Even if you've removed the app previously, Microshit is installing it in the background and stealing your files. Nice to see even redditards are smart enough to be against this. This should be illegal as fuck.

That hasn't happened to me in the past 40 years, but I'll keep an eye out for it. Just got a new iMac to replace my 'too old to update' system. They're so cheap now. About $2K, versus early 90s macs that cost $37K in 2024 dollars.
We're here complaining about shitty behavior behind the scenes abusing the userbase and you fanboy for apple? Can I interest you in epsteinOS or perhaps the Jodi Arias tablet?
I spent years reading the lamentations of the linux tinkerers. The windows cucks were constantly complaining of their data being destroyed by OS updates, and "drivers" failing to drive. Meanwhile, smooth sailing on the Mac OS seas. I suppose it all depends on how you want to spend your life. We live in a society where no one is killing the jews and their associates, so the rest is just decorations.
Windows works when not connected to the internet. I am not embarrassed. I use everything. I am not using windows because I "can't install Linux." I'm using it to run fracking office.
I used to use crossover. But then I gave up. All my servers are Linux or at least non Windows.
This is the age old way of "domesticating" another. You soothe them in with an easy and enjoyable time, then give pieces of the easy time back as long as you give pieces of your agency. Really, windows and osx are "nigger trainers".
Tell me, what is your favorite version of Linux, goats? I have Macintosh for business and Windows for work. For personal, I have yet to build a computer.
I like Artix with XFCE and Open-RC. It's super easy and it always has the most up to date version of software in its repo unlike debian/ubuntu/mint. It's also one of the only ways to not have systemd, even though you won't care about that.
It's our duty to at least give them a primer on why they should. Again, most aren't leaving windows to 'try out something new', most are leaving due to MS jewry, and it is important to outline that we are fighting against the same jewry here.
As much as I dislike systemd I don't think it is the same level of jewy as straight up stealing people's files because you have access to control updates on their OS.
It is in fact, as it is more stereotypically jewish to be insidious than to be overt. Stealing ones files is overt and annoying.
Forcing systemd into OSs, then trying to hush everything up, is in the same tier as bringing slaves to America. If we say no here, we never have to deal with the problems down the line.
A couple few years back, jews led an attempted takeover of all of the major distros to push a backdoor called 'systemd'.
Some of the owners/devs outed in the coups later recreated their projects without systemd. Pick anything from this list. Probably the best option for you is Devuan with Cinnamon, which has a very Windows/mac-like interface without the Windows/mac/systemd jewry.

I used to read the wailing and gnashing of teeth posts from linux tinkerers who spent hundreds of hours trying to get it to work. Has that changed? Can you just turn it on now and have it work with no problems?
Oh. In that case, yes, it is plug and play. More so than Windows now, in some cases (no drivers needed for printers, no special software or drivers needed for gaming accessories/high end hardware, etc).
Mint's original draw was that it was the 'plug and play' distro for ex-win users, but now most of Linux works that way, barring Arch/Artix and related that are do-it-yourself by design.
It isn't all sunshine and rainbows, the most notable example being wifi drivers can be spotty on some realtek cards used in laptops, but for the most part it is, in fact, sunshine and rainbows.
I use Nobara because it's gamer-friendly. Has pretty much everything regarding Proton and WINE that you need already installed, so you don't have to spend too much time wrestling anything. Oh and it also has Lutris if you want to download games directly instead of through Steam.
It's lightweight and works great on older devices. You will get hardcore linux enthusiasts giving you shit for it due to it's inner working (system d) but I don't see any reason you should give a shit.
If you can have a pure linux, which is clean and free of the major vulnerabilities that plague other OS', why would you opt for one 'specially modified' by jews? There is a racial argument here that even you should be able to pick up on.
Linux has none of the problems of other OS, until you let jews tinker with it.

Fuckin' A! I agree with you. If you dig enough, you do for certain find this conclusion. Even that commie (((stallman))) who literally ate a piece of his foot while on camera speaking on behalf of other "fellow linux users".
Most haven't seen through the debian agenda either, or should I call it the (((Debbie and Ian Murdoch))) agenda of "free and open movement" which was just a wolf in sheeps clothing.
It seems the roll your own (which only takes the matter of an hour to get a basic desktop running with internet and sound) is the way to go.
