The simulation absolutely runs on Windows, have you seen the random unwanted stuff that happens way too often in it?

I’ve lost power with it many times, none of my BTRFS partitions have been corrupted so far.

I see that as an absolute win linux

ftfy

BTRFS lets me backup my stuff more conveniently too, although it does start throwing a tantrum if you run out of space due to COW…

I have several (at least 5) BTRFS filesystems, on SSDs and HDDs of varying speeds, with somewhat longer cache writeback and commit times, AND some wire problems that trip my apartment breakers once or twice every month;
I’ve been using BTRFS for about a year and a half, and at worst I suffered loss of newer data.

I disowned my dad because he suggested “windows”

Having used Windows quite a few times in my life, I know the feeling

Have you had severe fuckups yearly with Windows, or Linux?

I’ve had bi-yearly severe fuckups with Windows and have yearly (probably more) severe fuckups with Arch;
the fix to the latter is a thumb drive away, the fix to the former is an ancient ritual which the FBI is still investigating me for.

Unfortunately most people are utter slaves of convenience, they’d gladly suffer 30 seconds of unskippable ads every time they open the start menu rather than re-learn how a different operating system works - doing the latter has a (potentially) massive ROI, but it is quite a big step, and that’s what gets them

To a slightly lesser extent, that’s also true of Windows - severe malfunctions are less likely to happen, but when they do happen, fixing them is almost always an absolute clusterfuck, and when it isn’t, it’s downright impossible.

By “problem” I meant having to close Firefox before further browsing, not automated updates - I don’t know if I could stand daily-driving a system with Snap updating my stuff while I’m trying to use it tbh, that’s one of the main reasons I left Windows behind.

Your first comment gave me the impression that Firefox required a restart because it’s distributed officially through Snaps or something, idk 27 days have passed since then

Conclusion: Windows, Mac and BSD users are cannibals

I installed Linux on windows

… what?

Hey, the first two don’t sound quite right

yet

Ah gotcha, it’s not the cause but it makes the problem way worse

Wait hold on wait, does that bullshit have something with Firefox being distributed through Snap?

If it does, I’m going to sn… also fucking lose it

Casualty? What happened to the poor fella?

freedesktop.org defines environment variables that should be used by applications to store their stuff;
[archlinux.org] has a (non-authoritative) summary, but it also provides a [link to the actual specification].
