Streaming services like netflix and prime helped reduce piracy to all time lows. But then corps started getting stupid again and making their own exclusive streaming services, requiring you to have 20 subscriptions just get all the same shit you had with 2. Now drm enforcement on top of that and piracy is back on the rise…

Agree, i have rarely seen people who actually use adblock outside my work. I had to practically tie up my entire family, in-laws included to get ublock installed on all their computers.

They tried that already with the samsung s7 active. It was a pretty rugged phone by itself but people still insisted on putting a case on it. They then complained about the phone being too big and it didn’t sell well.

Same here. UBlock origin has been the gold standard for so long I’m surprised not everyone uses it.

I’m probably going to get flammed for this, so let me just say I’m already a Linux user.

We need to cool our jets here. Windows 12 isn’t even confirmed yet, and there’s no proof that it will require a subscription. That being said, a subscription service isn’t necessarily a bad thing if it will allow users to have access to features they need, or replace other existing subscription services like xbox game pass, cloud storage, media, etc…

Just a general reminder for folks to generate content. Don’t worry if it doesn’t get a lot of attention yet, the fact that it’s there will bring people in.

Meh, kinda depends. Most issues I’ve had with Arch are related to bugs with apps rather than system breakage (looking at you early Plasma). Overall Arch is stable and issues are resolved quickly, though sometimes you may need to avoid major software releases for a while.

Yeah idk, many distros show the classic startup/shutdow process

Agreed, Linux is better, but still good to know how to work with Windows

Oh cool, more power to them

Just installed windows on a new hardrive and even that muthafucker couldn’t get the audio driver to work properly!

Browsing lemmy with a 2 in 1 Riced Arch laptop in bed…

Windows drivers can be hell at times, even more so than Linux.

Do it the traditional way! Its good to learn that stuff and feel comfortable tinkering around your system when need be… Especially when dealing with partitioning and setting up your bootloader.

Been using Arch mostly for 12 years here. It has always ran the best out of the box next to Ubuntu/Mint for me. And Arch seems to age even better than Ubuntu after a few releases break your shit.

I feel like Debian people are the ones who wear fedoras, and the ones who use Fedora wear golf attire.

Then you got Arch people like me (black jeans and hoody) who need to ham it into every conversation that I use Arch.

I just used the Arch Install script last time, does that make me a bad person?
