Yeah, I might be quite thoroughly put out with Microsoft's bullshit this last few major OSes, but this title misses the mark.
MICROSOFT SHOVES UPDATES DOWN USERS THROATS, ONLOOKERS HORRIFIED AND REFUSING TO BOOT THEIR DEVICES AND SLAMMING THE COMPANY ON (social network)
USERS REFUSE UPDATE USING THIS ONE WEIRD TRICK, MICROSOFT HATES THEM
Not on my PC 😎
I never thought I'd say this but I'm also on Fedora. It turns out that it's the perfect distro for me, as it is one of only 3 distros to contain all the packages I need, the other 2 being Arch and NixOS, but Arch is rolling release (I don't like rolling cuz I forget to update for weeks and things break) and NixOS is immutable (Sometimes I need to compile from source for my uni work) and I've been having issues with SDDM on NixOS (even if I rolled back, the issue would reappear on the next rebuild), so Fedora it is. It just works once set up, the only downside is that to get all the packages I need, I had to get a TON of copr repos, so I need to document my install process.
