That's okay, I have a 1TB disk.

You can fix it today: https://www.debian.org/distrib/

I'm not affected.

You know why.

I'm not affectred, Microsoft said my PC was too old so I tthem to fuck off and don't use their OS anymore.

You know why, btw™

Same boat, after that happened with 1 PC, I went all in: Ublue distros in 4 PCs, 1 Steam Deck (Steam OS), 2 servers running Proxmox VE.

~3 years now since the switch. Freaking loving it.

15-20 years ago I'd regularly find Windows 7 PCs that had stuffed boot drives using the \Windows\Temp folder with corrupt or "could not install, retried" updates. They've improved nothing in all that time. The only thing they've "improved" is the UI, which is at best debatable. I think most people would now be absolutely thrilled to go back to 7's user interface today.

Using Windows at this point is a sign of someone too lazy to try something new, glued to a game run by assholes that won't check a box on their end to allow their anti-cheat to function elsewhere, or completely comfortable in the Windows ecosystem prison system.

Use Startallback and get your 7 experience back.

How has Microsoft bollocksed up using SQLite?

Is it just an OS editor basically?

Desktop/Handheld Gamers!

Bazzite comes formatted with compression and deduplication enabled for its BTRFS file system.

So your games shadercache and prefixes won't eat any extra space. (Compared to Steam OS).

Am a happy Bazzite user for ~3 years now.

Is windows 11 the bug?

"Btw, I'm using you know what"

Yep. If you don't mind a company subscription model (the software doesn't get removed after the period, just can't download updates) Stardock for Windows is awesome. Fences were invaluable for me and they also sell skin customisation that achieves this same idea.

I have a Win XP VM on my server for the nostalgia, plus if I want to sync my iPod Touches to iTunes the best compatible way was a VM running XP and the appropriate iTunes version.

Enterprises/corporations exist. Many of us have to use Windows for work, and no, I can't just go to the CEO and demand we move to Linux 💁🏻

You're vegan and do CrossFit?

It's not nice for Microsoft to call Windows 11 a "bug". It's true, but it isn't nice...

Got a link so i can Read up more Abt that?

Does your enterprise have requirements about your personal devices? I'd argue they don't.

Hopefully it's not allowed through your firewall ><

Yeah but Linux does this shit too with old kernels.

I like Debian, but if I wanted to play games it wouldn't be my first distro to choose.

https://distrochooser.de/ or similar might help to decide.

Your disk is only 320GB?

The greed for telemetry. It's what's powering this particular bug.

$ uname -r
6.8.0-124-generic

Not affected.

These days you can raise a family on that kind of money.

I don't get how every windows update they brick a percentage of their user base, and people still haven't considered switching to Linux, or at the very least a mac. This happens every year, sometimes twice a year.

not even on kernel 7 yet, pathetic

i use arch btw

why have a boring ui with one billion choices when you can make them fight

Haven't reinstalled this machine in 12 years

You have a machine?

Well, if you're looking for an actual answer... I couldn't get audio working on Linux on my laptop.
I had to switch back in order to watch movies.

Goddamn, I sometimes forget the times we live in. I forget my privilige.

Was more speaking in hyperbole. I can understand why when someone tells me their personal story. I could tell you is probably a driver issue, or I'd you meant Bluetooth sometimes mediatek chips don't play well with Linux. But I'm sure part of the reason you don't want to switch because you don't want someone like me droning over something you don't fully understand yet or really care about. You just want to watch your movie and I'm with you on that. Just having gone through learning linux it feels much easier to fix a Bluetooth issue than it is to deal with your computer potentially getting bricked once a year.

Bazzite s good because its immutable so you can't fuck it up as easily.

Kind of disappointing when what you want isn't in the discover store but I imagine most people won't really be bothered by that.

Cachyos is another good one if you want handheld mode option, and in my opinion is better than bazzite.

Ubuntus not bad if you are a noob because it is really easy to google for and figure stuff out, and software wise I think most stuff works for Ubuntu. But for numerous reasons I do not support or like Ubuntu anymore. And I used them sense xenial xeurs or whatever until focal fossa was released, then started moving to arch based.

Heh, it's probably on me. I was just test driving it. I have no doubt I could have figured it out if I had spent more time.

It was just the HDMI audio from a standard Intel 14th gen processor. Didn't feel it was anything too out of the ordinary, but have tried about 6 releases over 3 distros and not a one has worked.

Which is why I use Linux on my devices, and WSL on my work device.

Nah theres a lot of debugging you gotta do sometimes, wouldnt say its you. I have a little beelink that has issues that none of my other PCs have and it's just not important enough for me to care to address. Just how it is and no shame in it.

It's not the bug, it's the nest

Hmm I couldn't find anything that large on /etc 🤔

You have X number of OS versions, Y number of different hardware variations, and Z number of applications.

Easy-peasy. What can possibly go wrong?

the software doesn't get removed after the period, just can't download updates

wish I knew that back then. had a huge interest in customization and stuff. Oh well, too late now....

Ubuntus not bad if you are a noob because it is really easy to google for and figure stuff out,

Counterpoint: some of the advice out there is so old that it doesn't work due to the command formatting having changed

I imagine that could compound too when you ask google something and the ai search results brings up older stuff because that's more documented.

Laughs in Penguinese.

Ha yeah. It can't even use the internet so I jump through a few hoops to get the software on the 'drive'

You can game just fine on Debian, skill issue? And Debian will be around and doing great long after your vanity distro has disappeared.
