That's right! By worshipping the almighty penguin he gives us the power to make our expensive computers into useless novelty items.
Look, if we want to spend 6 hours rebuilding our MBR/GPT, bootsector, and efi partition from scratch, using our grandfather's butterfly, we should be allowed to. Insert angry xkcd here.
task managers creator added a function to kill the entire pc. but people reported it as a bug and someone else at Microsoft removed it
Dave Plummer is a fricking legend!
I'm amazed Windows is allowed to pull some of it's shit, but the US doesn't seem real keen on anti monopoly anything anymore.
Let's be honest. If you haven't broken your bootloader at some point in time, you haven't experienced Linux.
I've broken my bootloader many times. I remember frantically looking up how to fix that online for the first time. Now I know not to do stupid things that could bork my bootloader.
As a Linux noob, the only time I've broken my bootloader was updating my distro after ignoring it for a year. I ignored the update because it broke a badly made script badly solving the complex problem caused by a simple problem that I ignored the solution to.
I finally fixed the simple problem because I needed to upgrade a library to get a modded launcher working so I could play with my friends. And I was thinking of rewriting the firmware for my macro keyboard to be better structured anyways.
I went back to the old firmware with a simple fix as the new one has a weird bug that if I hold two "even" keys at once, I get spammed down signals for the higher order one.
Linux has been fun!
I mean if you know how to write firmware you don't really count as a Linux noob, regardless of your lack of experience with linux
This meme is such a good representation of the general difference between the two systems.
I'll never forget when I was just learning about Arch and I installed it sharing the same NTFS directories as Windows. It didn't work great.
This kind of thing is a huge part of why I fell in love with Linux so long ago.
Customizing your system to the point that no one else can use it?
lol, no. Being able to do what I want with it is what I have appreciated. It's like having a computer without that obnoxious glue in the screws so you can take it apart if you want to.
You really can't uninstall edge in Windows? I knew that was a thing with IE back in the day.
You can uninstall the newest version of edge in Windows. The newer edge is chromium based and it seems you can remove it now. However the previous version of edge that was built into windows could not be removed with traditional methods.
You can't uninstall edge without breaking things such as start menu search, widgets, bing AI, The upcoming co-pilot, and a lot more. I've personally been battling for people by creating MSEdgeRedirect, but there's been two to three attempts to break the project so far.
This is quickly just becoming r/linuxcirclejerk
