Windows 11 has been a nightmare for me. Every time I leave the file browser open my fans start up like I’m doing something insensive. Mssms freezes constantly, visual studio freezes constantly. Switching between virtual desktops? Not without waiting 30 seconds. And finally, idk if this is a dell thing or a win11 thing but the “low power mode” that activates if my battery is at or below 10 percent, despite me turning off all battery saving settings I can find, makes my computer functionally useless. Programs don’t load, I can’t close or open anything. Like the whole point of low power mode is so you have a little more time to wrap up things before you can get to a charger. There’s no point to that if you set my PC so low power that it literally can’t even run the bloated ass OS on it. I hate it so fucking much.

What’s crazy is in my area, most people are Cajun, the Cajuns faced so much discrimination, deportation and even an attempted genocide, and successful assimilation, Cajun French is essentially a dead language. Their Great and great great grandparents were facing discrimination for being accepting of people of color and for not speaking English. Yet due to lack of education of their own history most Cajuns don’t realize they’re perpetuating the very injustices their ancestors went through, hell, there’s a huge population of cajuns that are POC and don’t even realize it!

There are several apps that are compiled for both Linux and windows natively, that’s what I was referring to
The monitor thing is very dependent on distro, I didn’t really have any issues at all with Linux mint or nobara
As others have said wine/proton is not an emulator and some games run even better on Linux, that being said a lot of AAA games have DRM that prevent you from running them on Linux, that would be your real argument there
Don’t like being able to share software? A ton of software on Linux is FOSS and available on windows, not all of it of course, but you could say the same about Mac
Depending on the corporation and software, you can use Linux, but yes, most places are windows shops, so that is difficult
But yeah,a computer that just “works” I concede most distros will not get you there. Nobara is definitely a bit unstable but I can deal with it because I was in IT for 6 years. Although immutable distros are close, but they definitely still take some knowhow to use, and have their limitations
Edit: misread part of the comment

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are data broker removal services actually legit?
3·5 months agoI trusted in it, because I saw the whole sniperwold jacksfilms thing play out with her almost doxxing him, and he specifically advocated for deleteme and talked about how they removed all his personal info from those sites, and sure enough, where I previously found his home address it was gone. I had heard praises for years about deleteme even back in the earlier internet days so that just sealed the deal for me. I used his coupon code to sign up lol.

231·5 months agoI used deleteme for a year and I can safely say that my spam calls significantly dropped, and when I search my name data on me no longer shows up on those people websites. Would recommend
Also remove your phone number from places like LinkedIn and Facebook if you haven’t already. I got a few of job scam calls from linkdin

Jesus, there’s some real intellectual elitism being displayed in this thread. Like I understand that the American education system is shitty and a large portion of the population is just functionally literate, and I understand the frustration of having to deal with those types of people and having to explain things to them. But, that’s one thing, it’s another completely different thing to call them idiots or see them as lesser. They’re most likely not idiots, it probably just means they has less help and/or less experiences than you did as a kid to better understand some of the things you did. You should never look down upon someone for being less intelligent or less educated than you. Those things are not the entirety of what make up a person’s worth. There’s things like creativity, emotional intelligence, etc. Everyone deserves the same base level of respect, and if you think you’re the smartest person in a room bar none, you’re actually the idiot.
