   If everyone had to install #Windows 11 themselves from scratch, they would absolutely switch to #Linux.

   Jesus, this takes FOREVER.

     @FartsMusically It's a better installer, technically. But the amount of upselling for various Microsoft services and Windows options is borderline absurd now.

     @killyourfm weird because 10 isn't even that much of a slog. Wonder what the deal is. Shit's gotten better since Vista pretty consistently.

     Installation, anyway. The rest, I dunno.

     @xerz @killyourfm what Linux lacks is a Microsoft to lobby billions of dollars on its behalf on marketing deals and subsidies for game studios and hardware manufacturers.

     "That's you!"

     IBM: fuck off! Find another cow!

     @FartsMusically @xerz In a slightly altered timeline, that cash cow is Valve.

     @killyourfm Yet another evidence that what Linux lacks is OEM interest.

     @syn Yea, that little fact is seriously terrible. It must have generated so much e-waste.

     @killyourfm that's if Microsoft will even let you install it (all my computers are "too old")

     And apparently Windows 11 makes it even more frustrating to dual-boot with #Linux.

     In my experience anyway, both #Fedora and #Kubuntu couldn't see my PC's Wifi module until I booted into Windows 11, enabled Hibernation, and then disabled Fast Startup.

     ???

     @writeblankspace Is this a widely known issue? I'm just wondering if new Linux users might need to hear this.

     @AdamBishop @writeblankspace I just had no clue it was so hidden in Windows 11. (Having to go into CMD and enable Hibernate first).

     I could be wrong.

     @killyourfm @writeblankspace I've always believed it necessary to disable Fast Startup on a dual-boot. Whether on Windows 11 or 10.

     @killyourfm Wouldn't it work if you just disabled Fast Boot support in your BIOS?

     @dhaavi oh yea those options rock. But any kind of real world testing, I always install to the metal.

     @killyourfm Really? I just double-click a file on Linux and it finishes in 3 minutes. BUT, that is the Windows eval VM image, of course. 😜
     Very practical for testing stuff.
