If you believe in The Bible (I don't), it was God (who is also identified as Jesus (the word)) who killed him and no one else. It was basically a suicide.

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?"

“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple."

-Basically a death cult that poised itself to be a suicide cult.

Linux crashing from VLC is why I discovered MPV (CTT had this same issue with VLC specifically in Linux). Linux also crashed from a native game (Bombermaaan), and mounting a drive that hadn't been shut down properly among other times, but these are crashes were where reasons can be specified and not be a possible result of hardware malfunction.

Windows automatically repaired the drive before mounting. -Some would say because of 'bloat'.

Although to be fair I don't think crashes are a good way to measure how usable an operating system is for desktop users.

Agree, and I'm tired of seeing anecdotes on it when I could give my own where Linux crashed 10x as much in one month as Windows in a decade for me, and me being able to specify reasons. There's also plenty of stability issues with Linux to be found online with a simple web search. When Windows Millenium was giving people headaches, I fixed it simply by removing the crappy software firewalls that were popular at the time. -I ran WinME for over 6 months of heavy gaming without shutdown with no problems -shutdown to upgrade hardware.

And we're not even getting into how 'stable' is a misused term among their community.

 
 

 
 
 

Make all these false claims about Windows being buggy, then show KDE Plasma favor (which prioritizes features over bugs and often includes release notes like 'a bazillion bug fixes'). IOW's KDE admits what they don't.

 
  • Lie: There are no good tiling Window Managers on Windows.

Komorebi is an excellent well documented dynamic tiling window manager in heavy development who's dev posts regularly on YouTube. -Before this, we had Workspacer which seems abandoned and not developed for Windows 11 (though it mostly works). GlazeWM is like a better version of I3 (manual tiler) for windows that has also seen great strides in recent development.

  • Lie: Windows is not customizable like Linux.

Windows isn't as easy to fuck up as Linux. -That doesn't make it 'not customizable'. Watch any of this guy's recent videos and see someone 'customizing' Windows in real time: https://www.youtube.com/@LGUG2Z

  • Lie: Linux is more secure and doesn't spy because 'all eyes on code'.

This is just basically unsubstantiated bullshit propaganda that doesn't appeal to common sense (try auditing Firefox source code, malicious code can be hidden and fragmented among multiple files/ directories, FOSS devs lack incentive for reputation and are held less responsible). Microsoft has been around since near the beginning of desktop computers and hasn't lost our trust or sold us into FEMA camps like those conspiracy theorists like to believe. FOSS is less secure because people (anyone) can read the source and more easily find vulnerabilities as opposed to paid auditors. The thing that 'might' make Linux safer is them having such a tiny market share on desktop that they're not a target for most bad actors. There have been decade old bugs found in major FOSS projects, multiple times Linux has been responsible for destroying hardware (without warranty - displays, optical drives and even mainboards), and all this kind of stuff can be found if people simply used a search before parroting false claims.

RE: "Microsoft found guilty" - Multi-national corporations find it better to just pay fines and follow directives rather than to employ legal teams to fit all the arbitrary laws of different countries (and still fail). Any large corporation like this will have lawsuits against them. People should likewise be holding governments responsible for oversites.

An $80 smart phone is more capable and portable.

Don't migrant workers get work visas for picking fruit?

Wars are fought with propaganda. This war isn't special.

Lol, nice troll. Casting is more about finesse.

Why is there an issue with 'trans' but not 'women's'? If they're going to divide up (exclude) sexes, perhaps make a 'trans' competition too.

The closer to being from the garden, the better they taste. -Also, the more toxic.

VLC is heavily bloated with features you need a guide to use (may as well use a command line tool if you need to refer to a guide every time). It crashes (or did about 2 years ago) some of our Linux systems. MPV spanks the piss out of it.

Isn't this more of a pseudo piracy from youtube tool rather than an alternative?

Awesome for being a free tool, but it pales in comparison to Photoshop.
