This is absolutely correct. We’ve gone back in time where desktops today, despite its computer power, runs slower than a fresh install of windows XP.

I don't know of any distros that come out and say they built the distro specifically because they were against LGBTQ stuff. But the ones I mentioned specifically said they aren't playing along with the current day politics like DEI and pride garbage. The distro I use is definitely centered around being an operating system and not a propaganda outlet.

He's gay and has marched in pride parades. He's said "I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me."

Don't they do purism? I like companies that do hardware to work with the software.its my biggest gripe running Linux. It's why a steam box might unironically become the best windows competitor.

lmao, can’t answer the question.

On my computer, and in virtual machines, the terminal package manager runs better than the graphical one. I blame GNOME for this.

I'm on xfce, and GNOME apps are still a pain in the ass.

emulation (or whatever you call it when you use Windows stuff on Linux) is always a crapshoot. there's a whole page out there with a whole ranking system just to see what games can run through those emulators and how well, for example. it's not that simple.

and alt culture programs online are infamous for a reason. every other one has you set up some completely different compiler methodology that you then have to debug yourself when it inevitably doesn't work on the first try. just getting an .exe you can run for basically any Windows program has real value when you're trying to do things and don't want to waste time finding the cool open source version with 0.1x the features and usability instead.

our time on this Earth is too limited to be spending it figuring out random Linux crap, honestly. i think a debloated Windows with as much telemetry turned off as possible (through O&O ShutUp for example) is the best option for a real modern working man.