Suggest some alternatives then. In my time researching the issue no one has put forth a decent argument why it should be avoided. "It's bloated" is their main argument. As the end user why would I care about that? The OS "just works" with little to no fiddling around, and is easy to install. This is what windows users need.
Classic strawman. 'It's jewed' is a better blanket statement that actually attempts to emcompass the myriad arguments.
As the end user why would I care about that?
Knocking down your own strawman.
This is what windows users need.
People leaving windows are trying to escape MS jewry, not just 'looking to try out something new'. Devuan, Artix, etc are what windows users need, not re-trapping them back into jewish software.

Artix linux. Just like many other distros have desktop environment flavors, Artix has init system flavors. So you can choose openrc (what I use), or runit, dinit, or s6.
I don't actually know much about those other ones but almost anything besides systemd is going to have a lot of similarity to classic SystemV init.
Then when you install something you optionally can install the init script for it.
Like say you install docker. (sudo pacman -S docker). And then you are like fuck, where is the init script for that. I want that. Just run sudo pacman -S docker-openrc. More often than not I don't want it. So you mostly don't worry about that.
What's really nice is that if you do need to look at an init script (basically never), it has a sane as hell scripting language and is directly executable. It starts with a shebang of "#!/usr/bin/openrc-run" so you can run "/etc/init.d/dhcp restart" like the old System V days.
Scripts have short hand that make them really small. One can be as simple as.
``` #/usr/bin/openrc-run
command=/usr/bin/theexec ```
Done. Most scripts are going to opt to have a depend section and arguments.
I went to the website to check it out. This is their download page https://artixlinux.org/download.php. You click a mirror and are greeted with this https://ftp.crifo.org/artix/iso/. Most windows users looking for a better experience would see this and give up immediately. Which is why Mint and Ubuntu are the best options for this type of user. I am curious though and will check it out as I respect your opinion. But seriously which one do I pick? I like xfce so I imagine one of the 8 listed there (do you see the problem).
This one is a fantastic one to try out for ripping out the systemd bloat. I didn't suggest it my other posts because of the frustration with some of the arch/systemd problems in some apps. I found obarun had a more "arch" feel to it if you're ever interested ... that is if the installer works for you (failed on me many times, irritating).
[ - ] Dingo 1 point 11 monthsJun 25, 2024 13:40:56 ago (+1/-0)
The MX-Linux guys do an xfce system without the need for systemd and comes with a bunch of extra kernel modules on the boot disk and system. Linux mint are still on the systemd thing and it's basically just windows cancer disguised as a system init supervisor.
I use gentoo and it might be one of the simplest distros to use once it's set up. Definitely the most difficult to initially set up though. But you learn a ton doing it. And it's not always too bad setting it up.
If you really want the right experience, then sabatage linux: https://sabo.xyz
Otherwise, you'll not understand the ecosystem and will forever rely on "ubuntu forums" posts from 201x era. Or, try the desktop route of Alpine linux ( https://alpinelinux.org - using their script based installer) if you want dead easy, but with a reasonable level (i.e. arch or gentoo level) of guided understanding. If you're a user of the other two systems you'll understand quickly why they're both shit. In fact, anything compiled by anyone else is most likely going to operate like shit on your machine. You can construct the workflow you like on linux and run your other applications in a VM if you really need them.
For a very unique, retro and modern (all at the same time) approach, you can check out Luke Smith's builds of LARBS (larbs.xyz) where he uses mostly suckless software (suckless.org). I use something similar myself.
If you like the monolithic interface systems such as how OSX works or the windows style "mouse clicky" shit, you should probably just get an android device and perhaps run chrome-os at best. If you do work, my advice is to look for an interface that does "mouse operations" better without the mouse and you'll see both OSX and windows are designed for complete ape retards. There is literally orders of magnitude more effective workflows only available on the linux ecosystem (not even the *BSD's).
If you're interested in a gaming system, there are some nice setups, but let's be honest here. If you know what you know, and post on this site, there should be no room for any "video game" activities ... ever.
Both me and my wife recently got new laptops. I hate that automatic OneDrive bullshit. I need to find a way to stop it, because everytime I turn on the damn laptop, it starts uploading gigs of files, and our 3 world koala nigger internet basically becomes useless until you manually stop it.
And that's on top of the issue with it to begin with.
On my windows install I bork the SoftwareDistribution folder in C:\windows. This stops most of microsofts bullshit, including updates. Found and saved these instructions on voat.co right before it shut down. Thanks to whoever posted it, it's saved me lots of headaches. Here is the OP with instructions.
