    i like not having to have a microsoft account to utilize it.

    you know whats really awesome? being able to decide if i want updates. or a tightly-integrated piece of shit llm.

    being able to modify literally every aspect of the shell.

    windows 3.1 was more theme-able than win11.

    linux works out of the box for all the old people i repurpose machines for and i dont have to think about cloud-connect bullshit. fuck, half of them dont notice its not windows until i mention it.

    better question is why the fuck would you use windows without being paid to?

      i use it bec i like it,i like that my cracks work there without effort. that i dont need to update my system to download an app. i like the ui,that any app will work. i never have to use the terminal. a lot of stuff. and about being paid,i didnt even pay for it i used massgravel (or whatever its named) to active it

        Haha. I don’t believe in destiny, but the things you like about Windows are the things I liked about Windows before I switched to Linux.

        You’ll find many other fans of cracking / Liberating software, here. It’s where the “Libre” we talk about comes from.

        Anyway, keep asking questions of you’re curious.

        I’ll just add that I haven’t used the command line for anything basic on Linux in several years. Command line is really not necessary anymore, unless I’m doing something advanced like modding my games. Actually, I guess I haven’t modded anything in awhile that didn’t come with a graphical kit. But I’m sure I still might, for the right mod.
