That is true, definitely not an OS exclusive problem!

That's the go-getter attitude any paramilitary organisation appreciates!

Fresh out of pamphlets, sorry.

Ri-i-ight. Now tell us about the significance of his knit sweater.

Not fake, just ~4 years old spoilers. Also, there's a twist after that.

Bearded guy here; we never tire of that kind of comment. Please, keep it coming.

I agree that the tone of their articles helps push the quality above some other tech blogs. At the very least they're sincere!

Windows is no longer an option for me either — I had made a conscious effort to use FLOSS apps even before switching, so there wasn't much holding me back. And, as you say, once I'd started modifying system settings to disable Microsoft telemetry, I was already at Linux tinkerer levels...

Technologies like Electron make it easier for app availability: Controversial opinion but True

I do agree, but currently Electron is great for apps the way Flash was considered great for the web. It solves one problem, but creates a bunch more.

In itself, Electron is pretty bloated*, but I don't dare check how many versions I have installed because different apps have stuck with older ones. I'd really like to see a less resource consuming, backward compatible alternative to Electron.

* From my thrifty perspective of keeping older hardware alive with Linux, that is. On your high grade, best-of-class gaming rig, mileage will definitely vary.

Like most articles on itsfoss, this one is only a notch over clickbait — a kernel of an idea not fully developed, written with the last minute energy of a student who pushed off the assignment until right before deadline — but I'll be damned if that title isn't beautifully turned.

I haven't had to have Windows installed for more than a decade, but on recent occasion I've borrowed Windows and Mac computers for work. Those revisits didn't give me reason to switch back, only to long for my lean Arch install.

As the next major version of Windows approaches like a Santa down the chimney with all sorts of "AI"-infested gadgets in his sack, I do hope more will make the more often mentioned switch to a Linux distro from the ~~advertising platform~~ OS that came with their computer.

But this headline deliciously reminds us that there is already a good chunk of users who made the jump, or are sitting on the dual booting fence, one boot (sorry!) on either side. This article is for them, yes, but also a gentle nudge for those still gathering courage.

At this stage, it is time to seriously change the perspective of that switch. The single reason for switching from Windows to Linux is ... the utter state of Windows. Only the most blinkered of tech journos can continue to pretend that all is well on Windows, and not at all a sophisticated malware infection.

So bravo itsfoss for the clever barb, less so for the depth of the article itself.

Ooh, that is salty! Will give it a try next time the family isn't around to turn up their noses at my kitchen experiments.

Yeah, Nutella... I think it was the banana+pizza search query that sent me into crêpe-adjacent dessert territory.

I'm genuinely curious, can't find many banana pizza recipes that aren't smeared with nutella as well. I assume this is a white pizza base since you mention mascarpone? Then banana topping with a sprinkle of grated hard cheese?

Oh absolutely! That's pretty much a 400 year bracket starting with Disco s1 (2257 CE). Plenty of opportunity for Mirror Universe shenanigans even beyond the Picard years.
