Ah right

I bet there’s still a lot of stuff coded in that era that is still used in windows 11, like the drive format dialog or some icon resources

If you don’t join a domain, win11 pro will automatically install all the sponsored stuff exactly like win11 home at first login. There’s no difference in the two editions except only the pro can join a domain. Exactly same level of bloat, even if it’s more expensive

I wonder how many would just do it for the extra discount and then use massgrave

Edit:

I went to watch their prices for the diy series

• Win 11 home is +145€
• Win 11 pro is +259€
• Ubuntu is free

(Preinstalled, is +220 € for win 11 pro or free Ubuntu, can’t get win home edition if preinstalled)

It’s very unlikely that those printers can support the new “universal print” standard (mopria, 2013)

At most can put them as generic printer text only which is worse

On the plus side, for example, there are thousands of printers and scanners where the manufacturer never released a 64bit windows driver even if some of them were sold during the vista 64 bit era or even windows 7.

In that case Linux it’s the only way to make them work on a modern computer (unless supported by paid third party drivers like vuescan or printfab)

And that some programs are extremely opinionated.

Ignoring requests with thousands of posts, or even pull requests where the changes are already implemented

“No. I won’t add tabs, it’s better UX to have separate windows”

“No, I won’t allow the user to save the password, even if it’s local or not important”

“All the temporary shit will be saved on the hardcoded directory ~/.fuckyou and not /tmp”

This stuff unfortunately depends by the desktop environment and because there are hundreds of them, it’s inconsistent.

On gnome it remembers it correctly, although there are a handful of times where the gamepad doesn’t connect automatically and I have to manually do that

Wow this is the exact perfect example of why someone should install from AUR as less as possible, manually checking the pkgbuild and not just “yay yolo”

In this case the archive seems to be clean and be what wd would send if contacted, (even Windows versions are in the zip)

Btw WTF WD. Why making a tool and its documentation only available on request?? It is nothing special, more or less do the same stuff that the GUI can do (show details, send erase command, send ATA password command).

It doesn’t seem to be able to disable the activity LED
