Been using arch with DWM for a decade, why would I want to try anything else?

Are they? What if the server refuses to serve the video until the ad’s duration has passed? You’d have no better option than to hide it, which most people wouldn’t bother with.

That’s exactly what the vast majority of AUR packages do already? You can also apply modifications to the compilation process if needed.

There are plenty of places where not having a car isn’t even a possibility. If I didn’t have a car, not only would I be unable to work, I’d probably also starve to death, or perhaps have to eat gas station food the rest of my life.

It’s not “linux”’s job to be userfriendly, it’s up to the distro. Look at android, steam deck and chromebooks, three very userfriendly linux distros. Now we just need some billion dollar company to do what google and valve did with those for a desktop and we’re good to go.

Is that just a backup of the old one or does it still get updated?

It’s probably all in the registry somewhere.

Oh I didn’t know that. But yeah I don’t have BIOS access, even if it was a registry key I couldn’t do it. It’s fine though, for now I always plug in another mouse/keyboard/monitor and forget that laptop exists.

I could get used to it just for control, but pressing ctrl-shift without fn is very awkward, especially since it’s a shortcut I have to use a lot. And then there’s the fact that I unlearn it everyday with my keyboard at home.

Years after using one for work, I still cannot get used to having Ctrl not being the leftmost key.

Right but most people have no clue, they’ll go to their local store which I guarantee you doesn’t have Linux computers. Online buyers will go on amazon and buy from “known and reputable” brands like Asus, Dell and such. Don’t get me wrong, I love linux and have been using it as my main OS for nearly a decade but to say it’s easy to get/install for your average user is just wrong. Everyone always overestimates what the average user is actually like. Your average user doesn’t even know what an OS or Linux even is.

The issue is that you have to install it. Most users don’t have a clue how to install windows either, but it came with their PC.

Most workplaces have those disabled through the group policy editor and the likes. I’ve never seen a single ad on my work laptop. Cortana, copilot and all that crap are also disabled by default.

Why? There was a time when chrome was significantly better, and most people hate change.

Anything less than the full unmodded suckless suite is unacceptable

That’s fair, it’s personal preference I suppose. If ever you’re interested, remember that there are always cheats/mods that can make the game easier if you want to experience the world and story.

They don’t have to be, I feel like their reputation might be what stresses newcomers to the genre more than the game itself.

It’s probably just your tax pennies unfortunately, your tax dollars are still going to the army and such.

It does though

Try flameshot or spectacle, way better.
