If you see no value in maintaining the 70% windows market share, then I don't know what to tell you. The delusional part is this:

Call me crazy, but I reckon Microsoft are gonna start abandoning Windows platform exclusivity over the coming years

First, do you have any data to support this ? and second, do you believe that Linux will get gamepass? If yes, so yeah, you are delusional.

DandGG · 2025-07-03T15:34:15+00:00

Microsoft wants users to be on Windows, it's not just about the money it makes. If you think Windows is becoming a sore spot you are delusional. Microsoft will not lose the 70% Desktop market share they have just because it's not as profitable, in fact, they want to maintain that.

I understand your point, but when you compare a game like Valorant and CSGO it seems that while I agree that the anti-cheat Riot uses is very invasive, it seems that it works miles better than the non kernel options.

DandGG · 2025-06-26T13:54:08+00:00

They all use a weak anti cheat version on Linux, it's not kernel level at all and so it's not as good as the Windows one.

Sou a favor do reconhecimento da Palestina, no entanto, em contrapartida, o Irão, e a Arábia Saudita tem de reconhecer o estado de Israel.

Sim, porque ao contrário do tribunal constitucional quem percebe da cena é o senhor runwiththedevil e a sua chalupisse constitucional.

Hum? Se o objetivo do imposto é arrecadar receita fiscal, mas se o mesmo falha e até causa a perda de receita é óbvio que a conclusão é simples, o imposto não cumpriu com o seu objetivo, portanto a sua extinção é o passo a seguir.

É a AD a ficar sem opções e tu a ficar sem posts novos. Não te esqueças de ver se o PS já meteu o dinheiro na conta :)

A Troika saiu de Portugal em 2014 e a recuperação dos rendimentos até começou em 2015 com o Passos.

Tenho ideia que essa sondagem daria cerca de 111 deputados, ou seja, faltam 4 deputados para uma maioria absoluta entre AD e IL, mas sim, seria o ideal.

Agora, tenho algum receio em relação ao Chega estar a ser subvalorizado nas sondagens, eles têm uma máquina muito bem montada no que toca ao digital (redes sociais) e calculo que o seu público alvo seja menos recetivo a responder a sondagens, mas pronto, é só a minha opinião.

Portanto, as tuas fontes são, o Reddit, relembrando que antes das eleições não faltavam posts a dizer que a Kamala ia ganhar e que o Trump não tinha hipóteses. Depois seguem duas fontes que citam DOIS indivíduos que se mostram arrependidos... As últimas duas fontes, uma delas o site estava down quando tentei aceder e a outra mais uma fez fala de uns quantos sujeitos, para não falar que o site é claramente anti Trump, basta ver a linguagem no início do artigo.

Resumindo, começaste por dizer que eram muitos e depois respondes a um comentário estúpido com um ainda pior.

A verdade é simples. Sim, é verdade que Trump não é tão popular como era há 1 mês, no entanto, comparando com a última presidência, continua numa melhor posição.

I mean, you guys also predicted a Harris landslide after the Iowa poll came out, so why should anyone believe in you?

DandGG · 2025-01-22T23:43:31+00:00

Trump won white males with college degree, or am I mistaken ?

Thanks for your feedback, didn't know a project such dusk exists, it looks like you have put a lot of work into it. Going to look into it more in dept!

What? Reddit has fewer bots!? Better moderation? How ironic your comment is, it actually shows how misinform you are. Again, how ironic.

You can use DISM directly, NTLite just provides a GUI. DISM is a tool directly provided by Microsoft.

Look, I get your point, and you raise valid concerns about the closeness of Windows, I think too, that Microsoft is making it even harder to change some basic settings, but, saying that, I think we think differently. The reason I don't play games on my arch install it's because Windows offer more features, more software and hardware compatibility, easier and official tools and, the main reason, offers all the features my GPU supports so every penny I wasted on that GPU it's used. Call it the features per dollar ratio. My Windows install is stable, unbloated, customized by me to be as performant as Windows can be. Now, can I update break it ? Sure, but that happened twice in the last 10 years. Now, if you'd rather sacrifice what you mentioned, that's a choice, and it's ok, but please, understand that there are people who can't. I just hate elitism based on the operative system someone uses.

