Ziglin (it/they)

I think they are trying to exaggerate how very outdated some Windows UI elements look (primarily dialog boxes?). I doubt they would use a 95 theme on an OS that’s hard to theme and annoying to use.

It is the default setting. I’m not aware of any app that uses the setting though. I also doubt anybody is going to find the setting in the dev options anyways.

Anyone know how to require authentication for root privelages? Currently I can become root without a password.

I’ve only had it quite that bad once when I just rebooted and it decided to pull an update. After that the bios was unable to find any of the bootloaders on my system. (Fixed with a lot fiddling from a liveusb. Is a dual boot system but I haven’t touched Windows on it since 2023)

These other ones just made it unusable. Another time on a laptop it pulled updates in the background and would crash itself just after login. (Needed to be reinstalled and I lost some data which wasn’t backed up yet. setup by manufacturer)

Then on a different desktop system it just would bsod every few minutes, barely leaving time to go through logs. (I finally fixed it by changing a BIOS setting and reinstalling Windows, setup by manufacturer installed Linux on a separate drive and it was fine until the drive malfunctioned)

This was not a crash, just a thirty minute delay. A couple of days ago that device did an update without me even logging in. I accidentally started windows, then immediately selected reboot in the power menu before entering a password. It then ‘prepared’ something and told me not to reboot, bypassed grub, rebooted again, bypassed grub (after I missed the bios), rebooted again back into grub.

How am I the only one who does have annoying issues like this on Windows (except that Windows only gives a useless error code at most) while Linux has failed to boot a total of once (without me explicitly changing nvidia drivers).

Ah, I don’t have an app store. That would explain why I have never seen it.

That just displays the command or is there a browser extension that runs it for you too? Most Windows apps certainly don’t run by just clicking a button either.

Do you have spies behind you when playing cards too?

Wait how do you install flatpaks? I add the remote (if necessary) and then install it from there. That is nothing like I have ever seen on Windows (though apparently there are package managers).

I think providing human rights to it’s citizens is definitely more important, not sure if it is necessarily the primary one though.

So just don’t let them join/kick them from your server?

Idk, I saw a post on pornhub stats on I believe a map community that showed that cuddles were quite a popular tag. And if it’s wholesome and comfy looking why not?

I was attempting to warn them so that they unplug the Linux drive when updating windows too.

Same thing applies to Windows.

Yes earlier it looked like it wasn’t symmetrical (to me), now I just don’t like that the eye crosses the imaginary edge of the box.

I’m not sure whether it’s actually the case but the eye makes the corners look off.

Hmm I was clearly too well behaved. Most of my knowledge of computers came through wanting to program them to do cool stuff, not bypass restrictions. The cheatiest thing I can remember doing is copying a cool puzzle game from the school computer onto a flash drive so I could play it at home, so I guess I did it backwards?

*use

Then they could just not have an is preinstalled. No need for Linux first unless you don’t already have a device to create the ISO with. (Which is something I’d expect most people to have access to if they know how to install windows)

I really do believe that this is marketed towards people who want to use Linux.

I’d use SSH, I don’t know how to set it up by heart but I do know that there’s a Windows client called putty which seems to work pretty well since it sounds like you don’t have another Linux machine to run an SSH client from.
