“Hardcore mode”. Its really not as hard as it seems to people.
Would the person employing this mode called a superuser?

There was an article on a tech news site recently about how to unshittify windows. Just like 4 pages of stuff to turn off and uninstall.
People in the comments unsurprisingly were like “Linux is free and getting better all the time”. People were mad. So mad.
Yeah.
Like, im sorry your old fav turned to shit and is shit now, but it is shit now. Let’s look for options that aren’t shit and aren’t turning to shit.windows users:
how DARE you!
Is hardcore mode where if the computer crashes it automatically deletes any files you had and resets the OS to a clean slate?
Installing your OS and data on a RAM disk
suicidelinux?
Last night I had to go into powershell to delete an mp3 because for some reason I couldn’t just right click and delete because I needed admin permission. I built you I’m not an admin I’m god
Linux has you sudo all the time so that’s not weird.
If you are using sudo all the time something has gone wrong
I just set my computer to auto-login as root when it boots up. I never have to use sudo!
If you aren’t trying new packages and distros are you even Linuxing?
As a Silverblue-based distro user, I don’t need root to do any of that.
It might be roundabout weird because using Windows you expect any request performed by the user (except perhaps modifying system32) to be accepted without questioning.
Linux (with a few exceptions) gives the user the expectation that the reason they need sudo is that it is the safety glass confirmation around the potential self-destruct button (even if sometimes needed for mundane things)
Yeah not sure that one holds up. I’m happily on Linux now, but permissions are something that often creep up and I need to sudo often.
Was it copied from an old hard drive?
It was an old download but it’s weird because everything else in the folder deleted except that single file.
I have had issues when it was copied from an old hard drive where the files were downloaded by another account name. Windows knows the account IDs don’t match so your permissions are limited. If you don’t like command line you can often go into properties , security, advanced, then use take ownership option, or select user name and check the full control option
i had that, but with a font file. so dumb.
Indeed, it’s 100% about respecting the user. Windows does not.
This is the YouTube video.
Of course it’s fucking Dave, piece of shit https://www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-releases/attorney-general-s-office-sues-settles-washington-based-softwareonlinecom
Microsoft needs to get on this. I would pay money out of my own pocket to be able to upgrade my Windows 11 to hardcore mode at work just so I didn’t have to deal with all of their AI and tracking bullshit.
And actually I know the company I work for would pay to upgrade all of their employees to the same level. Like they’re sitting on millions of dollars of profit to just be able to turn off the bullshit they’re forcing on us.
Windows 11 ltsc is Windows with all the copilot stuff removed. Doesn’t even have Windows store. It is what the Pro version of Windows should have been. Was impressed after installing it since even Windows 10 after clean install had bunch of crap like tiktok and messenger to remove. LTSC is the closest to what Windows used to be back in Windows 7 when an OS was just as OS opposed to trying to push people to make online accounts to log into.
Gotta love how they have more than 70% of the market, yet they still need to see line go up, because otherwise they might actually have to improve the product 🫨
Shit headline. The correct one is “Former Microsoft engineer explains why Windows sucks ‘now’.”
