Linux: hope nothing breaks.
Windows: hope nothing breaks.
Mac: hope nothing breaks.
If something breaks then roll back to the previous version?
Hope I don’t have to roll back. Hope the roll back works. How the hell do I roll back again? 😋
I use Mint. It don’t break.
Except the audio. Its always the fucking audio drivers.
i use arch btw. it dont break btw
It’s already broken.
Its just that efficient, does not get in the way of endlessly fiddling with the OS with such pesky things like “programs” or “functionality”
Linux mint was the only distro where things continually broke for me (just software, not the system, and this was 10 years ago now)
macOS does not have paid updates
The payment is you gotta buy a new one
Mac: oh only 1999,99 (buy a new one)
Also Windows 11 if your computer won’t run it and you don’t know about LTSC editions from the Mass Grave.
So many hoops to jump through just to keep using your computer… glad I’m on Linux which runs on a potato
I don’t know… first time I installed Fedora as a desktop experience, I was more like the windows user in this comic.
On every boot: “Oh, lets see if there are any updates! 1.2 GB, 150 packages need updating. No fucking way.”. It was just a shock, and I’ve managed my own headless Debian system for several years at that point.Windows has gotten even WORSE lately. Even though I have Windows 10 set to not install or even download updates without asking, I sometimes get a pop-up saying “we are adding new features, please wait” out of nowhere 🤬
In related news, I’ve installed Zorin OS on my laptop and hope to one day use it on my desktop that I play pirated games on…
Speaking of, is there any way to change settings so that the login password can be just a short pin i stead of the strong-ish password demanded by default?
Since I never leave it unattended (and rarely even use it) in public I don’t really need the security against in-person unauthorized use and since I mostly use my laptop for streaming, typing a password every time I start up is a hassle I’d rather avoid…
While some distros let you choose short passwords, most of them don’t nowadays. However, you can still change your user’s password despite to this. Just open terminal, type
sudo passwd username, type your desired password and enter. This way you can even use one character passwords, you really shouldn’t though.Thank you! 🫶
No problem! :)
This whole thing seems inaccurate. I literally never get even remotely excited about a Linux update, it’s always boring stuff that means nothing to me. I don’t Windows updates because I feel like it delivers them in a big lump and lets me install as I shutdown, which is easy. Apple hasn’t charged for updates in well over a decade.
Macos is free at this point
And you know what they say about free
Linux is free…
It’s fun?
I’d venture some Linux folks refuse to upgrade because of fears of compatibility issues.
The nice thing is having the choice.
