     @deci @ioletsgo yeah this is another thing i think linux has over windows

     it literally does not care what environment you put it in. it's the potato of operating systems. it'll work on anything as long as the kernel has hardware support for the things you need

     windows 11 wants to be on an internal disk, it wants a TPM, it wants a specific set of CPUs, it wants secure boot, and the end user has to fulfill all this unless they want to install windows 10, use some black magic like rufus to install windows to a USB disk, or just know the registry keys they need to make off the top of their head to get around the windows 11 hardware restrictions

     @thememesniper@wetdry.world @ioletsgo@wetdry.world “just use windows! it just works!” every time i atttempt to use the OS in any simple fucking way it goes backwards and upside down in unimaginable ways
     
     tried installing windows for my grandpa and couldn’t even get it back into the OOBE for like an hour after using audit mode

     @ioletsgo people keep telling me "just use windows! it just works!" and while that's true for some situations (like software i need to combat critical design failures, like my microphone being inside the fan assembly on my laptop) the scales are starting to tip in linux's favor, ironically even better on arch linux
