      I think this ancient image is from when Windows 10 first came out and wasn’t good.

          It’s the best OS for playing games (when debloated) and for casual computer users who don’t wanna spend OSX money.

          Linux is catching up on the games front, but has no signs of being good for G-Ma and Pops in the near future.

            Don’t tell that to the Linux fan base, they’re worse than the crypto lot

              I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

              Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

              There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

    My girlfriend got a new PC and asked me if she should upgrade to windows 11 and I responded with “I guess?”

    I will never forgive myself for what I unknowingly inflicted upon her.

        Tbh the biggest hassle we’ve encountered is a .NET framework cmd window that will sporadically pop up and take focus away from the current window. I’ve done some searching and attempted some things with no avail. If it were mine I’d probably have reformatted and started fresh by now but that’s a hassle when she’s trying to get work done.

        I wonder if there’s a tech support community here that would be able to able without resorting to such drastic measures.

          Upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 was very easy but there is a lot of left over junk from the previous install.

          A clean format is probably the best thing to do.

    There is a difference between punishment and cruel torture.

    This squarely falls into the latter category.

    No shit I just had a nightmare last night that my computer installed W11 by itself against my will and it’s the first and scariest nightmare I’ve had in years.

    Worst punishment I ever had was getting my girlfriend a Sony Vaio laptop with Windows ME and Wireless-b. Constant drops from the wireless router.

    “…I think I’ve been naughtier than that. I really neeeeed you to punish me.”

    “Okay.” aborts the installation and begins installing Windows 8
