it's time for my favourite game, Windows or Capitalism, where we try to guess whether a statement applies to windows or capitalism

- it's obnoxiously expensive for no reason
- corporate monopolies allow the big companies to stamp out alternatives and present themselves as the only option, driving up prices to ridiculous levels
- you are constantly pressured to spend money. in fact, if you don't have money, you can't participate at all
- advertisements are a fundamental element of the system
- most people who have souls despise it, but remain complacent because "what are the alternatives? this is the way things are"
- the mere mention of the names of alternatives disgusts many people
- the people in charge don't give a shit about you

trick question!! all of these statements apply to windows AND capitalism!!!!!

@lynnesbian I'm like two of these posts away from figuring out how Linux works and installing it

@starwall @lynnesbian whatever you do dont go to the arch wiki for help because all you'll find is elitism and absolutely nothing helpful for learning

Follow

@norikawa
Weird, I found arch people quite friendly and even though I'm a debian person I use their wiki from time to time, it's really well done.

They put quite some love in their os is my impression.

That said yeah, not the best for a beginner probably, but that's by design
