@cferdinandi @molly0xfff but no one will stop using windows. Next time it will be enough maybe...

@Chris @molly0xfff @libreoffice @cferdinandi i think I started using mint as a daily driver in 2013. Not it's just debian.

I did. Whatever they did in December was the last straw for me.

I did leave dual boot on my desktop "just in case", but haven't actually booted windows since.

I went to the trouble to set up dual boot on my linux/windows box as i was trying to phase out windows, but windows hates grub and every time i restart windows, it suspects it's newly installed and makes me enter install codes, which is a pain because you can't go get them and cut & paste them when the OS isn't booted. you really have to type them in. it's so tedious and unusable that I finally had to install virtualbox and build windows inside that instead just so i could occasionally use the one or two apps that i have no equivalent of under linux.

@EricLawton @f4grx @cferdinandi @molly0xfff I have not needed to boot my windows virtual and just removed my second graphics card I used for a gaming Windows 10 virtual with pass through. The AMD RX6800 is great on Debian. I can play all the games I want now without Windows, hopefully Microsoft doesn't have enough incentive to make breaking changes in Windows 11 and Wine / Proton keeps working as great as it is. It'll work at least for a decade from now with the compatibility cycle in mind.

I'm only using Windows at my day job. My party laptop runs another OS, and I know better than to party on my work laptop.

@molly0xfff @cferdinandi @f4grx The problem is that we live in a world where they make it easy for you to be spied upon, but hard to get privacy

They tell you that being spied on is what information security looks like. Only Microsoft's paying customers can look at your data, that's how you know it's secure. 🙃

They want to confuse the ideas of privacy and security so people simply won't think about this
