Consent doesnt mean agree in this context tho. And it is debatable whether using is consenting. Do I consent to all the shady shit Microsoft was pulling when I install windows? (Looking at the number of debloaters and their received support from community, that seems like a no)
This, want it or not, it is not hard for boys to feel incredibly alienated in the left hemisphere. We gone from “girls have issues too” to “only girls can have issues”. It’s ridiculous, and even more ridiculous when you remember that girls reach their growth spurt sooner than boys, effectively eliminating many of the purported advantages of boys over girl, making them feel even more alienated.
And yet it seems to me only GNOME has this problem, and it has been there since Torvalds still publicly executing everyone in mailing list. XFCE, LXQT, hell, even KDE only has minimal complain about unexpected behavior. It seems to me that in a concerted effort to predict as much user behavior as possible, GNOME created this non existent “average user” that conforms to no one, and created this mess on their own.
Also, we are mostly against nonconsensual, non-explicit, or opt-out type of feedback. As far as I concern, efforts to point out to GNOME devs their faults are many to the point its a meme. It is also, not unrelatedly, a meme that GNOME denies these complaints because “the average users wouldn’t get it”) . I think it should be clear enough by now.
Actual winblows
It’s funny how people think both this and states 4chan has always been rightwing since 2000s. The truth is your political bias says nothing about your intelligence. Stating otherwise just looks like boosting one’s ego to me.
Also the reason you don’t see right wing opinions on Lemmy is probably by and large because the right wing instances are being defederated by larger left-leaning Lemmy instances. Not saying if thats wrong, but that’s just how it is.
I use a windows VM with OVMF passthrough. For maximum convenience, I reused my old rx 580 as windowsbox dedicated passthrough gpu, with 8gb of RAM.
It works like a charm. Anything on Linux that can’t be run smoothly, VM solves it, at the convenience juat starting the VM when I need it, then close and go on with my day. I also use tiling WM so I can assign the VM to its own workspace, fullscreen and everything, so theres very little friction.
Encourage anyone that is in this situation to try it out, for from what i’ve seen, the problem is more of compatibility niche problems than actually something inherently wrong with Linux.
