Having used Windows quite a few times in my life, I know the feeling

Only to get 1 downvote and no follow-up

I will remember this, and I hate you

Phew, you had me worried there for a sec

… modern cars run Windows? D:

Just to be clear: while I’ve seen ads in one form or another in every (non-LTSC) installation of Windows 10 and 11 I’ve ever made, I’m not claiming that Windows 11 actually shows unskippable ads (in video format) when using the start menu yet, that was a hyperbole.

Have you had severe fuckups yearly with Windows, or Linux?

I’ve had bi-yearly severe fuckups with Windows and have yearly (probably more) severe fuckups with Arch;
the fix to the latter is a thumb drive away, the fix to the former is an ancient ritual which the FBI is still investigating me for.

Unfortunately most people are utter slaves of convenience, they’d gladly suffer 30 seconds of unskippable ads every time they open the start menu rather than re-learn how a different operating system works - doing the latter has a (potentially) massive ROI, but it is quite a big step, and that’s what gets them

To a slightly lesser extent, that’s also true of Windows - severe malfunctions are less likely to happen, but when they do happen, fixing them is almost always an absolute clusterfuck, and when it isn’t, it’s downright impossible.

By “problem” I meant having to close Firefox before further browsing, not automated updates - I don’t know if I could stand daily-driving a system with Snap updating my stuff while I’m trying to use it tbh, that’s one of the main reasons I left Windows behind.

Your first comment gave me the impression that Firefox required a restart because it’s distributed officially through Snaps or something, idk 27 days have passed since then

That’s only for C++, as far as I can tell that struct is valid C

Conclusion: Windows, Mac and BSD users are cannibals

I’m going to call that “vibe downvoting”

Relatable tbh

I installed Linux on windows

… what?

… misogamy? Hatred for marriage?

yet

Ah gotcha, it’s not the cause but it makes the problem way worse

Wait hold on wait, does that bullshit have something with Firefox being distributed through Snap?

If it does, I’m going to sn… also fucking lose it

Casualty? What happened to the poor fella?
