Who said Linux can’t be advertised? Behold: Linux, powered by GNU, with anti-viral formula Wipes Windows clean in seconds.
What’s that? Dont like this particular formula? Don’t fret, there are plenty of other types. And the best part: It’s free. But you can donate if you want to, it’s your choice.

Fun fact: Linux is the name of a German-Swiss washing detergent brand:
I dont know what to think anymore after i hear that 😐…
The Linux kernel is so handy, its mascot even has three arms.
haha, good one there!
I feel like people should contribute to market actually free/open source projects more. I think it’ll have a snowball effect, of more users, more donators/software contributers, and reach.
While more donations and contributors are always welcome, the thing open source projects really need to break through are project leaders and UX designers to polish the software to make it more appealing.
Blender has come a long way in recent years by concentrating on these. There are also excellent videos by Tantacrul about his work on Musescore and Audacity after he made a video about Musescore and they got in touch with him to fix the problems he brought up.
Well then ask why UI/UX people don’t tend to help out with open source projects. I assume those people are far less idealistic. Which is why I have little respect for them.
The real answer is that the techie nerds willing to learn git and contribute to open source projects are likely to be hobbyist programmers cutting their teeth on bugfixes/minor feature enhancements and not professional programmer-designers with an eye for UI and the ability to make it/talk with those who can. Also in open source projects its expected that the contributor be able to pull their own weight with getting shit done so you need to both know how to write your own code and learn how to work with specific UI formspecs. Delegating to other people is frowned upon because its all free voulenteer work so whatever you delegate ends up eating up someone elses free time and energy fixing up your pr.
It is also broken by Windows at every Windows update.
Only if you dual boot!
These days only the major ones. Like the H1/H2 updates. I agree there’s zero excuse for it in the EFI boot world. But, Microsoft gotta Microsoft.
Often you can just find the boot again in the bios and choose it. And that should be assured if you don’t put grub and windows in the same EFI partition.
Microsoft has always had his arrogant idea that the PC they’re installed on belongs to them and will just delete anything else they find in the way.
Why use something fragile like Windows?
I have it as a dual boot option. But, it’s not been booted since November. So I am assured I’ll need to rerun grub when I do decide I need to boot it for something I cannot do in either Linux, or a Windows VM in linux (that’s really a small number of things).
Best to keep windows on a separate drive if you can.
Well, mainly you just need to keep the EFI entirely separate. That’s generally all you need. That’s what windows will decide to wipe and reinstall. I just didn’t do it this time. I think because of how disks were already partitioned.
