Interesting, thank you for the detail.

Outside of junk pre-installed, isn’t it also just a longer extended windows update? Meaning you’d eventually get the updates regardless?

Myself, because I’m stupid with coding.

MPC-HC + Madvr is a lot nicer, VLC for mixed other videos though.

Rustdesk vouch.

They all use Bing’s, idk how i feel about that fact actually. Curious what you others use. Just as a thought experiment.

Been an avid ddg user but hate how it sometimes does push this micropoop nonsenses. Like msn news

That’s what I said - the right key wording. It’s pretty strict, whereas Google’s results sometimes are a tiny bit more loose understanding of what you roughly mean. Though not always, and on Google I found myself often just adding “Reddit” for specifics. Though really really depends on what you search.

For me DDG offers a lot more than just search results, the bangs and features like I added a script to directly port my questions to some AI is really useful.

Personally really like ddg over it though. Only gotta be more precise with keywording for finding what you need.

How about not having these arbitrary not needed restrictions in the first place? This is just the usual scummy behavior from this company.

Just more in the neighborhood of being used or understanding something because it has been given to them from a very young age on. So getting familiar and used to it very young age on makes it “friendly” even though it is more “familiarity”.

Linux is always going to be really awkward at first but over the course of time you learn and shy away and develop your own kinda workflow and that’s the beauty of it in my opinion.

Never existed to begin with

Pretty awesome experience; if you’re new to Arch and Linux are both great ways combined to learn about it. It did break on me but nothing super problematic.

If you don’t auto update or update weekly you’ll have a pretty fine experience.

I picked it to enforce me to learn the way of Linux and or Arch specific since the aur and wiki are pretty nice.

Though do come from relative mild Linux experience and a great Windows knowledge from my job as sysadmin.

Do wanna see how I could incorporate more Linux into my environment for tasks.
