I love Arch, but it’s disingenuous to say that the install process is as easy as Install? Done.
I think that would be a fair argument if the meme was claiming it was low/zero effort, but it’s just about freedom so it flies
Yes installing Arch is as easy as counting to 10
The prompts to upgrade Office 365 every time my gaming PC updates really hurts after using a Linux machine all day
Linux installs have gotten so quick and painless over the past decade or so. Usually just following a GUI, waiting like 5 minutes for the install, and suddenly you’re booted into a fresh desktop.
Windows does this too where they just stop supporting older hardware. I find the worst part is that new versions of Windows/MacOS are largely just random bloat that nobody asked for.
indeed
That’s correct. Apple has near the same setting but it doesn’t belong into this meme, which is more like m$ vs. Linux
Apple is actually pretty nice with how MacOS gets installed. Macs themselves have a recovery thing if you want to reinstall. If I remember correctly it is hardcoded with a version that came out before the device was released, but can automatically detect and verify a newer installed version.
They get ya by tracking every last program you open, being hostile towards user choice, and charging you hundreds of dollars for $50 of storage.
Pop os implement rexocery partition too which u can use to reinstall all os
This is slightly different but that’s only because Apple has the monopolistic advantage of they made the device.
After you get decently experienced with Linux, you’re tempted to move to a “difficult-to-setup” distro for fun and more flexibility. Nothing wrong with normie distros, but these advanced distros are really good - you can strip down “bloat”, pick your own init system, your own login daemon as well as your own job scheduler.
