Unfortunately, this is exactly what is turning (and has been turning) the US into a shithole country.

Another reason why I’m glad I made the switch to Lemmy.

If you aren’t ready to fully commit to installing it on a hard drive, you could probably make a live USB stick of Linux. There are installers built to run on windows that will install Linux onto a USB drive, which you can boot from after turning off your PC. That way, you don’t need to worry about wiping or resetting an old computer just to see if you like it.

Unfortunately, most Windows users are not tech savy and will never move to Linux, regardless of how user-friendly Linux becomes. It would take large-scale retailers switching their computers to have Linux pre-installed instead of Windows before any meaningful transition happens.

They’re against pornography, not prostitutes. There’s a difference, I guess.

Every day, my work computers force a shutdown-update, take 20 minites, fail the update, recover from the failed update, and then force a 24-hour timer to do it again that I can’t turn off. IT doesn’t care.

I think Nvidia is noticing Microsoft killing it’s OS for gamers and enthusiasts, and is worried AMD will overtake them when people switch to Linux.
