I don’t think it’s an equivalent comparison. If you judge McDonald’s for their nutrition value, I’m sure all will agree they are crap and this is something that is objective and scientific.

There are people though that say they like McDonald’s and buy their food, and people that don’t like it and stay away. This is the subjective part. Musical taste is like your taste in McDonald’s. Some like McDonald’s, some like Mikki Minaj, for their own whatever reason. And it’s fine that they like it. It is their taste. It doesnt have to have artistic merit for them to like it, similar to how McDonald’s doesn’t have to have nutritious value for them to like it.

I guess that could be in theory, but I would assume that would just lead to a visit in his home rather than a ban of his account.

Probably said something bad about their current dictator.

Nah, music is subjective. I’m sure your music is dogshit to him as well.

I dunno, 770 bucks for whatever performance is too expensive. I wouldn’t call it good value. I wouldn’t spend more than, like, 400, but call me old and grumpy. Is it going to offer me twice as good a user experience than what I have today? No.

I can spend the difference in better ways. I don’t care about graphics as much anyway, I want a good game and for it to be playable.

For example, I’d much prefer to get a 400 card and a 3d printer or a drone or a bike or something else, than a 800 card only.

What if you cannot afford the [nice thing] normally otherwise?

Well I’d put up with an ad-driven free version of a Nissan GTR or so. Easily. But not if I paid for it properly.

Must have had bad luck! I mean I’ve fixed many a Linux computer in my time so I know it’s not perfect, but I guess my expertise helps me avoid a lot of the pitfalls of Linux by generally reading the fucking manual and understanding what I’m doing.

Windows though will break and also install bullshit updates and reset your settings when you do everything right, and that’s what gets me every time.

You know, you can have the same options in both systems. One has the default behaviour A, the other has the default behaviour B. You prefer A. I prefer B.

How is one of them better?

Then you replace that buttplug with a unique buttplug.

Rare buttplugs with good affixes are better than unique buttplugs.

My 10+ year arch installation is certainly more reliable than my prior windows installation that would randomly decide that the registry is borked and won’t boot at all, for no apparent reason.

Why is automounting at boot without credentials a necessity and intuitive for you. No, I would expect it to mount exactly once and to require me to input username and password before I mount my porn collection so that my sister does not see it.

I don’t get why you claim that windows does this correctly and Linux does not. It would be the opposite for me.

Besides, the important point in this example is to actually mount the folder to do your job. In your example, both systems do this equally well with an equally well UI, before your automounting nonsense.

Nah, arch wiki and forums are good, btw.

You can start steam offline, what is the issue?

Indeed, but don’t underestimate my laziness.

But yeah, sometimes I just compile from source, if needed.

There is no software that is not in AUR. I use arch, BTW.
