I’m just here for the funzies lul :D
I am wondering, what is enjoyable about Windows/Microsoft?
The slow & buggy UI?
The blue screens due to crappy drivers or bc they fucked something up?
The way they erase any customisability, essentially forcing their users to adapt their vision of how a computer should be operated?
How they are coming up with great ideas such as taking system snapshots and having AI analyze them?
The updates that randomly decide to install and then take an eternity with the end user not being able to use their PC whilst an update is taking place?
The 10.000 different ways of updating software?
How they are blatantly ripping off features whilst marketing them as their own ideas?
The way they are turning it more and more into an advertising platform for their own products?
The $139.00 license fee for everything I just mentioned?
Like, the only enjoyable thing I can think of is software availability but thanks to WINE / Proton this advantage is becoming less and less relevant.

Ah, thx for the explanation :)
Flatpak was designed to be decentralised, Flathub is just the main repository offering flatpaks and yes, probably 99% of all Flatpak applications are downloaded via the main repo but it is technically possible to just launch your own if you are unhappy with the main repo. The Flatpak team literally has this info page for hosting a repository
I for example, am taking AAGL from their own flatpak repo because they are not offering their launcher via the main one (even tho they also tell you to link the main repo - I guess for dependency reasons - but theoretically you could open your own repo and throw all dependency related packages in there or am I getting something wrong here)
Thx for sharing your story :3
Tysm for sharing your story :D
Interesting idea
Yeah, Mint too afaik with LMDE… 🤔
But a funny correlation indeed
Soon:
Ah, thanks for sharing your journey :D
Or AmogOS
I’m glad you found your Distro! :3
Oh nice! I remember my first one being Xubuntu but I have come a long way since then.
It’s a lightweight distro mainly for old or cheap hardware. It comes with a lot of tools pre-installed and is very conservative towards updates.
I mean, if it is just the client app you could see if the Flatpak version works better. ^^
Still more informative than every “Chrome Unboxed” article ever lol
Nice to finally meet you folks :3
Ngl your comment made me look up what I could get for ab. $800
RTX 4060 302.15€
Ryzen 5 4500 67.45€
Decent AM4 mainboard 57.07€
Decent CPU air cooler 21.07€
Thermal paste 3.01€
16 GB DDR4 RAM 35.20€
Semi-Modular 600W PSU 75.07€
500GB M.2 NVMe SSD 34.58€
2TB HDD 35.20€
Case 85.61€
Wifi card 25.10€
PC building tutorial: free on YT or just follow the instructions of your case and mainboard…
Software not included so people can look up what Windows officially charges them for showing them ads
That makes 741.51€ or $817.57 for a pretty damn good custom pc… And it could be way less if you went for 2nd hand parts / better deals
I would rather build it myself than buying a cheap prebuilt one from a no name bc a friend of mine tried that and got scammed and realized way too late sadly
