i like not having to have a microsoft account to utilize it.
you know whats really awesome? being able to decide if i want updates. or a tightly-integrated piece of shit llm.
being able to modify literally every aspect of the shell.
windows 3.1 was more theme-able than win11.
linux works out of the box for all the old people i repurpose machines for and i dont have to think about cloud-connect bullshit. fuck, half of them dont notice its not windows until i mention it.
better question is why the fuck would you use windows without being paid to?
i use it bec i like it,i like that my cracks work there without effort. that i dont need to update my system to download an app. i like the ui,that any app will work. i never have to use the terminal. a lot of stuff. and about being paid,i didnt even pay for it i used massgravel (or whatever its named) to active it
Linux distros nowadays are fully working and usable without the need of the terminal. Terminal is mostly used in online guides. Because it is easier to write a commandline than making 5 screenshots about where you have to point in a GUI.
Haha. I don’t believe in destiny, but the things you like about Windows are the things I liked about Windows before I switched to Linux.
You’ll find many other fans of cracking / Liberating software, here. It’s where the “Libre” we talk about comes from.
Anyway, keep asking questions of you’re curious.
I’ll just add that I haven’t used the command line for anything basic on Linux in several years. Command line is really not necessary anymore, unless I’m doing something advanced like modding my games. Actually, I guess I haven’t modded anything in awhile that didn’t come with a graphical kit. But I’m sure I still might, for the right mod.
since you switched to linux. how do you use cracks? or did you stop using them?
I make good money now and buy all my games, but I still apply mods.
Mod manager tools tend to just work on Linux now, thanks to the SteamDeck.
Did I accidentally time travel to 1999?
why?
I dunno, I thought most gaming pirates these days just use re-packs.
i do use repacks. but cracks arent only for games,i have cracked software.
Pretty sure software repacks exist too. Maybe not as popular as games.
Anyway, I guess I wouldn’t know since I just skip the malware and use FOSS instead
Depends on what you’re cracking, but for games there’s tons of cracked games that work great on Linux.
haha wow its been awhile for you hasnt it?
explain what changed if its that radical.
im not going to bother you seem trollish… your rep precedes you
g’day!
So wildly off topic question.
How are you seeing a reputation score?
host instance is using mbin, not lemmy. its more reddit-like than lemmy but has access to all the same content…also natively connects to the the twitterverse (mastodon).

say what you want i just have unpopular opinions and dont care about karma like reddit since it doesnt affect anything here.
Sure, but you chose a weird place to strut around yelling them loudly.
There is a difference between being a contrarian troll and having unpopular opinions.
