Windows seems to be a severe infrastructure problem in modern Russia.

yes.

Also the first two letters of the Greek alphabet are άλφα (alpha) and βήτα (beta)

I know that unfortunately it’s not going to happen.

I also know that there are numerous NGOS and less fortunate people who could really take advantage of using a pc and use it for a good cause or just enjoy it.

I also realise that there is a great number of students, even in the developed world, who could use a laptop for school and fun as well by running Linux.

instead of throwing the hardware away it could be repurposed.

Also i could use a couple of new old pcs to build a NAS for local cloud and jellyfish as well as a Batocera based emulation console for my living room.

We should tread lightly!

“I hate so fucking much how little customer service companies are allowed to have”.

It’s not a mater of how much customer service they’re allowed, rather than how much they choose to have. In most cases they choose to have close to none because it’s more profitable for them, so its in the best short term interest of their share holders.

Just wait until they find out public schools are giving their children dihydrogen monoxide without asking for parental approval.

WFH not only cuts emissions. It also helps the worker spend way less money that would otherwise be spent in food, gas and other. It also saves a lot of time commuting from home to work.

I also use Nvidia GPUs on Windows. The thing is that They tend to have driver issues on Linux.

I’m also very disappointed with the closed architecture of their software, their recent price hiking in Europe and the fact that they stop supporting older GPUs

TL’DR. I don’t have a bad experience on Windows. At the same time it’s hard to switch to Linux, they dont have open source drivers and they don’t have long term support for their products by turning them obsolete through software
