you can set symlinks up, but true not internally (yet), but it's coming in the next update. And which tools "simply do not work in windows"?

yeah, it's odd that there is a new UWP Settings app, and the old control panel - but it isn't that difficult to find. I mean, since you're surfing YC I'm assuming you're tech savvy - is Windows that hard for you to

I found eOS to be the WORST distro I have tried in years. It's more limited than macOS, and only half as stable. It only gets attention because it tries to hard to be the most aesthetically pleasing Linux distro ever, I applaud their e

Win8 was a disaster. Win10 is what 8 should have been. It's fast, stable and reliable.

Most devs simply hate Windows, no matter how much better value Windows hardware gives you. I used to hate Microsoft in every sense years ago, but not anymore. Win10 is a great OS, I don't understand why more people just don't give

there is, the XPS has the best Linux support on a high end laptop, maybe ever. But don't confuse driver support for overall experience. Linux DEs, to me, are a complete waste of my time. I need my machine to work in an instant, EVERY T

As a Mac user of 9 years, I sold my 2015 rMBP and eventually built my own rig and went the hackintosh route. But it wasn't worth it, sound would drop after each update, I had some weird visual glitch near the Apple menu logo, there sti

It's just so much work getting Linux to work on the desktop. The hatred and bios against Windows 10 is baffling. It's fast, stable, secure and reliable. I've been running it for 6 months and never had an issue. I run Linux VM

I agree, PIA is fantastic, been using it for years. Works great on mobile, I use it on my Android phone and iPhone.

It's nice to see GV isn't dead (yet), but unless I can make it my default SMS app it's pointless - so I am keeping my GV number integrated into hangouts.

Cool? Absolutely. Time consuming? Probably. Worth it? Well....

"Windows having forced updates you can't schedule" Are people that inept at using Windows? I'm not trolling you, I'm serious. In Windows 10 I configured my active hours and set a scheduled reboot time if necessary,

This is a joke, right? If this is the "ultimate" Linux desktop then Desktop Linux has already died. I get what the author is trying to do, but it (along with WMs like i3) to me feels like we regressed 25 years of desktop computing

How exactly has Linux been improving??

I agree with you 100%. All these Mac users leaving for Linux will eventually realize how much work is involved in keeping a Linux system running. I was the opposite, I left OS X after nearly a decade (used Linux prior) and I hate Linux more

I was excited when MSFT announced WSL, I immediately started digging into it when I received the AU last summer. What killed it for me was being unable to edit the same files between WSL and Windows - I'm a CLI guy but I do like the oc

I was a Windows user from 1993-1998, then when Win98 was released my new custom PC would lock up every 90 seconds, so I bought a 6" Linux bible and learned enough to get a Linux machine up and running. Then XP came out, it was better,

I've used Elementary exclusively for a month. I found it lacking many built in tools and utilities, and the UI an OSX ripoff and also rather stripped down and limited.

So you're bashing Microsoft for offering a cross platform solution on a Google account reliant device such as Android? Then why did you install Word? If you didn't want to "jump through hoops" then why not just use Googl

by dcdevito 10y ago
I agree about Apple - but Google? I'd say their situation is the opposite - their software is too simple.

Sorry Google but my trust in cloud solutions reside in AWS and Azure. Why? Because when Amazon and Microsoft announce something I know there's a good chance it will still exist 24 months later

Linux has changed my life for sure, like others who have commented here. I just wish there was a bit more commercial support for a true polished, seamless desktop Linux experience (and more OEMs selling machines with it preinstalled). Googl
