Windows being a viper? Absofuckinglutely not, the viper being a way to powerful, analog and hands on car is the exact opposite of windows. Windows is more comparable to a modern, but badly build, electric car with all of the spyware and the features that comes with that.

The viper was a poorly made, uncomfortable, weird car with some stupid and inconvenient design choices. It was also not very reliable, used way too much fuel, and had serious safety issues. I think it's a perfect analogy for windows.
This is all true with the addition that the Viper looks fucking sick even with those issues. Windows just looks lame no matter what.
First edition vipers didn't even have door handles on the outside since the concept car on which it was ~~copy-pasted~~ based on didn't have them either
The only way that has any accuracy is if the Linux photo has a button that quite literally manages most of the other buttons for you, and the more complicated stuff exists really only if you want to do it manually.
You can get by just fine literally never touching any of those buttons day-to-day. But they're there for the people who want to get down in the mud with their operating system.
figures windows would have the steering wheel on the wrong side. it's all backwards.
Thatβs my phone choice. Lol can you imagine the amount of tasks needed to complete to accept/deny incoming/outgoing transactions..
My distaste for Apple products largely stems from their lack of video games. And price tags. And interface. And their users (except CGP Grey, I forgive him).
Games are ramping up as the hardware landscape flattens performance wise. Keep an eye on it.
They have built or are building the same tools Nvidia is for things like scaling and frame generation too. They have porting tools they never had in the past now, and they iterate on them every year.
No. MacOS is far more capable (there is a bit of bullshit with signing now though).
Chromebooks on the otherhand...

Jeepers. These comments. I agree with you. I love Linux, but, unless youβre lucky enough to have perfect hardware, Linux is still a bit hard to use. Mac and Windows are heading that way too. Macs require a Mac, and new Windows PCs have hardware requirements as well. Iβm on my third distro for one of my Linux PCs because of hardware issues. I love Linux, but sometimes itβs a pain.
I think I first saw this (or something close) on reddit in like 2010 which even then was dated. Really brings me back in a "that shit fucking sucked" way.
