I have had issues when it was copied from an old hard drive where the files were downloaded by another account name. Windows knows the account IDs don’t match so your permissions are limited. If you don’t like command line you can often go into properties , security, advanced, then use take ownership option, or select user name and check the full control option

Was it copied from an old hard drive?

I assume they mean private equity vs privately owned. Private equity would mean you have to bow to your investor since they are paying you. Privately owners make their own decisions without needing to answer to an investor

Chrome/google is a monopoly because they actually pay to keep Firefox and apple Browsers running. Firefoxes major funder is google. This is so Google can claim they aren’t a monopoly.

Gog is the games store most people use if they don’t want steam. https://www.gog.com/en/games

Steam isnt a single seller though. There is GOG, there is Microsoft store, and other wasys to purchase games.

Typical windows troll, doesn’t like the truth.

Its running uneccessary stuff for my user, like telemetry, and other preinstalled MS nonsense ai.exe, etc.

And it definetly wasn’t building indexes. LOL. I have excel installed, if I type excel in the search with app filter it can’t find it.

Also I shared a drive between windows and Linux before. Linux GNOME indexing finds stuff instantly, Windows indexed search still takes forever looking for data.

Those are all terrible suggestions lol.

Yeah Linux users can be like overzealous sport parents.

Side note if you do run into hardware issues that is not as simple as installing a package, my suggestion is try another distro. And I have had zealous users get mad at this, but I went through the same situation. I have a 2010 laptop it would not run any Debian based distro or offshoots, and I tried 8-10. They all fail during install with error, or install then and fail to boot with bios/hardware bug. So I tried Fedora and OpenSuSE and those had no problems (rpm based). So whatever was in Debian mainline and trickle down could not deal with the bug. But Fedora and SUSE gave a warning of “BIOS bug, working around it” and boot fine. Oddly enough NixOS works also.

When I described this before, I did have a slew of people saying “you just don’t know what your doing”, or " Debian isn’t the issue here". Lol. Clearly I know enough to attempt 12 or more Linux installs, and having no Debian distros work does mean Debian is the issue.

People.

Are you using the CLI importer tool?

I found the WebEx Team app was really good.

Mac has CLI but newer versions they kind of made it hard to navigate to

I think its more that you stated the obvious. Like saying 100% of Linux Appimages run on Linux. The reason to move from Windows, or one of them, is MS using telemetry and screen capture and other bloat that ruins the gamiglng experience due to processing power needed, you move that to a Linux machine and there’s no background garbage running.

For example my machine had dual boot, at idle windows was using 6% of processing power to do nothing. On Linux it was 0 to .5% to idle.

With windows updates I have to delete Ai.exe and Ai.DLL from the office folders or randomly ai starts hogging resources even if I have no office apps in use. Just a terrible user experience.

Since Windows users will email photos to themselves to put it on another computer, instead of clicking share folder, I’d say you are correct on complacency and minimum effort.

I mean in a way the community tries to help the person realize they are suffering unnecessary pain by a mega corp, just its usually the wrong approach or a toxic one.

From a low pressure sales perspective the community should be phrasing it as questions that make the Windows user think about.

Like:

• if you stay on Windows what issues will you still face?

• Would moving to Linux solve those issues? Would the change over period be a roadblock, or can you see benefits you would gain.

I’m on Linux, but for Work I’m sometimes on Windows, and our teams calls are everyone trying to fix their sound because even with saved settings on which device to use Windows decides to change that for you.

Yeah, and me taking a man pill doesn’t stop the lady getting pregnant if some other guys didn’t bother to take it. It does make sense for the woman to protect herself from douchebags

Bazzite, built for gaming

That is weird

Isn’t that the natural hand postion though when you move the phone to your ear?

Not this headset but another sound device (maybe MS headset) I needed to install pavucontrol, open it and go to playback options and click around, and the device popped up in the DE sound switcher
