        Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.

          I’ve heard of being blocked from a specific service like Xbox Live but never the whole of Microsoft. How would people get Windows updates? It’s crazy.

        Bish, I use NixOS. I have defeated dependency hell by sacrificing storage space to just say “fudge it, give me ALL THE DEPENDENCIES!!! Rip off their ELF heads!!”.

        We are not the same.

    I couldn’t pick red if I wanted. Something happened with the USB when I flashed it and most of its space was unusable so I could use linux. And the fact I can’t use games with anti- cheat, I don’t know if that changed though

      You can play most games with AC. There’s only a handful that don’t work. Kernel-level AC, for example, obviously won’t work if they don’t release a Linux version (which you should probably avoid installing). There’s also some Chinese games with their own AC that isn’t supported yet, and that’s a choice they’ve made.

    Take the red USB and it always ends with you deep in a forum and the terminal app.

        Hey, same boat. I’ve tried FreeCAD and Ondsel (which is supposed to be a more intuitive version of FreeCAD)… But they are both so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.

        Luckily Blender works great on Linux for less functional designs.

          People often recommend Linux alternatives, but that the thing—an alternative on Linux has to be a preferable to just booting into a spare Windows hard drive.

          If restarting my computer, booting up windows, opening F360, modeling my part, exporting it to a flash drive, restarting my computer, and booting back into Linux is faster than figuring out how to make that same model in OpenSCAD or whatever, then I’m gonna be restarting my computer a lot.

      The rest of us should just do what the transbians do and sleep with each other.

    But when he took the red pill he was relegated to eating a bowl of snot as his only food and living in a hellscape and had to fight a never-ending war whilst still having to regularly go back in to the matrix he was supposedly escaping. I mean I guess, great, for humanity but it doesn’t make picking Linux sound like a great time if you’re going to use that analogy.
