Gpedit: registry keys come and go, group policy is forever

I prefer to believe aliens are better than that

Doesn’t change that we don’t know what thought is

You’re right, I didn’t do anything resembling what you asked me to do! Would you like me to do the same thing again?

You’re a machine. Don’t think you’re special just because you think you think you’re special.

Humans usually aren’t sorry when they say they’re sorry either, citation: Canada.

So you don’t have a concrete example? That’s fine, but people having vibes about what’s going on at any given moment without being able to find a concrete example is literally how maga happened.

Not worth the fight… people here will call even usage based telemetry (how many times did this feature get used) spyware.

Ok but what is the specific comparison? Russia is to banning LGBTQ games as the us is to banning ___ games?

I mean, yeah, but what is the one of a billion things venilia is talking about was my question

So they switched because they have control and access over both OSs?

So it’s just the fear of vengeance that stops you from robbing, raping, and murdering?

Punishment as a deterrent? Lol what human race are you thinking of.

If you’re not looking to do much you might be better off with one of the immutable variants (silver blue, aurora, bazzite). The upside is things are not supposed to break too much. The downside is if it breaks almost any existing instructions on the internet prior to maybe 2022 will fuck the system up more. Tbh Linux changes so fast that’s true for most variants, but you can reach back to maybe 2018 before you start to hit system-breaking legacy instructions.

Mint isn’t a good choice, but if you want a generally straightforward system that looks like Mac (gnome) or windows (KDE) then fedora is a good choice.

None of these options will be as secure by default as a Mac or windows machine – you will have to do a lot of learning and be generally technically inclined to get there. The immutable OSs will give you a small leg up there, just because you’re running less random shit from the internet as admin/root, but the Linux community hates Intel and Microsoft so much it’s taken a lonnnngggg time to adopt standard security techniques, mostly resting on their laurels from decades past. Will you get viruses? Probably not. But just because nobody broke in doesn’t mean leaving your door unlocked is secure.
