I never knew that. Thanks for the information! I will make an account on lemm.ee

I don’t know anything about exploding heads and burggit but I assume they are right-leaning/alt-right. Like lemmygrad but the "opposite?) I am against defederation in general. I like to be exposed to different opinions and I am fully capable to use my brain to not become an extremist.

That said, I don’t agree with either the extremist left or right.

The fuck? Who are you to say who should be on lemmy.ml? Just because I don’t agree with some of the people that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be here.

Get the fuck out of here with that segregation bullshit. I don’t want an instance that defederate from everything I don’t agree with.

I don’t understand how the Democrats in USA can be considered left-wing. Sure, they are more left than the Republicans, but in my eyes they certainly not left-wing.

Did you even read what this is about?

The European Commission used its statement to detail its concern “that Microsoft may have granted Teams a distribution advantage by not giving customers the choice whether or not to acquire access to Teams when they subscribe to their SaaS productivity applications. This advantage may have been further exacerbated by interoperability limitations between Teams’ competitors and Microsoft’s offerings. The conduct may have prevented Teams’ rivals from competing, and in turn innovating, to the detriment of customers in the European Economic Area.”

Let me guess. You’re an American?

In Europe we have rules, regulations and consumer protections because our respective countries and the collective union actually give a shit about the people that live here.

I am using Asuswrt-merlin on my router that does not support openwrt

And Vanguard is already being bypassed by using external tools. IIRC I saw a video about it where the cheater had the hack running on a completely separate computer.

“The Microsoft-powered bot says bosses can take workers’ tips and that landlords can discriminate based on source of income”

Well it ain’t wrong. Business can absolutely do that and do absolutely do that. If they get caught they get a slap on the wrist and that’s it.

As long as the punishment does not match the crime the American society will never get better. This is why proper rules, regulations and oversight needs to be in place. The “free” market will never do the right thing on its own.

I would assume as any other distro. Windows applications are run through Wine or Proton on Linux. I am not currently using Vanilla OS on my machine (using arch btw), still waiting for the stable 2.0 to dive in deeper.

To run Windows applications I would install flatpak package support in any of the subsystems (arch, fedora), then install Bottles for Windows applications and Steam or Lutris for games. Never tried Lutris for applications but it might work well too.

Vanilla OS 2.0 sounds like it could be for you. That distro can install everything. I mean everything. Ubuntu stuff, Fedora stuff, Arch stuff and whatever else!

Using QEMU/Virt-Manager you can just create a new VM and instead of creating a virtual disk you just input the path to your drive manually. In my case it’s mounted at /dev/sdb

This will pass your full drive to the VM and Windows will just boot up like magic

Edit: If you already have a Windows VM I would assume you could just edit it and change from virtual drive to your full Windows drive instead. I don’t think you have to make a new one

Here are the feature differences compared to regular Windows https://www.revi.cc/docs/faq/before/features/

Revi is built using the Ameliorated Wizard. The CLI version is open source.

I also considered using Tiny11 and Ghost Spectre but ended up with Revi because I don’t really trust Tiny11 or Ghost Spectre. It’s super easy for a malicious actor to include malware in those redistributed ISOs.

Of course the same thing can be said about Revi but Revi also offers the option to run their Playbook on a regular install of Windows. Or you could make your own custom Windows Playbook with Ameliorated.

Then there is also AtlasOS which, like Revi, is made using Ameliorated. I chose Revi because they had MS store and Windows defender still working and I like their custom tool. But according to Atlas developers, Windows Defender will be coming back in the next release.

In the end I guess what it comes down to is who you trust. The safest bet would be to debloat Windows yourself.

I am using single GPU VFIO passthrough and it’s good enough to game on, especially if you also pin your CPU threads in the VM. You will lose a little bit of performance but if you really need that extra power you can just switch to bare metal Windows using dual boot

If you don’t want the full bloated Windows I can recommend that you check out ReviOS

Dual boot on separate disks is pretty nice. You can even load up your Windows install inside a VM on your Linux drive

It honestly makes me wonder why i keep using windows on my main desktop if proton allows playing most anything i play

I was asking myself the same question. Then I installed Linux on my desktop and I have never been happier
