Last major release, 4.1, was 2014. It’s a dead duck.

They all get a downvote from me.

No, u.

I’m pretty sure there has never been an instance of socialism or communism in which the economy was even a teeny tiny bit worker-owned.

Imagine paying for Windows when massgravel exists…

when I installed Windows 11 Pro yesterday, there was no obvious option to install without an internet connection and a Microsoft account

…

Christ on a fucking cracker man, leave the fucking ethernet cable unplugged…

Installing Windows from scratch is as easy, if not easier, than installing Linux. If you think it’s difficult, that really seems like a you problem.

I had to run a hidden script at a specific point during the install to allow me to not have to use a Microsoft account

No, all you had to do was leave the PC disconnected from the internet during the install.

I had to install a 3rd party Nvidia driver update tool because their official one requires making an account and gives a bunch of unwanted ads as notifications.

The nVidia driver, direct from nVidia, certainly does not require an account. Only need an account if you plan on using GeForce Experience.

Opnsense is a fork of pfSense. It’s wildly successful. Plex was a fork of XBMC (which itself became Kodi). Plex is also wildly successful. You should probably think before you speak.

There is nothing difficult about installing Windows, whether the drive is unformatted or not.

You still have to type your password when you type sudo…

You anti-systemd folks are so insufferable.

Copyright originally existed for this reason. It no longer exists for this reason, and hasn’t for a long time.

Such a wonderful, thoughtful, creative retort. You must be an AI chat-bot.

What AIs “create” is almost always based on something a human being made first.

The exact same thing can be said for any piece of art created by a human.

going back means being stuck with Windows 11 again

Windows 10 can 100% still be installed. I say that from a Win10 install.

It 100% is guerilla marketing for Temple OS.

Congratulate yourself then. The propaganda you and your ilk continue to spew is the reason for this.

Reading comprehension isn’t really your strong suit, eh? “The incompetent and ignorant people that try to hinder it’s use is the problem”
