It's funny how divided the fanbase got over TLJ, but then pretty much united over ROS being crap. I think it in large part boils down to some people not putting it together that a big part of why RoS was so bad was because TLJ burned down to the ground all the set up that TFA did and thus the 3rd movie in the trilogy didn't really have anything to work with. --- The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist. |

It still is for a gaming desktop. Not because of games, but everything around them. Decades of mod managers, save editors, trainers, cheat engines, etc., basically every tool used to customize games in any way, is Windows only, and I cant be arsed to set up WINE bottles manually until Proton can do all that for me, which it probably never will. Not to mention, even when you do go through that hassle, there are examples where the experience is very buggy. For modding, at least games that officially support modding, Linux tends to not have much issue and support is always improving. Admittedly I didn't consider trainers or cheat engine, I'm certainly not aware of any equivalent on Linux for those. I also don't have much experience with ripping discs so I'll have to take your word for that. --- The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist. |

Yes and as I said it's something we shouldn't have to do. The correct solution Microsoft should have enacted was making customizing the context menu easier rather than their "solution" of making us have to do more clicks. It's just poor design. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] And you ignore the fact that nobody wants to be paying for security updates, let alone a payment that each year will cost more and more. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Unless you're advocating piracy this solution requires you to have the Enterprise version of Windows 10 doesn't it? So that's what?

Never had a problem but I have heard it bricked some systems. Until recently Windows 11 had an update that completely broke VPNs and it took about a month to fix it. If I was using Windows instead of Ubuntu on my work laptop I might have had to go through the headache of rolling back an update in order to do my job. Microsoft has a bit of a history (and it's worse than ever with Windows 11) for pushing out updates that have not been properly tested. I know that's not totally a Windows 11 problem in itself but it is a problem that Windows 11 is experiencing probably too often. Microsoft needs to improve their QA. --- The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist. |

Certain software you install will add it's own options to the context menu without giving you a choice on the matter. It's not hard to accumulate 25+ items on that menu if you use your PC for more than just gaming and web browsing.
