I've been messing around on PC since the Counterstrike days in highschool. For gaming i never owned a console, was always into custom PC. I always enjoy learning new things regarding research, new hardware.
On GAW I have learned how to archive, meme, scrutinize more strictly and find better primary sources among many other things. I would like to learn more from my brethren here.
I will share a few. Keyboard shortcut basics:

We are all thirsty for knowledge!
Well my mother in law has Windows 10 installed on her laptop and I had to apply an hotfix. Took about 6 hours for it to go through. Her laptop is HP and it's using OEM OS.
I had Windows 7 installed on my computer and it was the last Windows OS I used before switching over to Linux fully. I had like three or four updates to apply. Took literally all night to have them go through. That was the final straw for me so I switched over to Linux and haven't looked back. I was even using a SSD for it with 16 GB of RAM. At that time, my PC was an enthusiast PC that I built myself, and it was LAGGING with Windows.
Not only that but I had to service computers for about 5 years and I had to apply hotfixes, updates and all that. Half of the time, I had to leave them sitting on the workbench overnight for the updates to go through. Oftentimes I would think the computer had some more issues than just software but it was actually Microsoft that made the OS worse version after version. Not even going to use Windows 11.
Convinced my father to get off Windows and use a chromebook with Android stack on it and he's happier with it than he was with Windows. He kept saying, "I swear I'll sling this laptop into the sky and shoot that piece of shit!" when referring to his Windows laptop.
