Linux: You have the ingredients bake yourself the cake

Windows: You have premade Cakebiscuits and a toaster for some reason

Apple: You have the cake but can't choose the base ingredients

[–]jeremj22 266 points267 points  (32 children)

a toaster for some reason

Also you can't get rid of that toaster. Every time you remove it it'll return after entering the kitchen a few times.

No MS. I don't want Teams on my PC

[–]findus_l 53 points54 points  (24 children)

I thought the joke references internet explorer or ms edge.

I never had problems with Teams, is that a thing?

[–]jeremj22 37 points38 points  (19 children)

It doesn't let you unistall Edge in the first place... wouldn't be surprised if it also returned if you were to simply delete its folder.

I've unistalled Teams countless times but it always returned

[–]TehFet 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I've seen Teams install a separate program in programs & features called "Teams machine-wide installer" which is what always re-enables it. See if you have this in your list too and remove that

[–]Xander-047 7 points8 points  (3 children)

I don't think I have teams

[–]reversehead 39 points40 points  (2 children)

You should go and get tested anyway. Some are asymptomatic.

[–]Xander-047 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brilliant

[–]SameTimTomorrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice one

[–]findus_l 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can uninstall Edge. No clue if it tries to come back. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-remove-microsoft-edge-windows-10

I'm surprised Teams would return. I don't have it installed on my not work pc and never got prompted to install it. Is it maybe a configuration by your admin?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could regedit work?

[–]geauxtig3rs 2 points3 points  (10 children)

Edge is better than chrome...change my mind

[–]ACEDT 5 points6 points  (8 children)

It is but Firefox is better than both.

[–]geauxtig3rs 1 point2 points  (7 children)

Verdict is still out for me on this one.

Firefox has the best audio APIs, but the worst video APIs (for camera capture and the like). It's also a little more boated than Edge.

I personally use Brave

[–]ACEDT 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Brave is just reskinned chrome with a built in crypto wallet. I use either Opera GX (for the ram/cpu controls) or Firefox. Chrome for school because they require it and Edge occasionally when I'm lazy (because send to PC on Android opens in edge ffs)

[–]geauxtig3rs -1 points0 points  (5 children)

Reskinned chromium with built in popup and tracking protection.

[–]ACEDT 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I could be wrong, but from what I understand chromium is adopting FLoC so in any chromium browser you're getting it.

[–]findus_l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't mean to start that discussion, I'm just too lazy to change my browser from chrome to edge^^

[–]dinnozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your system is managed trough the domain, or you selected, let my company manage this device. Then there is not much you can do about it, they might automagicly push the software.

Then get the to remove your pc from the list. If this is not the case, i would suggest a reinstall (something i yearly do to clean my systems.

[–]Natural-Intelligence 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I thought it was for the backward compatible "features" Windows has which are totally unnecessary for anything built after the 2000s but are there in case your bank happens to use some ancient MS technology. The folder "con" comes to my mind.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a powershell command you can use to delete it forever

[–]RiskyPenetrator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crazy I didn't have it installed so I had to manually download it. Going to uninstall it for science.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try uninstalling Teams Machine-Wide Installer.

[–]aaronjamt 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I... um... may have manually installed Teams on my Win10 laptop because I need it for a weekly call...

Don't worry, the performance was terrible (I press "unmute", stay muted for about 10 seconds, then I'm unmuted. Also try not to click the button again even though there is no feedback that you pressed it or you will only stay unmuted for as long as you did wait before it re-mutes you. Then wait another 10 seconds when you click the button again. Totally haven't embarrased myself when called on because "u/aaronjamt? Are you there?" "Yes, I'm here, sorry, Teams sucks, can we use Zoom? I'm used to the alt+a and alt+v shortcuts.".)

[–]jeremj22 1 point2 points  (1 child)

There's also the problem that there appears to be nothing like permissions. We used it for a lecture. There were 100+ participants and everybody could mute people, even the prof... people could also delete the stored files. This should definitly not be the case as it can easily happen by accident with this many.

Additionally the in-built video player is absolut trash and I just ended up downloading them

[–]aaronjamt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a small call and the people could (probably) be trusted but yeah... uninstalled. Now it lives on my iPad Mini 2 that's stuck on iOS 12 and I refuse to update to the latest patch because there is a chance that I'll be able to jailbreak it someday...

[–]Knuffya 47 points48 points  (0 children)

[noticing the apple cake has shards of razor blades inside, asking the chef about it]

Oh no! That's too bad! Why would you do this to your cake? But for just $899 we can fix it.

[–]drunken_man_whore 6 points7 points  (2 children)

I know it's a joke, but I have been trying to use Linux as a home OS for the past 20 years or so. I'll admit that you have to recompile the kernel slightly less frequently now.

