Windows absolutely does not design their UI as if the user is clueless
It is more userfriendly, than most linux desktop environments…
But they got 2 settings menus, and several others hidden away. Sometimes the crashes without any explanation or obscure non userfriendly error codes
Games are sometimes installed where you decide
Other times its in APPDATA which for some reason is a hidden folder… why!?
Its full of old legacy code incl legacy programs and so on. Useless bloat.
My mother asked me about finding files on her computer yesterday. Word documents. She has been working an office , on windows for like 30 years… but now word uses the cloud.
Anyways
My biggest problem with linux is a lot of programs are just “installed” and who the fuck knows where
And a lot of programs save data into some folder… who the fuck knows where
So many hidden folders with obscure or meaningless names. What does more letters cost? Make it easier for the user… nobody knows what’s in folders named:
Etc
Local (all folders are local ffs)
Lib64
Run
Srv
Lib
Opt
Sbin
Var
They probably make sense for some linux kernel developers but my software utilize some of these and IMO the names should make sense for everyone, seeing as MY files are in some of them

My suggestion to discord:
Require age input when making a user
Then if the child wants an account, a parent has to make one and create their profile and choose what they can and cannot do. Sort of like parental controls for video game consoles, smart phones etc
No age verification required. No ID etc
That way i can check a box that disallows my kid to join any server, or he has to request access which i have to confirm etc
Same can be done for friends requests and PMs etc

i’ve just installed cachy, yesterday. been working fine so far. I can even double click to install .exe files, but… it didn’t handle installing battle.net that well, so… i had to do it manually, but that worked fine.
So far no issues. Fast, and easy. even more customizable out of the box, than windows.
if you haven’t tried it, i highly recommend you give it a go. it’s free.
I find it ironic that they keep talking shit about nvidia and AI companies ruining everything
yet theres so many links to amazon in that article…
A few years ago, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos predicted that you’ll ditch your local PC hardware for rented “compute” from Amazon and other cloud companies. https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/jeff-bezos-says-the-quiet-part-out-loud-bezos-envisions-that-youll-give-up-your-pc-for-an-ai-cloud-version
They’re also assholes towards their workers. i dont understand why you’d complain about some companies shady ways of doing business, but not all.

30% seems rather high
but… when they handle payments, refunds, advertising (within their application) and game download costs (server infrastructure?), etc etc etc. it doesnt seem that crazy.
at least, for a lot of indie developers, not having to worry about those things, might easily be worth those 30%
Coz they’re assholes.
sues emulator-devs - but puts old roms onto their own products (mini nintendo etc. contained roms that “pirates” had distributed online for years)
never lowers the prices of their games
sues everyone left and right - like Palworld-developers
They issue takedowns on youtube channels for including nintendo game-music or gameplay
and probably more reasons
