If everyone had to install #Windows 11 themselves from scratch, they would absolutely switch to #Linux. Jesus, this takes FOREVER.

@killyourfm Windows is spread also because people don't install it, they pay someone to do that or it's preinstalled. Also Windows's default install take all the disk, it isn't like a typical installation of Linux that goes in dual boot so it needs to partition the disk

@killyourfm weird because 10 isn't even that much of a slog. Wonder what the deal is. Shit's gotten better since Vista pretty consistently.Installation, anyway. The rest, I dunno.

@FartsMusically It's a better installer, technically. But the amount of upselling for various Microsoft services and Windows options is borderline absurd now.

@xerz @killyourfm what Linux lacks is a Microsoft to lobby billions of dollars on its behalf on marketing deals and subsidies for game studios and hardware manufacturers....*tap*"That's you!"IBM: fuck off! Find another cow!

@FartsMusically @xerz In a slightly altered timeline, that cash cow is Valve.

@killyourfm I've done it a bunch of times ... It does take a bit... It's the getting all the updates that's a killer.

@killyourfm that's if Microsoft will even let you install it (all my computers are "too old")

@syn Yea, that little fact is seriously terrible. It must have generated so much e-waste.

And apparently Windows 11 makes it even more frustrating to dual-boot with #Linux. In my experience anyway, both #Fedora and #Kubuntu couldn't see my PC's Wifi module until I booted into Windows 11, enabled Hibernation, and then disabled Fast Startup. ???

@writeblankspace Is this a widely known issue? I'm just wondering if new Linux users might need to hear this.

@killyourfm Dunno, tried searching it up but got lots of jargon. Not much of an expert with troubleshooting with hardware. Anyways, I find that EndeavourOS and Win11 play slightly nicer and the issue doesn't happen as often unless my laptop came from a long sleep.For some people though, they'll find it rather annoying, and, like me, might not be able to understand how to fix it.

@killyourfm @writeblankspace I've always believed it necessary to disable Fast Startup on a dual-boot. Whether on Windows 11 or 10.

@AdamBishop @writeblankspace I just had no clue it was so hidden in Windows 11. (Having to go into CMD and enable Hibernate first). I could be wrong.

@killyourfm i had a similar experience in the days of XP and Mandriva, i had a usb Adsl modem that i could use only after XP loaded its firmware, then rebooted to Mandriva. I'd know how to extract then load the firmware under Linux time after, but then i already had the Adsl router, so ipconfig.

@killyourfm @xerz and Al Gore won the 01 election. I'm aware of that universe. I hope to go there some day. They say Conan is still a Simpsons writer over there.

@killyourfm Wouldn't it work if you just disabled Fast Boot support in your BIOS?

@killyourfm I have had this issue with Windows 10 and Fedora 37. If I had been in Windows 10 I'd have do go back in and turn off the wifi then restart into Fedora. I haven't noticed it yet since upgrading to Fedora 38.

@killyourfm I installed windows 11 in a VM because I had to use a piece of proprietary software. After hours of installation, you get spammed with thousands of questions.Who thinks an installation of Windows is done in half an hour or less will be surprised. It took me about three hours to get a usable system.

@killyourfmI have plain Ubuntu 23 without any Windows dualboot and it too struggles with finding my WiFi module, I'm afraid. From what I've read, that too is due to Fast Startup.

@killyourfm Really? I just double-click a file on Linux and it finishes in 3 minutes. BUT, that is the Windows eval VM image, of course. 😜Very practical for testing stuff.

@killyourfm Heck, even some distros that use Calamares (like my current daily driver EndeavourOS) are so much easier than Windows 11! (EndeavourOS does disable Bluetooth by default on a freshly-installed system, but it's literally a one line command to re-enable it.) And I'll take that over the spyware that is Windows 11 any day!

@killyourfm yeah it's annoying but mostly on the config side. I got RGB on my new machine for the first time and only the motherboard and fans are supported not the RAM or GPU
