But in many cases, like Proxmox, there is nothing proprietary. What they provide is the glue, the polish, the interface that ties together the technologies they build on. If they began to be nasty, you can just leave (or even, continue to u

What do you find wrong with "this new world"? For context, I'm using their free offering for my home server, for 6-7 years now. Happy as a clam.

No — I can assure you that I am a living, breathing human being. Jokes aside, Windows 11 can be used with Linux on the same machine, Secure Boot on and off. Why does this fact seem to be so unacceptable to you?

You’ve repeated the claim without evidence and added personal insults. If you want this to be a real discussion, stop the bad faith, and support your argument properly.

Valve is clean enough. They develop and support Proton. Their stance, and the working state of Proton is quite clear. They run the Deck Verified program, where they ascertain on how well the software from their store works on the deck, via

Attacks and accusations won't prove your point. I see no sources. "People know", "they expect" are not legal requirement. To clarify, I'm waiting for a source for this statement of yours: "When you sell a

Commendable action! If feel like it's a different case though. Two points: 1. Working for someone, even through a large company, is a much more directly supportive relationship, than using someone's free project. Especially since

For one, CD Projekt would have been sued if this was the case. If there ever was a broken game release, Cyberpunk 2077 was one, with a staggering amount of players complaining about game breaking bugs. And those didn't go away for a go

I have my doubts, even for this softer version. These are things where one might feel very strongly in a moment, or even for a longer time, but facing a real life decision, there are so many other factors. Of course we will never know the o

No, it's the other way around. You raise "When you sell a product, technical support must be provided as a legal requirement in tons of countries", and you bring the source to back that up, otherwise, the point is moot. I mer

If you ever want to discuss the actual issue instead of spiraling, let me know. Bring sources. Until then, good luck out there.

If programming is just my hobby, then maybe. But would you, for example, quit your current job and look for another, just to change the programming language? I know I'm not that sort of person.

Looks-wise, I agree, the "MS heart Linux" era was better than the current one.

I don't appreciate the insults. And no, that's not how it works. You have the original claim, that support is "requirement in tons of countries around the world". Software in my experience, unless b2b or otherwise explic

LTSC is basically a trimmed-down version of Windows. Whatever is possible in Home, Pro, Enterprise etc, is possible in the LTSC as well. Most of the LTSC surprise comes from the lack of features. For example, I installed the "LTSC N&qu

I absolutely cannot understand that. I'm aware that actual scams are illegal, as in, advertising a feature, and selling the thing without the feature, for example. But, are they not selling PC and PC software in the countries you refer

I agree with you, and I too find this "funny". Frankly, being in such an intimate relationship with something, and not trusting it, and constantly going against it just made me feel unhealthy. Like they are out to get me, but this

You can also try Windows LTSC. A little bit more fiddly to set up than normal Windows, but, you get a break from normal Windows. You'll have no problem since you tried Linux as well.

by npteljes 11mo ago
Try LTSC in case you haven't already. It's the essence of Windows, without most of this user-facing bullshit. They release it for environments where people expect their things to actually work, "like hospitals or kiosks"

Consider moving to another operating system. Honestly, I don't think there can be that much privacy on Windows. Windows is basically remotely managed by Microsoft, especially if you think of it in terms of years. There is also no indic

"We" are absolutely not fine with the state of things there, but there is also not much to do for these poor people, aside from some non-political volunteer help. One of the reasons is the that, as I understand it, China and NK ar

No need for personal attacks. I don't know about your argument. PC doesn't have official support either. Games say they run on Windows, or whatever, but PC is notorious for tinkering, and for random things happening. And that&#x27

Microsoft was never not a full-blown evil corporation. What they had, at their peak, is some software that worked well. In the background, same evil corporation as ever. I can't even write a top example why. Just take a glance at the d

I'm talking about being more relaxed to this kind of stuff. The world is full of wonders, and problems. Most of them deserving more attention than this non-issue. Proton, and Valve's rating system is working fine.

In my opinion, the game only has to work for the hours the player enjoys them. Once I figured this out for myself, I became much more relaxed towards all of this. Buying is not owning, just licensing? Streaming means I don't have a loc
