Because you talked about my computer not supporting Windows 11?? So I clarified that it does support it and came pre-installed, and I would still prefer pop_OS (i.e. not relevant, as you said).
I can’t believe your computers support Windows 11.
I don't understand why that would have to do with anything to being with, though.
I love winget, at least for the initial installation. No more having to search the the download and click through a gui. Just one or two commands (two if searching for the id) and done.
You don't even need the terminal. There is a interface to update if you are using a DE.
My brother-in-law installed Linux Mint for his parents and they are very happy with it. The only problem was downloading epubs with Adobe DRM, so I taught her how to use knock1 in the terminal and then import the book into Calibre to upload them to her ereader.

Nice!
I work at a very small company, so there is no policy for which software to use and I would replace the one software that is Windows only if I could, even if I had to remain on Windows. The problem I have in this case is that we rely external tools that only work with this software, only on Windows. :-(
I get your point. I would asume that those who chose to remove adware and remove telemetry would also be the same group that use ad blockers.
Is it not the one who claims something that has the burden of proof? I'm confused.
I wish I could use Linux at work but the software used does not have any alternative (that I can use) and I can't be bothered with debloating and all that jazz. I try to keep work and private seperate instead.
I've read enough posts over at /r/sysadmin, it is always DNS.
Buy now, pay later does not prevent crippling debt. It makes it easy to buy without thinking or realising the actual cost. It makes is easy to stack up invoices that you in the end can't afford.
Except when you want to learn it but there isn't enough time to. Then it is nice and frustrating at the same time.
I don't know about regular contact but they get money when you use their link to buy via gog.

Just learned about AppImageLauncher
Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages - GitHub - TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher: Helper application for Linux d...
I just found out about AppImageLauncher, a package handler for AppImages. It organizes them, creates desktop files for you and handles updates and removal.
> Integrate AppImages to your application launcher with one click, and manage, update and remove them from there. Double-click AppImages to open them, without having to make them executable first.
Much better than having to create all the desktop files myself, and having to figure out what to put in them for it to work correctly (I'm looking at you, qBittorrent and magnet links).