-------------------- I've managed to stop windows update for quite some time now and I'm suprised that I haven't seen the solution posted anywhere yet. What you'll need to do is first open a console window with admin rights then type the following commands with no quotes. First type 'net stop wuauserv'. This stops the windows update service. Next youll need to navigate to the windows directory so type in 'cd \windows'. Then youll need to remove the softwaredistribution folder which is where the updates get downloaded to and create a fake folder before the windows update service restarts itself so enter in 'rd softwaredistribution /s' to remove the folder and then enter 'mklink /d "c:\windows\softwaredistribution" "x:\softwaredistribution"' (make sure to leave in the double quotes) What this does is it creates a softwaredistribution folder that points to the path x:\softwaredistribution which doesn't exist and windows update just comes up with an error anytime you try to update it. If you already have a drive x: then change the letter x to a letter that's not being used. Hope that helps.

Why would you have to hack your operating system for it to not be spyware? I know you run linux too. But it's worth saying how retarded that is. Why would anyone pay to have something like that in their house?
Having access to a windows environment is still useful for various reasons. If you have to use it, you should at least take back control where you can. Linux has gotten a lot better in the past 10 years. Maybe in another 10 having a windows machine on the side will be irrelevant.
If you've never used linux before but want a smooth transition, consider mxlinux.org. I've installed on many (now) ex-windows users in the past two years and there's been no problems. Mind you, all these people are somewhat "retarded" when it comes to computer awareness and they do little other than browse, use some video editing and libreoffice. That said, if there are windows applications, you can just run ms-windows inside of virtualbox.
Unless it's about video games ... in which case, you have to keep the cancer software on your system.
So if you make a folder on your drive at C:\windows_sucks Then they will not get backed up to one drive.
Only things under your home directory including your desktop.
You can makes shortcuts on the desktop to your files.
One drive access is too slow so somethings should not be there, only things you actually want backed up.
You can always back up other things to a USB or two.
What to actually do, is get a machine and say you want to install the OS yourself. Then put Linux on it, and return it if they have the bios locked down by Microsoft. Just confirm you can return it and say you do not want Microsoft bitlocker in the bios
If the feature is disabled they have no right to enable it and upload your files. What they are doing is theft. It's no different than you going on to someone's computer and transferring all their documents on to a usb drive.
So if you make a folder on your drive at C:\windows_sucks Then they will not get backed up to one drive. Exactly. Make your default Save folder outside of the Windozs environment. MS will still steal it, but now it's a case of "intentional theft" using telephony, instead of "accidental settings you forgot to change".
As for theft, I'll offer you as an arm's length internet stranger the 'Hunter Biden Painting' fair market rate for every one of your NFT doodles of cute kitty cats, as long as they are the only copies existing. -That is the set retail value. -That is the value of your missing property to be recovered. Or max out small claims. Every piece of data that you own is considered proprietary art especially when combined as a collection with added value. Facebook doesn't make a hundred billion a year for nothing. You have real tangible value.

If you already have a drive x: then change the letter x to a letter that's not being used. Hope that helps.

Unless it's about video games ... in which case, you have to keep the cancer software on your system.

Then they will not get backed up to one drive.
Only things under your home directory including your desktop.
You can makes shortcuts on the desktop to your files.
One drive access is too slow so somethings should not be there, only things you actually want backed up.
You can always back up other things to a USB or two.
What to actually do, is get a machine and say you want to install the OS yourself. Then put Linux on it, and return it if they have the bios locked down by Microsoft. Just confirm you can return it and say you do not want Microsoft bitlocker in the bios

Exactly. Make your default Save folder outside of the Windozs environment. MS will still steal it, but now it's a case of "intentional theft" using telephony, instead of "accidental settings you forgot to change".
As for theft, I'll offer you as an arm's length internet stranger the 'Hunter Biden Painting' fair market rate for every one of your NFT doodles of cute kitty cats, as long as they are the only copies existing.
-That is the set retail value.
-That is the value of your missing property to be recovered. Or max out small claims.
Every piece of data that you own is considered proprietary art especially when combined as a collection with added value. Facebook doesn't make a hundred billion a year for nothing. You have real tangible value.
It's a good thing there is already precedence on value of IP theft: $150,000 per file per the RIAA.

Might be trying Slackware soon, since I think I'm starting to outgrow Mint.
