If Gmail proved anything, it was that people would, for the most part, accept any terms of service. Or at least not care enough to read the fine-print closely.
Yes, I can install VLC, but honestly I spend almost no time on that machine, because it is linux and everything it does creates friction. Every time I go back to it it’s a coin flip if the program I had to install to configure my mouse & keyboard will actually work or will just break again. So I can’t be bothered fixing it at this point. I have it to the point where it barely does what I need and now I am avoiding it.
I was hoping it would act as a gateway to transition everything over, but it just ended up being yet another cautionary tale about relying on a system that is made for and by enthusiasts only.
And sure, I’ll just buy another VR headset that I can’t currently afford when my other one works just fine. Or maybe I’ll do without and one of my main forms of exercise will just be gone. VR is currently notoriously bad on linux, but I guess that’s not so different to getting a logitech mouse working, or something else equally basic.
Glad to see linux evangelists are as toxic as ever.
I’m sure you’re about to offer to “help” me with this, and just like the stack overflow guy, I’ll have to tell you that I would not want help from someone like you.
I was going to suggest that nothing lasts forever, and by the time your shitty shackled masturbatory aid (seriously, just use a Hitachi, it’s cheaper, and you can probably get free shipping if you also order a new HDD; they make good ones) breaks windows will have gone from shit show to shit storm, and you should try again.
See, I’m not saying Linux is easy. Its harder than windows was fifteen years ago. I’m saying windows is getting worse so fast that your data I’d at risk.
Again with the toxicity. You’ll forgive me if I leave this conversation now. Well, you probably won’t, because of the toxicity, but a reasonable person would.
I think you’re being unreasonably offended here, and I’m sure there’s a reason but I can’t figure it out. Being asked to change, like its something I’m asking you to do for my sake? Secret crush on bill gates? Linux killed your dog?
Nobody owes you a reply, and this is the last one you will get. If you can’t figure out what’s wrong just from reading the way you write, there’s obviously nothing I can do to help you.
