How is it still like this

Because Microsoft knows no one is going to stop using Windows even if it sucks. It’s same way no one actually moves to Canada when a shitty US president is elected. The average person has a high tolerance for bullshit.

The best is when this starts on battery power on an old machine. It’s always a race to see who wins.

What are you confused by?

We take off our shoes here. At least I do. What kind of filthy animals want dirt on their floors?

TP Link is backdoored trash

This is the result of Microsoft being so cozy with hardware vendors.

You’re the one that made the claim that they’re the “only mainstream brand that cares about Linux”. It’s up to you to prove it.

What $10/yr vps are you using?

You sure about that?. Where does this myth come from that Lenovo cares about Linux users?

“clean install” is Windows-user logic. Doesn’t apply to Linux.

And now there’s a foobar2000 on Linux

are they just kissing Microsoft’s ass?

This. 100%. It’s why I don’t understand folks recommending Lenovo laptops to run Linux on. Lenovo is in bed well Microsoft and caters to whatever they want. SecureBoot, modern standby, etc. We need more vendors supporting open source firmware like Coreboot.

Edit: feel free to refute me instead of just down voting.

Fedora is probably the closest you can practically get.

I bet there exist some Linux installs out there with a different shell than ‘bash’,

100%. Alpine is one such distro.

It’s not reasonable in any language

Based on what?

Press X to doubt

Better to just buy a System 76 or Framework.

Agreed. Most Youtube thumbnails are cancer. Bug eyes with mouth wide open or pointing at something. Enough already.

Interesting. I didn’t realize it was structured this way. I thought it was similar to NixOS for some reason.