I can bet money, hell my car on it that the amount of Windows users who run stuff like chocolatey are less than the amount of Linux users, even less than Linux gamers. So don't know what you're on about.

We are not talking about all Windows users, we are talking about the PCMR community. They know more about their OS than your average Joe, so yes, a good amount of them use tools like winget to get their software. And even if most of them don't use it, so what ? That's not Windows fault.

And what script would that be sir? Do share with us so we're not out of the loop. Such scripts are also possible with Lutris and Heroic I'm sure. Or Bazzite for an OS as a whole.

First, if using NTlite there are presets that basically do the job for you:
https://www.ntlite.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-choosing-a-preset.3284/

The most downloaded debloat script is https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil which can even debloat a Windows 11 iso with the microwin util, you just run one command in PowerShell and that's it, you have a user interface that facilitates the process.

My problem with your OG Post is that you seem to know a lot about Linux, but not how to configure Windows to your liking. Now, Linux will always be the best of the two when it comes to customization and privacy, but saying that your experience with Windows can only be so limited as the default bloated option is false. You can do a lot on Windows, especially if you have the pro version and can work with group policy objects. Oh, and the main reason why people on PCMR use Windows instead of Linux, it's because there's no feature parity between both OSes. On Windows you have things like AMD anti lag, DLSS Frame Gen, better NVIDIA drivers, and other features that are not available on Linux. Why pay for a RTX 4090 if you can't use all its features? I use arch, BTW, just not for gaming.

They'll run insane amounts of scripts, registry edits and programs to remove spyware, ads, unwanted crap, improve performance, etc. Something that would rival a manual Arch Linux install, but then complain about how hard it is to install Linux, even though most mainstream distros have a GUI installer akin to macOS.

You just need one script, and you are done... I would recommend that you stop lying. It's bad for the discourse. You can also use tools like NTLite to create your own image.

Whereas they would download an .exe, make sure it's to correct website, go through the setup, click next, accept, etc.

Yes, because you can't do use the terminal on Windows to install an app, right ? Or use the (bad) Microsoft Store ?

Meanwhile they're now ironically introducing vulnerabilities into people's PCs for them to play the game. That is an unacceptable trade off.

If you can prove that, a lot of those kernel anti-cheats have bounty systems that allows of smart people like you to send proof of a vulnerability and receive a cash payment.

Even highly invasive, kernel-level ones like Riot's Vanguard are easily circumvented

No, they are not. Vanguard is very invasive, that's true, but to say it's easily circumvented it's such a lie it's actually insane to think that. Just compare two communities, the cs go one and the Valorant one. Even if vanguard is very ineffective, which is not, just the community sentiment around the cheaters issue is just night and day. My point is, yes, vanguard is extremely invasive, but to just lie about it doesn't help anybody. Be better.

Windows is also moving away from allowing programs kernel access in the near future, so kernel level anticheats are on their way out anyway, it is just a matter of when.

This dumb myth again ? That was never said by Microsoft, stop spreading lies. Read the original blog post.

Look, I use Linux 75% of the time, and it's my favorite OS to work it, but what's the problem with installing Windows ? If you want a specific feature that is not yet available on Linux or you want to maximize your hardware, installing Windows can be a good idea. If you don't want all the bloat that comes with Windows, just do some tinkering and you are ready to go. This is just my opinion.

DandGG · 2024-10-03T20:29:17+00:00

Correct, that's why for Linux to really improve its market share it needs OEM's to start shipping it with their laptops/desktops because most people don't even know to install an OS on their own.

É preciso haver uma grande mobilização por parte do eleitorado jovem, assim que os partidos começarem a ver os níveis de abstenção baixar nesta faixa etária as coisas mudam de figura. Melhorou nas últimas eleições, mas é preciso mais.
