Oh yes

No because there is very little to troubleshoot and it's always a matter of clicking next a few times

I used to be able to fix most issues from 7 back

7 was the last acceptable Windows

After that micro has made it less end user friendly for tech fixes

If you ever do decide to give Linux another shot in the future, worry less about the distro and more about the desktop environment. That's what's responsible for the user interface and other UX stuff, and it is *not* tied to the distro in most cases

I havent fucked with linux in a long time

Debated it again. Cause 10 is insufferable

KDE is incredibly nice now

It used to be one of my least favorite DEs, now it's my favorite by far. The dev team must have been assassinated and replaced or something

The only fear with linux atm is the possible pull out.

It won't happen

@radeon it would verify whether its software fuckery or broken hardware <:what:382980756139409409>

windows elitism doesn't help you fix your pc lad

They'll blow smoke and virtue signal, but it will never happen. Linux has a ton of corporate backing, and they simply will not tolerate any fuckery of that variety

Apocalyptic scenario is that they try to take the project full SJW and Red Hat forks it

I'm doing a BIOS update now

It's not elitism it's personal experience I've gotten far fewer headaches from windows than I have linux

That's fair enough

I will say that a lot has changed in the past 4 years in terms of usability. Granted, a lot of it depends on what you're using it for

In Windows it's just download checkbox next next install done

Hmm

Easy

Not sure if a BIOS update will help your issue, but it can't hurt

No code language or repositories required

I think it might be fast boot fucking with something

In Linux I just do one command and every program on my system is automatically updated. Repository autism is retarded, that's why I just go for something Arch-based and use the AUR

And that is entirely possible

it is elitism when you refuse to even consider booting just to verify if your hardware is fucked

I bought Forza horizon 4

ID RATHER NOT KNOW IF IT MEANS NOT USING LINUX

gj

I don't have the drive space for a partition

boot a fucking live cd you turnip

And what exactly would Linux booting tell me?

That's not a bad idea actually, if you have a spare USB stick you can try booting a live distro to see if it's your hardware that's fucking with you

it would tell you if your machine is taking a fucking age because of bad hardware or a bad windows install

Any OS would work in that case, but Linux is free and all

So is windows if you know where to look

fuck me

Well, easy to make a live version of
