With the stock installer? Not really. However, technically the installer itself is a very, very minimal windows. Just open up a cmd (with Ctrl + F12 or smth I believe) and you can open notepad from there, meaning you have a graphical file “manager”. And from there you can do things such as executing BIOS installers, which will actually work - even though the WM looks pretty weird, you will be able to use very simple programs just fine - such as cmd, or the Intel BIOS installer.

Windows does not really have a version afaik, so I just update it every few months. Debian live is just for visually editing/moving partition in complex setups, and I can fix my Arch install with an installer/live iso that’s months old. It’s just that I don’t want multiple USB-Sticks, and need multiple ISOs at the same time (eg. Arch and debian live for rescuing my installs, or Win 10/11 for new Installs for more tech illiterate people - Win 10 is the “just functions” thing for my father, when we need a laptop for proprietary laptops, and 11 is for other people who need something set up. Additionally, I use Windows’ installer environment to update my Laptops, servers and workstations BIOS.)

Different Linux distros and Windows. Because I regularly need them.

NVidia borks my installation sometimes. Then my stupidity to choose the non-dkms beta driver from the AUR. But all in all, my non-NVidia-devices (server, workstation and laptop) run fine on arch testing, updated every time I use one of those devices.

Also, don’t use Windows.

Even that looks and probably IS better than Windows is, was, or ever will be.

So, you create a file with the name containing å. Then you send it to another person. They want to handle it via the command line. Because it’s more efficient. So that person needs to know said information.

Because you would need to know the code for å in all kb layouts, on all OS’s, even in a bare terminal with no way to just open the emoji picker, with or without special keys and no clipboard. Of course, tab completion or globs may help you, but not in all cases.

Try to select blåhaj.txt in a dir with blåhaj.txt and blahaj.txt present. Easy, ls bl*haj.txt | grep -i blahaj.txt. Now with blåhaj.txt and bløhaj.txt. Not as easy anymore, but doable with tail -n1 or head -n1. Now do it consistently in a script. So you again need to single out the right string, or single char, and >> it into the script so you have the special char. Then you have a component that does not like certain special chars, so you need to escape it. All because one decided to use special chars as a file name/identifier. Using [a-zA-Z0-9-_.:;,]* would be so easy.

He unironically looks so cuddly :333 Good boy <3 I bet he likes snoot boops with that smile :33

It’s annoying to type in the terminal tho.

Sounds like Windows.

Noooooo what did you do to that poor shonky :ccc

Considering “being ruined” is a state, and not a scale, the dev is already ruined, because it’s not Linux.

No. But somebody may be.

Yes, but

1. it’s unsafe, therefore not really Rust I’d argue
2. it doesn’t look as good

float Q_rsqrt(float number) {
   long i;
   float x2, y;
   const float threehalfs = 1.5F;

   x2 = number * 0.5F;
   y = number;

   i = * ( long * ) &y;
   i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );
   y = * ( float * ) &i;

   y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );
   return y;
} 

• The C compiler, when I parse a &(float) as (long) (it’s actually an evil floating point hack to run Quake III on an X86_64 CPU emulated in Scratch running on Spotifys Car Thing) (This would never be possible in Rust)

And I hate it. Nice concept, but I don’t like neither, the language nor compiler.

No no, we do

time_t t = time(NULL);
struct tm tm = *localtime(&t);
tm.tm_year + 1900;

Everyone writes their web server in plain C, right?

but.punctuationwouldntbefun!!!

Windows 10, but before Windows 11 was even leaked I believe.
