      Ironically people who “btw I use Arch” have been FREAKING OUT because their precious arch user repository got massively infected with infostealer malware, lol

      This was just this week

        precious arch user repository

        I think you vastly overestimate the importance of AUR. A lot of Arch users had to say something about the incident and many of them didn‘t even use it. It‘s definitely nothing essential.

        Also Arch users still don‘t give a fuck about Windows. This whole AUR debacle has little to do with what OP was actually getting at.

          Maybe so. I use cachy just for the record, so I’m not piling on with linux hate. I’m just enjoying the madness of it all. :)

            FYI, CachyOS is Arch based. It has access to the AUR. If you weren’t effected, that proves the point.

            The AUR is a repository of last resort. It’s useful, but you should be careful. That’s true even before this even. It’s a repository made by users, and is not verified.

      Idk how to tell you, but it’s AI that found the vulnerabilities created by humans in the first place… Of course they didn’t have to use AI to fix the discovered vulnerabilities, but it would’ve taken a lot longer and more than like still be riddled with bugs

        How is falling to show the name of a file in the recycle bin fixing a vulnerability?

    Yeah. My work machine now regularly black screens for up to 30 seconds then comes back. The Adobe Acrobat reader we are forced to use is now so bloated that it freezes the whole machine for up to a minute. What an OS.

      Lately whenever someone complains their C partition is full, it’s always unmistakably Adobe’s fault. Their shitty way of updating piles up crap in the Windows Installer folder. Uninstalling Adobe and cleaning up its garbage, no joke, frees up anywhere from 20 to 40 gigabytes of storage. Insane.

    I have to use cloud streaming for gaming, Shadow specifically (because it’s the only one that can do mods, emulation and (though not specifically allowed but you gotta be a real idiot to get caught) pirating). While you can run it on most things (Linux and Android for me) the cloud computer is only Windows, and while I absolutely do not want to give any props or positive anything to Microsoft, I’ve had none of the issues with Win11 that have been reported throughout the years. This means nothing, obviously, as it’s only a subjective experience and these things wouldn’t be reported if they weren’t real problems. I’ve just been surprised over and over that I’ve had absolutely no sign of anything I’ve seen so much about. No matter my experience though, fuck microslop.
