| All they are posting is how proprietary it is and how foss gives them that hard on for their circlejerk.... Oh and that shit support link nobody ever visits cuz there is no support
| >>370545 maybe start from addressing both sides either as "fags" or "users". You are pretending like linux user did nothing wrong, where your post already pictures how calling the other side fags are okay. I've been here a while and linux users often call the other side brainlet and other derogatory term.
Also, the janitor in blue already said they are going to delete trolls questions about windows, stop crying your proprietary tears, you get the janitor already on your side

Stopping toxic shit like windows, ios and OSX is not easy. They have more budget and more fundamentalist userbase without understanding the basic concepts of liberty, modularity and simplicity.

Here are the tools I use:
- 7+ Taskbar Tweaker
- Winaero Tweaker
- Wallpaper Engine
- Classic Shell
- Rainmeter
- Customizer God
It's a pain, but you can get something decent with it.
| Looks like OP hasn't been to /new/. Toxicity is strong there.
| The only good versions of Windows are neutered W7/8/8.1 and below. Windows 10 doesn't deserve the title of OS as much as it deserves the title of wiretap system. That's really just my opinion, though.
It just so happens that so many good ThinkPads also support the good versions of Windows.

I like GNU/Linux and foss, but isn't Windows development backed by, like, thousands of people who work on its updates (e.g. don't need to focus on anything else), and are paid well for their job?

To quote a certain developer, it just works. You set it up, and you can start using it. I understand it's the same for Ubuntu and macOS, but I really have to commend Microsoft for getting it right. It really isn't their fault that you need drivers, just like how it isn't the GNU/Linux developer teams' fault that you need to download drivers. Hardware needs software to work. Microsoft just has a good codebase, even if it's prop. (unless we're talking bout 10, fukthatshiit)
| "ubuntu and macos" woops, I meant Linux in general.
| *Linux in general, as well as UNIX derivatives and UNIX-based-but-not-actually-UNIX-derived operating systems

If you include the whole GNU/Linux ecosystems there's thousands of people too who are contributing. If you actually look at the top contributors you'll see that they're quite serious, being employed by RedHat, Intel, SUSE and so on.

>Windows just works and is simple to set up
Let us assume you've bought a new PC. Your last one had Windows. Your new one does too. So ofcourse it's going to be easy to set up and will just work. Otherwise you wouldn't have been using Windows until that point.
Also I don't know what you mean about GNU/Linux drivers. The kernel has device drivers included. Never had to download any.

Let me quote some parts of leaked source code:
>IF YOU CHANGE TABS TO SPACES, YOU WILL BE KILLED
>DOING SO FUCKS THE BUILD PROCESS
>// HACK HACK HACK. REMOVE THIS ONCE MARLETT IS AROUND
>The magnitude of this hack compares favorably with that of the national debt.

Clearly you have never worked with a team of code monkeys 15 years ago with upcoming deadlines. Or you are trolling. This is a place for nice g/u/rls.
It is normal to put such comments in raw source code when a whole team works on it.
| >>374057
I have for the past 2 years actually. Not every boss appreciates shit and fuck in his software, which the customer has access to.
| >>374059
Depends. These days everything is outsourced, meaning the customer can request a piece od code doing stuff or he can ask for a finished program.
I believe M$ guys work for M$, and nobody outside of M$ can access the source code. So you can make ascii dicks if you wish.

>Microsoft just has a good codebase, even if it's prop.
Yeah, my proprietary software has the best codebase ever. It's so superior it'll fuck you all in the ass.
No, seriously dude, pls explain us how a codebase can be judged if it's proprietary (=closed source)?

Let me guess: they belong to jewish dinausaur nigger-feminists who secretly and softly want to genocide white man.

I bet most microsoft devs are engaged in open source/free software projects in their free-time where they can find and do stuff which their marketing unit can't even imagine.
Windows software is from an evolutionary point of view like a incest family that suffers from a homogene gene pool. That's why windows can't evolve without stealing ideas from other projects. The recent development just shows us that windows becomes more and more unix-alike.

I never had issues with WiFi on linux, but I have to admit never using an USB WiFi antenna, since laptops have integrated WiFi modules (it's PCI I think) and my desktops all use wired lan. (Never use wireless stuff on stationary devices!)
Concerning Nvidia: It works good with the unfortunatly proprietary drivers. The support for older models sucks thought, but I would say it's more an issue of nvidia and not linux.