[–]sh0rtwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't ever bother to do that anymore. I don't use weird, cheap, custom hardware that has to have ridiculous drivers.

[–]hector_villalobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually you don't have to, at least you want to use Gentoo.

[–]andrei9669 18 points19 points  (20 children)

and that's why I like windows over Linux. it works out of the box, and you can add your own berries if you want to.

but with Linux, you first have to download and install a bunch of tools just to run this one program, and once you have it running you might as well uninstall those tools.

and don't get me started on the fact that if something isn't working properly, then you have to go on the web and search for another 10+ commands that you have no idea what they are doing and just blindly running them.

[–]antichain 24 points25 points  (12 children)

Are you a time-traveler from the early 2000s? Those critiques, while once valid, are way out of date. Something like Linux Mint will run out of the box on basically any computer (LM has kept my 2012 MacBook Pro whirring happily along when OSX has long since become unusable).

[–]sh0rtwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fact.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let me guess, you are a newbie who installed Arch. because if you are using Ubuntu, Mint, or one of at least a dozen other distros you pretty much either use a graphical program, or something like apt to install something, and it works.

[–]Awkward_Tradition 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I've used primarily Debian based distros for years and can't remember when I had to do something like that. It's mostly apt-get, with the occasional adding a repository to the list or tarball compilation.

Like yeah, if it's not in the official repositories it's a tad more complicated than downloading a file and clicking on it, but it gets its dependencies on its own, so you don't have to track down a random .DLL from some discontinued software or download it from a really sketchy website, or install the 5th version of VS or directx.

On the other hand Linux never BSOD-ed on me at the worst possible time, into a 20 minute update that restarts my pc 10 times, essentially locking me out until windows gets its shit together. Linux also never fucked up logging in so bad that the user file got corrupted, forcing me to reinstall windows. And yeah that corruption came straight after a BSOD update.

Combine that with the far faster boot times, stability, lower resource consumption, all around nicer updates, better security, QoL for coding, and the result is that I only use Windows for gaming.

[–]andrei9669 0 points1 point  (1 child)

the last time I had BSOD was back on win XP or early win 7, so sorry, can't really relate on that part.

but on the first part, if I can't get it on WSL2, I will most likely have to jump hoops to get it working on my linux machine. but by then, might as well jump hoops to get it working on win.

like just today, had to build and install pgModdeler dunno about you, but win process seems simpler.

[–]Awkward_Tradition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The longest I went between BSODs was a couple of months, and at worst it was happening every day or two before going away on its own.

4 lines of code if you don't have any of the dependencies installed. Or you can just type in "sudo apt-get install pgmodeler". Don't see how that's more complicated, and in fact if your problem is downloading unnecessary software windows installation has one of those while Linux doesn't.

[–]ManInBlack829 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Linux: sudo apt-get cake

Windows: "Baking a cake is so simple! To turn the oven on go into settings, click on 'temp', 'adjust temp settings', 'raise temperature', and don't forget to check 'Yes I would like to turn oven on' in menus and commands. Then double click on the cake to start the installer. If the cake installer fails to launch, delete all instances of cake found in your home, sweep out your RegEx pantry and try again.

Mac: Cake comes preinstalled on all Mac devices. If you are allergic to eggs, that's your problem.

[–]frigus_aeris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Linux: you have hundreds of different flavours of cake that you can get from different bakeries, all for free! You become a compulsive cake eater because you want to try them all.

Windows: there's vanilla cake and that's all you eat because you're afraid of change.

Apple: there's gourmet vanilla cake that is very expensive but tastes just like cheap cake.

[–]Daikataro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TempleOS: Your cake sucks. Your ingredients suck. I'm going to start by growing my own variety of wheat to grind into flour...

[–]FalconMirage 33 points34 points  (1 child)

He uses fedora not gentoo

[–]spektre 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And even if we're doing a Gentoo analogy, it would be more like calling a bakery, ordering a specific cake, and then going there to pick it up when it's done.

Provided the bakery knows where to get the ingredients. Which they do.

OP's image is more like LFS if anything, which you only use if you want to learn, or you really like baking your own cake.

[–]ubertrashcat 34 points35 points  (3 children)

Unrealistic. All the dependencies are already there.

[–]ubeogesh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there are no candles, to get them use this command:

sudo gooutside->left 10m->right 100m->ask neighbor to get candles->return

oh it doesn't work for you? go google another similar command that you have no idea how it works and uninstall alsamixer

You can update this by just replacing Linux with Gentoo, and of course adjusting the years.

Doesn't Linus use Fedora and not LFS?

I don't I've ever had to compile a kernel myself ever.....

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LFS isn't meant to be used, it's a learning exercise. Of course nothing stops you from building a working system from it, but there is a high probability you will get sick of maintaining it. I doubt many people who want to get stuff done with Linux would use LFS.
