I decided to tryout W11 in vm to see how it works in comparison to W10 and damn, current Explorer not only is slow but feels like taped together with at least 3 different UIs.

I don't wanna be rude but it looks like this guy just arrived on the Internet this year - around March-April and it doesn't seem like he has any prior activity. He just decided to roll this Notepad++ for macOS and that's it

I'm baffled that "cel podróży" was replaced with a bizarre " destynacja " from English 'destination'. And it seems it's also being used outside tourism context. Not mention the infamous " hejter

Haven't seen this specific "you're using wrong distro" so far. I'm more often bumping on a general rude attitude of people answering. As if asking questions, looking for solutions is not what all these distro forums

I don't think that any of the news-oriented default Windows application since W8 had an option to provide a custom RSS channel. It was always a default pool of sources they were bringing.

Nah, not anymore - Linux is usable for ordinary daily tasks for more than 10 years now. And even gaming is in good shape thanks to Proton - that is, unless you have some particular choices which are known to not work.

It's not just Microsoft but they do it in the one of most nastiest ways. I won't count how many times I was checking if my Windows settings weren't randomly reverted to Microsoft-safe-defaults back after updates. And I&#x27
