Fuck Microsoft.

And Apple,

And all other american tech companies who bent the knee to the big orange moron.

Install Linux. It's free and unlike windows, getting better every month.

I have 3 computers at home and 2 of them are Fedora. I still need a Windows box because Wines just don't work for the windows only apps.

Have you tried Bottles and/or WinBoat?

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

I tried bottles and it didn't work. I haven't tried Winboat.

I think Bottle is also pretty steep when it comes to installing. There are too many options that I'm not sure which ones would work.

I think I got it sorta working on the insta360 app and then the videos wouldn't load which defeats the purpose of the app.

I'm still running windows because it's still the most used OS, but one foot is out the door for me.

I also refuse to use Apple products.

Came to Linux about a year ago and couldn't really be happier. Will never use Windows again. Everything runs better, some things take a little work to get working but worth it in the end to avoid Microslop and I feel like I actually own my pc and not forced to do what Microshit forces. Also use GrapheneOS on my phone and its a blessing as well having no Google crap dependencies, etc.

And that little work it takes to make everything run as you want, diminishes every year as the system is updated.

[–] ItsNotImportant24@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

True, it keeps getting better and improved every day.

I agree. The bending of the knee is the real issue at hand. Yes windows has become a mess but following Trump's tune is unforgiveable.

This - and thank you.

I'm out of the loop, what happened that they bent knee?
