than a real “pro” version as a single terminal command can transform “lite” to “pro”

Because of the risk of accidentally wiping the main drive if you’re just copy pasting stuff

“Let me tell you, folks, this, what we’re seeing right now, it’s HUGE, okay? I mean, some people are saying—and I don’t know, but they’re saying—it could be the biggest rugpull in the history of rugpulls. Tremendous potential. Absolutely tremendous. Nobody’s ever seen a rugpull like this before, believe me.”

I hate that kind of instructions “just blindly pipe curl to bash and hope it’s not malware “
