Every political position should just be done by a Blåhaj.

My Blåhajar: Definitely not Hitlers, and also of course alive.

With the stock installer? Not really. However, technically the installer itself is a very, very minimal windows. Just open up a cmd (with Ctrl + F12 or smth I believe) and you can open notepad from there, meaning you have a graphical file “manager”. And from there you can do things such as executing BIOS installers, which will actually work - even though the WM looks pretty weird, you will be able to use very simple programs just fine - such as cmd, or the Intel BIOS installer.

Windows does not really have a version afaik, so I just update it every few months. Debian live is just for visually editing/moving partition in complex setups, and I can fix my Arch install with an installer/live iso that’s months old. It’s just that I don’t want multiple USB-Sticks, and need multiple ISOs at the same time (eg. Arch and debian live for rescuing my installs, or Win 10/11 for new Installs for more tech illiterate people - Win 10 is the “just functions” thing for my father, when we need a laptop for proprietary laptops, and 11 is for other people who need something set up. Additionally, I use Windows’ installer environment to update my Laptops, servers and workstations BIOS.)

Different Linux distros and Windows. Because I regularly need them.

NVidia borks my installation sometimes. Then my stupidity to choose the non-dkms beta driver from the AUR. But all in all, my non-NVidia-devices (server, workstation and laptop) run fine on arch testing, updated every time I use one of those devices.

Well in the time until Windows rebooted 15 times Windows 12 will be out.

You can either get something that is representative, so the median, by choosing mid traits (mid spiritualistic, mid artistic, mid intro/extroverted, med IQ), or by choosing at random. Everything else would not be representative, and depending on your own traits, you would be biased - eg. non spiritualistic, non artistic, introverted, anxious, mid IQ, technology oriented, but also trans and depressed. Some of those I would obviously not see as an average trait, but being atheist and non-spiritualistic would definitely be on my list, despite not being the actual norm.

Even that looks and probably IS better than Windows is, was, or ever will be.

Not including Pascal btw. And considering how buggy my PC (NVidia) is compared to my Laptop (HD Intel), I will still use AMD. Also because it will take years until the open source driver will have reached the stability, integrity and quality the AMD driver has due to contributions of Linux people.

Sounds like Windows.

Typisch Deutscher.

Latein hab ich tatsächlich abgebrochen. War aber auch Überschmutz mMn. Oder ich war einfach nur übelst schlecht darin. Ich kenne lediglich nur noch “sum fui esse, jetzt gibt es auf die Fresse”. Und genau so wenig, wie ich Nix im Lateinischen kenne, kenne ich NixOS. Wie ist das so?

As “nix” is slang for “nothing” in german, you just said “Nothing is awesome”. Which isn’t true, because Linux is.

Is it even possible to not do that? Like at some point I configured x to rely on y, but when fixing z I need to change y so x breaks.

And then back, I suppose?

We do that. But at some point, it has to stop. We can’t just say “one last client” when new ones come in right after the previous leaves, and you don’t want to be unfair. And cleaning takes HOURS. Even in a small fast food restaurant. You need to strategically close things down, preferably things we’re out of anyway.

I can research a new PC, fix my Arch, introduce new tools to my Arch and eat at the same time.

Well, why what? Why do I have to install it? Because there are A LOT of old people in my village, who only ever used windows, and when I repair their stuff or get them new stuff I often have to (re)install windows. And windows is the virus I’m talking about, because IMHO, it literally IS Spyware, Adware and a Trojan. Literally every criteria is met for those kinds of viruses. MacOS is just a lighter Spyware and potentially a Trojan, but can be expanded to be all three (especially a RAT Trojan) very easily. Linux, on the other hand, has only very few, single instances of separate Distros having ads (Canonical/Ubuntu) or Spyware via Telemetry (Also Ubuntu), but not only can Telemetry be disabled, one could also use another distro. Like Arch btw.

I regularly infect other peoples Laptops, and my own VMs as well, with a very common Spyware/Adware/Trojan. It comes in two different versions, the newer one being much more aggressive than the older one. It’s a ‘premium’ product costing up to $250 officially. The only way to really get rid of it is a full disk clean, otherwise it hides itself into separate, hidden partitions. It IS very annoying to install, considering it’s very slow, buggy and needs a terminal to circumvent the online account (even more tracking, technically, but I don’t want to create an account myself). And it even crashes all the time, takes ages to update and is a magnet for other viruses. I myself of course don’t have it, i use Linux after all. But most people seem to like Windows, for some reason, so I have to install it for them.
