honestly when i got that message i saw it more as a threat (cuz they're forcing it on others)

[@marcfuchs6938]

Oh yeah, same here. When I saw that notification, I was like "wonderful, Microsoft won't force install it in the background at some point" I got a new laptop a few months ago with W11, and I had considered downgrading it to W10, but since I can't be sure all the drivers deliver full power under W10, I stayed with W11. It's gladly rather similar to W10, just more sucky in a few areas - like the start menu, which I am modding for years with open shell. Other than that, the sounds were kinda boring in W10 already, but damn are they bad in W11. have installed the XP sound pack, but for whatever reason, despite offering to change system sounds, W11 remains playing it's annoyingly boring sounds. Probably one of those bugs you can be certain Microsoft likes to put into new OSs.

Christ, these days it's like no matter how much you pay on all these services, and no matter how much you try to avoid them, they always STILL try to find ways to advertise to you. You're never safe from them. It could be a freakin' $100/month subscription for a service and the company behind it would still find a way to serve you ads. I'm really annoyed with KZbin too because almost everyone has sponsorships now. It's just another advertisement. I get that YTers need an income, but for Christ's sake an ad is still an ad. KZbin every year makes creators earn less and less and make monetization guidelines stricter and stricter still. Some creators still have millions of subscribers and make tons of money from YT memberships, Patreons, merch stores, and people thanking them in the comments with money, yet that's not enough sometimes and they want me to subscribe to a shady sponsorship. What makes this even more annoying is that since everyone's so desperate for money now, nobody ever researches stuff. 90% of sponsors are shady and trashy. Nobody ever researches who they're sponsoring. BetterHelp, Enlisted, War Thunder, Hello Fresh, Raid Shadow Legends, Magic Spoon, you name it. Or how about Established Titles? I knew right from the beginning that that's not how land ownership works, yet everyone was so quick to jump on the bandwagon.

But why i am going to see another product advertisement when i buy this product with the cost of 139$.

Search up "Debian KDE"; nowadays, Windows isn't even better than Linux from a UI standpoint Plus, although learning the terminal is a *slight* learning curve, recent Windows UIs and other issues are so annoying to deal with that it's legitimately easier than using Windows if you're fine with using Google to search for things you don't know immediately. Plus, most games work on it just fine nowadays; Steam has its own custom compatibility layer built-in, and Lutris lets you manage games on a per-game basis. IMPORTANT word of advice though; if you try Linux, either start with Linux Mint or use Debian with the Live/Full install option. Some Linux choices are very advanced, and the stereotype of doing everything from a terminal still exists if you choose the more "advanced" options.

​​​@@syahmiirfan6779Fun fact, a decent chunk of games actually run better on Linux nowadays Not necessarily because Linux actually runs the game better per se, but because modern Windows is so damn bloated that it outdoes the extra processing power required to translate the instructions from Windows to Linux several times over in some cases P.S.: the two easiest ways to run Windows games on Linux are either through Steam directly (they have their own compatibility layer built into the Linux client) or through Lutris (a free software that lets you manage compatibility options for each program individually).

Hold on a sec, doesnt Windows 10 already have ads on the Start Menu right side? I remember being recommended Candy Crush multiple times

[@mikaruyami]

That's your expanded customisable start menu, that means ppl just didn't bother to uninstall candy crush, which seems to be installed as standard.

[@Epsilon889]

I'm confident that most people probably wouldn't mind ads if they weren't so aggressively pushed on us. Why do I need five ads on a video, four on the sides of the website and then two on the top or bottom as well?

If it is in your consideration, better to try a distribution like Mint on a virtual machine before you get to actually installing it on bare metal. Make sure that you actually want to use it.

[@Paf2022]

@@InitialAA Actually better to dual boot linux and win10 or win7 or something as a whole imo considering all compatibility/translation layers on Linux are based off of wine which doesn't have too good performance most of the time. Only reason why I still have win 10, I would have loved to transfer all my windows stuff to Ubuntu but wine doesn't work well enough for me to do that. I tried using Mint at first but the whole desktop and taskbar broke and went black, and I spent 30 minutes fixing it, then wine didn't work anymore, so I went to Ubuntu.
