I perform regular audits of processes and network traffic. I keep an eye on CPU and memory usage. My BIOS has been patched to disable the remote management engine. I can smell malware online. I have a plethera of non-mainstream scanners. I ghost my drive just in case.
Why? Linux is for people who like to use the most complicated method of achieving simple tasks. Linux will never be adopted by casual users (i.e., 95% of computer users) because it puts too many demands on people who just want the fucking thing to work easily.
Linux has a friendly user interface, it's not all using the Terminal. I used Zorin and Garuda before settling on Nobara. Nobara is made by Glorious Eggroll himself, he does some Proton builds.
Linux is actually kinda retard proofed these days if you use desktop distributions like Mint or Fedora. Arch is still as extra complicated like you complain about.
And there it is: the condescending arrogance of Linux users. So, people who just want their OS to work smoothly and easily and don't want to spend an hour making something work on Linux that works without effort on Windows are retards? Sure, whatever you say. Tell me all about how easy networking on Linux is. I have wasted so many hours of my life fucking around with Samba unsuccessfully. Yes, I've looked online for solutions, and no, they never worked. I have no trouble networking five computers with Windows, though, without having to spend an excessive amount of time, jump through hoops, or configure every little setting. I fucking hate Windows, but at least I don't waste my time on stupid shit like that.
No, I'm saying the opposite of what you're accusing me of, because I have used Linux for decades. There is a sharp learning curve to Linux and the people who claim it is easy or for everyone are retards.
I first installed Linux on a cyrix m in the 1990s. I've used it for different things and for work ever since. Saying the average person today could have a good experience is just a lie. Sure, they can serve the web and send emails, but beyond that it's a sharp learning curve. These are just facts and I love Linux
Linux works fine as long as the hardware you're using has open drivers. A laptop that is all Intel or all AMD is likely to work fine, but if you have Broadcom wireless drivers or an NVIDIA GPU, and problems arise.
Thanks for confirming that what I said is correct. You really shouldn’t have let your personal autism get in the way of reality. You’re physically incapable of swapping windows and Linux 1:1 in a personal or office environment, which is why people don’t use it. If you had any knowledge of the subject whatsoever, or even a basic understanding of economics, you’d comprehend the stranglehold Microsoft has on the APIs and businesses in the industry.
The only thing that was really tying me to windblows was Fusion360 and zbrush for personal use. Blender is plenty now and I got completely up to snuff for CAD on both FreeCAD and onshape.com.
For personal usage I can't go back to Windows, I still have a hard drive on my system I load windows for making software for windows, but other than that I don't use it any longer.
So, to install blender on Linux you can do a normie install through the software download manager in Linux that gives the most updated version most of the time for most software available on linux with one simple click.
A lot of other software are incredibly easy to install in the terminal and becomes the preferred method. sudo apt-get install blender and hit enter and it installs an older "stable" version, but at this point its just old. But you can do that with 1,000's of piece of software. Sudo(admin) apt-get(get needed packages) install blender. It's not rocket science.
I'm sorry you're retarded personally.
But you are correct on corporate level, there's a modern conspiracy about software as a service monthly charge on corporate and govt level and that's all on Microsoft. Gates is hell spawn
Davinci Resolve is on linux and Kdenlive is pretty decent as well. There's gimp(photoshop) rawtherapee(lightroom) blender(swiss army knife) and others.
Most of the time people are tied to windows for sharing progress on projects because most of them use windows. For personal use windows and everything it does is disgusting, and I don't like being fucked with by my computer.
I made the switch to full time on Linux a couple years ago, it was uncomfortable at first, but after finding my theme and desktop gui I liked I can't go back to windows. I have made Linux into my dream experience with computing. Windows is like a gulag at this point.

Hackers dont make attempts at outdated machines. They always seek for the biggest marketshare. The more Microsoft closes their OS, the more hackers will focus on them because its where the lemmings will flock to.
I've done that on multiple PC's with Win 10 and up. Just disable/unplug the wi-fi / ethernet and install.
Normally an option to skip the online requirements will be presented, or the installer will time out looking for the internet connect and just skip it automatically.
I have an old msn email acct. Ever since microsoft took over, it is an absolute piece of shit. The more i give them feedback on their shitty operating system, the more they keep fucking with my acct. Assholes!
Shit pisses me off.. I won't go to the apple cult I think eventually I will be forced to upgrade or lose my old as shit Hotmail account old word documents etc.. don't feel like leaning an alternate system.
Never gonna happen. I installed win11 from usb on a machine without working ethernet drivers . Linux was a lot easier to install. Had to use mystery buton comobos and console commands to boot to safe mode to install the drivers.
