It basically means 'I don't want to spoil something that you like'

Yes and no. There are the type of people who will go 'Aaarghh! I can't open my Microsoft Edge through Microsoft Cortana to use Microsoft Bing! Linux sucks!!!1!!', but there are also things in Linux that are frustrating.

The biggest annoyance to me is how small the border around windows is. On Windows, I can grab anywhere around the edge of a window and resize it, including in both directions from the corners. In Linux, I need an electron microscope to find the edges, and the hand of god to find a corner.

If I want to paste something in Windows, it's ctrl v. If I want to paste in Linux, it's ctrl v. Unless it's the terminal, which is shift, ctrl v. Or edge cases where it's shift and insert.

They don't tend to be major problems, but they break your workflow, and that makes them feel a lot worse.

This exact thing actually was user error. I mean, I like my people Linus, Luke, Emily and the others like every other average tech person... But when Steam is the absolute first thing you go for after installing your OS, then, sorry, but then you have only yourself to blame.

Your exact words, taken from your post. You literally said that he has only himself to blame.

102 so far. It's mostly porn and the creepy hentai and furry stuff, some of the foreign language communities that get through the filters, and things like different sports, that I'm never going to be interested in.

As other people have said, I want to be able to browse through All to discover new content, but there's no point in seeing things that I'm never going to like.

this is not automatic, all my toothbrush stuff is set up as a visual cue any time I'm near the sink

I can't even do that. If I leave my toothbrush in the same place, it becomes part of the background and I don't really notice it.

Brains are weird.

Imagine buying a book only to find out that you can't read it anymore because the store you bought it from decided to remove it from sale and stop all downloads of it. You can't restore it from a backup because the DRM prevents that.

I spent an hour last night adding new distros to my Ventoy drive. It's so much easier than anything else I've tried :)

Depending on what you want to use it for, you may be able to set it to another location in your country. I'm in the UK, and setting mine to London or Edinburgh gets around a lot of location blocks for some reason.

In the mid to late 90s and the early 2000s. PC gaming magazines and PlayStation magazines used to give away demo discs for you to trial new games.

Even they aren't as bad as the sites that ask for feedback as soon as they open >.<

Ass is very rarely used to mean the body part in the UK

The cube? Not wobbly windows, or the fire screensaver? I guess it takes all sorts... ;)
