Anyone using Mac windows and Linux over the years would see that most Linux DEs copy a lot from either MS or Apple, most outside of gnome primary mimicking windows.

So you literally just know gnome and kde plasma. That's cute.

Woah there! That wasn't a flex, I just said you don't seem so familiar with current computer interfaces. But hey, if you wanna be offended you do you

When did I state any opinion on UI in this conversation? I just said not everything is apple and MS, and no shit most stuff has similarities people get used to features and there's stuff that just can't be done in more ways. Also I actually find KDE like a sweet spot between windows and android, with a few original and apple features. Just keep whining about how superior you think you are like an average apple fanboy

Problem is the training data might include "Do you know what google is, noob?"

Toggling on data collection without informing the user would mean billions of dollars worth of fines in Europe, so I doubt that happens regularly.

More like a few thousand euros symbolic fine and an angry letter saying "don't be an ass again pls our infrastructure depends on you" after years of blatant abuses and anti-consumer practices, followed by an ambiguous law (with positive effects affecting only european users) they will definitely not manage to circumvent withing the next week and a half. Not this time 🤡.

The problem here is the fact that most people just do not give a fuck about this; that's why there's no coverage in the (mainstream) media, why the only people who cares end up just leaving windows and why this kind of options are usually opt-out and they can actually afford to silently re-enable them cuz who's gonna check anyways? Random people ranting on meme communities about my fancy malware?

A version with different distros would be nice. I want to see blood here.

Tried a few of those once, only one worked and mfker installed itself in the next update. Uninstalling Windows was easy af tho.

That's the thing, most desktop distros come with a web browser preinstalled, but:

• It's usually firefox or librewolf, which are objectively superior to edge in any scenario.
• You can uninstall it right away with either a three word command or open a program with a big red "uninstall" button, no console needed.
• Nothing breaks, the system literally doesn't give a fuck if you even have a web browser at all.
• If you want another browser then go for it! You can even use edge if you're a psychopath. Your system wont judge you, but i might sorry-
• It will never reinstall crap you uninstalled and set it the default on a random mandatory system update.

Either that or stop babysitting canonical and use debian instead

I truly wouldn't recommend Linux for a fairly tech illiterate person like him

I would actually argue the opposite, linux is way more intuitive for new people who hasn't used a pc before or hasn't used windows long enough to fill their brain with their unconsistent mess. I've seen 3 variants of this already with people close to me ( last one of them encouraged by me). Kinda mind boggling.

I thought it meant 90% of the ones switching to windows

Not very accessible, in the vast majority of (troubleshooting, nothing private) cases free gpt is the best option (fast, free, openAI training on that chat might even be beneficial to the community). Decent GPU's for LLM are stupid pricey.

Untrue statement plus in some distros you don't need the terminal at all. Fear to the terminal is included in windows' inconsistent mess, as i said, to real first time users it's not that horrible to "talk to the pc so it does what you told it to do".

Also you don't get to decide if an experience i had felt mind boggling or not (?

The worst web browser ever, period, is still embedded into the system to this day and the entire OS will collapse if you manage to delete. Just an example; without the bloat you literally wouldn't have any OS left (except, ironically, some unix components).

That said, I agree with you, no OS is great compared with windows lol

Tbh I'm pretty new to nixos, but I'm starting to believe if we had that the exact same config (at least without flakes, I'm still having trouble undertanding them) but with a slightly abstracted UI, it would be one of the most user-friendly distros out there.

Like just imagine being able to click "Add program", write the name of a program, having all the options appear below as dropdown menus or on/off switches, then click big blue button "Apply" to rebuild.

Check on EducaandOS. It's my region's school distro. It was absolute crap around 15 years ago, when they launched (names Guadalinex Edu), but it was preinstalled in school laptops so we learned to use it.

Right now it's pretty decent and simple enough to just throw it into a kid's computer, but sadly nobody gives a fuck about it. It would be so cool if more institutions tried to pull projects like this

So that begs the question: whY THE FUCK haven't i search for that before?

Thanks, I'll be looking into it

I will die of laughter if someone manages to trick copilot to get data stolen from the USA (or another countrie's) government by M$. Not saying it will happen, but knowing GPT... Just imagine the memes

Perfection. I'll add one more:
