I hope you're joking here...
He was saying that Linux is secure and that Win10 spies on you. I'm not familiar with who couldn't use Windows during the cyber symposium, but I'm a Linux-only guy at home and now that work computers are Win10, my proficiency has been reduced. WinXP and 7 were alright, but I really hate 10. I also hate the scratch-n-sniff GNOME desktop since it's more of that Derpistan smartphone/tablet style appeal.
Yeah I hate Windows 10. They really fucked things up and changed the GUI to something awful. Very inconsistent throughout the whole GUI and all. That's why when news about Win 11 broke, I didn't even bat an eye or went looking for news on it. I was more of meh.
Been using Linux for about 10 years now and I'm on Fedora 35, however I'm thinking of switching over to CentOS. Fedora is nice and all but it's bleeding edge OS and has issues here and there. I think I want to have something reliable and stable on my 10 year old computer that I built. Don't know how long my girl has left in her to keep on chugging before I buy new parts (read: 1-2 year old parts) but now with the chip shortage, I couldn't find anything good out there that I can build for under 1K.
I don't know how well you can navigate around Windows, but remember, the search field is your best friend. Just type whatever you need i.e. "Network" and it will give you a list for you to pick from that best fit what you're looking for. Memorize the shortcuts so you can press windows key + R (for "run") and type in something like "regedit" and it will bring up registry editor, however I doubt you will have access to registry on your workstation! lol
But yeah I know what you're talking about, Windows is on the decline big time and I don't understand why they're using Windows for the frontend, while they could be customizing Linux and use them for workstations. There's nothing more a regular user can do other than doing wordprocessing, setting up charts and many more with Libre Office and whatever other free programs you can find with Linux. Windows is bloatware/spyware and have a lot of security holes that can easily be fixed if they use Linux instead.
About a half a year ago on this forum I started a topic encouraging everyone to switch to Linux and ditch the vaccines, spying, and child sex trafficking. The 10th will be my 2 year anniversary of switching from Windows to Mint and I love it. I watched a review of Win11 by a Linux user and he pointed out how it's mimicking Linux in several ways. Ironically, Microsoft's crap is going to push more and more people to Linux this year, I think. Q promised in #964 that Microsoft's day will come. I really want that company, Apple, and Google to fall hard.
Yeah I think I've seen your post and probably made a comment or two on it. There was another Anon on here who was recommending Linux but stuff happened and he had to leave the site.
I know there's a few other Linux users on this site but I don't know all of them lol
Yeah Mint is nice and I've used it for a short time. I was actually on Ubuntu for like 5 years while dual booting with Windows 7 since I was still learning about Linux. Felt Ubuntu was a bit too simple and limited plus with them incorporating ads and all (this was before Pi-Hole came around I believe), I had to find a different distro. That was when I tried Mint (I like Cinnamon, kinda reminds me of Windows XP), among other distros before eventually settling with Fedora without dual booting into Windows as I no longer have the need for Windows.
Oh yeah I want FAGMAN (Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Netflix) to die a fiery death. They corrupted one of the things I love the most -- technology and now I sometimes feel disgusted when using some of their products, just like when I feel disgusted watching a movie post-2016.
Maybe disgusted isn't the right word but it gives me a squeamish feeling in my guts, to the point where I cannot endure it any longer and have to turn it off/stop using it.
I know their day will come because the abuse they do everyday is ridiculous and I cannot believe they got a lot of idiots, my former best friend including, to believe they're good companies. I've now become estranged with my former best friend over this, can you imagine? He used to be like me -- bashing Windows/Apple for being so shitty and mediocre while Linux being superior, then we went our own ways and I reconciled with him a few years later and he's singing the praise of Apple/Google (more of Apple than Google as he thinks Google is inferior to Apple and this was on the iOS vs Android debate) and got really offended when I said Tim Crook.
Can you imagine getting offended over a name like that? Tim Crook? That was one of the few reasons why he stopped talking to me because I badmouthed his idol... Then I eventually found out more about him and now he's just this massive cuck. I think it's because of his wife and the fact that he loves drinking coffee and adding milk so I think he has been adding soy milk without realizing because something during the course of a few years apart, he changed and I don't know what it was exactly.
I'm blabbing here but the point is yeah FAGMAN needs to die and they caused a lot of issues, both professionally and personally.
Can't wait for that day to come.
