     @harbeau The modern Windows bloat is nuts. SteamOS is out officially for one of these Deck clones and apparently the performance and battery life is night and day when comparing Windows and Linux

     @EdBoatConnoisseur @harbeau linux is hard, but if you can get it working well for you the downsides are little to none.

     @harbeau nah man, linux is hard, windows is great just wait for the copilot gaming update, it is blessed by vishnu created by brahma and sent in dreams to best microsoft india engineers, only kshatriya and brahmin engineers code javascript, java an python at microsoft, all lower castes are grinding on the C# wheel under direction of kshatriyas and vaishiyas while brahmins arquitect copilot.

     @luithe @harbeau @EdBoatConnoisseur "public and downloadable" reminds me of "submissive and breedable"

     @mischievoustomato @harbeau @luithe okay, fair on that second one, debian packages are not easy to write and all the packaging documentation reads like if it was written by a lawyer that saw the maintainers working from a room away.

     @harbeau @EdBoatConnoisseur @mischievoustomato @luithe at this point i dont even know how they are supposed to fix this.
     the windows side of microsoft was been deeply undermined by indiens ever since they got there streetshitter ceo.
     even if they had he will to make another windows 7, they simply dont have the expertise to actually do it.
     its more likely for apple to come up with a new operating system then anything coming out of microsoft.
