    @still@infosec.exchange This is the time we are in now. Microsoft has fucked Windows so bad that the process of making a Windows install actually usable is comparable in technical complexity to just installing Linux. Which is a shame, I'd have hoped Linux devs would have done more to simplify the install process.

    @still@infosec.exchange I finally made the shift earlier this year myself. Thankfully I live with my technical support, or this would not have gone smoothly. But there is no Microsoft products on any computer I own. (Soon enough there won't be any Google products either; when I replace my phone eventually I will not have any American software in use.)

    @still@infosec.exchange it's really cute when someone like this is now excitedly talking about it with you because they know you're into tech things and they're excited to share that they finally a tech thing on their own!
