Sure for the possibility for every OSes to break but what I said was just a recent example, even though it's on a pretty pristine installation in term of alteration. There's so many other things where Windows and its ecosystems is a mess but I guess it is more or less forgiven because you can game on it and because that particular device you would use has the driver while on Linux it must be reverse engineered and written if not, never exist.

Anyway, my whole point is about the "just works" label which has been proven to be wrong more than I can count.

You have to explain to me what you do then, please. :) I swear, i don't do anything fancy and this is not the only windows I am exposed to.

Thank you, but I was talking about heat generated by the fires and compound build-up (eg: co2), while the last one might bring its effects later.

Just to be sure, I talk about these figures, not the global climate deregulation.

tbh, cause my other comment in this thread were more windows-rant, I had one moment where I felt "alone" in enterprise (i was 23). It was in 2007, laptops in enterprise, at least in this insurance company was not common, and I was the only person with my glorious x60, at least within the openspace :). I was called in a meeting to help to display something, except that this is was my personal laptop, with hardware issue and gentooised, i don't remember exactly the issue but X was not willing to start at resume, even after reboot. I felt alone in front of the senior dev and manager guys :P Of course, it was the classical Murphy shit moment.

Note that this projector was usually connected to one of these HP pizzabox running wintel but it was not working. So I guess I shouldn't be totally ashamed at the end.

Sounds like you’re just more familiar with Linux and that’s fine

While it is partly true, I can't deny I spent the last 15years on linux, I have my fair amount of deal with windows in a professional setup, I can't totally accept this response then, hence the word partly true :P.

Now, explain me how any familiarity with Windows can help when a vanilla installation for windows 10 pro, used for two specific application (nothing cloudy), no game, almost offline, etc... How this system decides, randomly to not allow me to literally login in, looping forever before giving prompt, or pretend there is issue with my PIN and or my profile although I use plain passphrase and my account is local and literally nothing has changed system wise since the last session! I have disabled all the auto update shit everywhere (the obvious one and the one I know about) and no updates in between.

You could say I might no know this particular register bit field. Probably but then, we are not in the easy/just works view.

He is right though. Why do you think Windows was so common in companies (on the server side) in Europe at least. Beside the MS lobbying of course, it lowered the initial entry bar, then you ended up with infrastructure completely fuck'd up. Yes, at my last client, we still had 2003 servers running because software deployed on it was done on the "click/click, copy this file" way. I pass on the "clustered" windows servers which never worked succeed a freaking failover.

Same. I swear, people running Windows don't really know what "just works" means.

Couldn't the massive fires (energy and compounds generated) exacerbate these values?

Don't make me say what I didn't say.

UI is still a bit weird. I enjoy Lemmy but linking or getting back to the context of a comment is still not possible (on Firefox/Chrome)

They had long longevity cause you didn't need a fucking client/gatekeeper (win only) to be allowed to use it, no DRM, was cross-platform from the beginning, was light, still light and the gameplay is simply awesome.

how long before our beautiful UE thinks about doing the same?
