  • All of Windows is malware. By default you have adverts in your start menu, you have pop ups (which is not the same thing as Windows Update, pop ups are a service provided by Explorer) which maliciously install unwanted web browsers.

    You can’t support Trump and then claim that only a small part of his following is due to racist bigots.

    You can’t support AI and claim that only a small part of it damages the atmosphere.

    You can’t support Windows and claim that only part of it is malware.

    Windows 100% enables and supports this nefarious behaviour. It’s the abusive spouse trapping you before beating the shit out of you for your own good.




  • So the problem is crappy guides?

    I was of the opinion that anything that suggested the terminal was purely for speed reasons.

    Average Windows guide. Click here, dismiss the warning, click here, click here, close the advert, click next, type in 1, accept, reboot.

    Average Linux guide, go to Gnome Tweaks, third option, type in 1, no reboot required. Or open a terminal and paste the following command.

    It’s precise, it’s concise, and it’s fast but it’s not required.

    the are so many desktop environments

    I completely disagree. There is Gnome with 70% of the market, KDE with 30%, and then various hacked together desktops with <1%. Guides should be set up for Gnome because you stick with defaults if you are that scared, maybe a reference for KDE, and if you chose something else then your already in copy/paste commands territory.

    There was no part of me setting up SteamOS on my couch PC that required a terminal, which is what we are talking about here.
