I was raised being told I shouldn't need meds to function, so I thought much the same. I'm glad I didn't persist in that thinking. It's not night and day, in fact I would say it's subtle enough - like growing hair, you don't notice, but those around you occasionally might.

All my backups are tested, so upgrades (or recovering from a failure) are usually straightforward. The only thing I don't back up is my collection of Linux ISOs, but that I can easily reacquire.

I want that T-shirt

If they really cared they'd just have some big warning if the all is from an "unverified" developer. It's all about control.

This brand won't be in the U.S. anytime soon.

I'm going to wait on the outcome of these lawsuits and the discovery process before I lean one way or the other.

You could try a CLI tool like: https://github.com/vossenwout/crev

It's a tad overkill but you could also use: https://github.com/kodustech/kodus-ai

I helped my mom with her windows install when the update half a year ago nuked keyboard support (I had to use the onscreen keyboard just to login). Before thar I had to forcefully install the correct wifi driver as well to get it working properly. This is was running from their factory installation. Stuff working correctly out of the box is a problem on both platforms.

To your first comment about incompatible anticheat - in must cases it's a conscious decision the publisher makes. Are We Anti-Cheat Yet it's a good resource. Personally I find my OS preventing me from being able to run a privacy invading rootkit to be a pro as well.

To the second comment, a good amount of games bench better on Linux, not sure what's going on with his system so I agree.

Definitely unfortunate to see a creator publishing content without first doing some research but that's more and my common nowadays.

When all else fails, get Termux and just run the commands manually / setup some scripts.

There's been malware in the past, not only that - AUR is user submitted. It's in the name. They warn you to double check what you're installing. It is functionally similar to running a random installer you found on GitHub.

It seems like these instances are being intentionally blown out of proportion, but I don't see what there is to gain by doing that.
