Certificates on Windows 11 are absolute trash. They removed the ability to impersonate accounts by only allowing a pin certificate. The problem is there used to be a mechanism to login by username and password, but its gone now. So if you're pin cert doesnt work, there is no way to impersonate the cert anymore or emulate a seperate account. What retard thought this was a good idea...

Windows 12 will link the certificate to your vaccination passport.

So if you're pin cert doesnt work ...

Switched to Linux Mint years ago and never looked back...

Watching windows users complain about windows is like watching a crack whore come out of the crack house, tell you crack is bad, then turn around and go right back into the crack house.

Amusing really.

How'd you get it to boot?

I've tried to run Mint several times over the years, and every time it fails spectacularly. It usually has major problems with Nvidia drivers in my case and hard freezes the system. You can try the binary drivers from Nvidia, but that's just a black screen. Good times.

I have an AMD laptop so it's not a problem for me. You should check out Pop OS, it's the only distro I know of that includes Nvidia drivers.

I did get Kubuntu to work on a system and then it couldn't save the WiFi password. It asked me to type it in every time it booted or woke up from a sleep. People kept saying the solution is to install Gnome Wallet or some shit, but it was already installed. Tried removing it and reinstalling but no luck. Every time I try to get Linux to go on a system I waste about a day trying to make it work before I give up. And that's a guy who's been building systems since 1995. I can't imagine how difficult it is for someone with less experience from back in the day when you had to manually configure everything in Windows, too.

Ive had no issues getting mint to boot on nvidia cards.

I run arch as a daily driver for the last 2 years. but before that i was on mint for a while.

Oh, it boots. It's just that a few minutes later the system hangs.

Same in 10. Forced to use a pin to access my computer. These are ways MS tracks people. Creepy cringe

you install windows without internet connection. bypass all that BS

And stick with a local account. I have the options of facial recognition, pin or username/password, at least on Windows 10.

[–] 1 pt

That option is gone on the later builds on Win10.

yep, that's super annoying, like who else is going to use a home computer but me?

Do you know what doesn't suck? Linux.

Installed Linux 2 days ago on my Lenovo Legion laptop.

Didn't get through MX Linux installation. Next.

Got through Linux Mint installation, but almost nothing worked. Next.

Installed Ubuntu, everything seems to work except it doesn't correctly identify my TV so I can only get it to display 4k resolution about 50% of the time.

I don't get why there are so many problems. Do you have to buy specific computers with specific hardware for Linux to work well?

[–] 2 pts

Few manufacturers build with Linux in mind. ms dictates the specs and they go out of their way to screw us.

As for hardware? slightly older business castoffs are the way to go,stuff em' with ram and an ssd and you'll get happy.

Your Legion is fixable,know its specs and fire up the search engine.

Thanks. Ok the Linux ecosystem might need some time to mature for brand new computers? I guess it makes sense.

Usually, there's some initial tweaking to be done to get everything working exactly like you want.

To be fair, a fresh install of windows requires a fair amount of work too. Drivers, config, tweaks, software. It's just the average user never sees it.

[–] 0 pt

Not work that Linux doesn't require. The struggle with Linux is overcoming all the bugs just to get your machine up and running so you can start tweaking the config and software.

Why doesn't everyone just use Linux then? Does it run everything fine or do you wind up having a massive burden of bullshit to run properly?

Probably worth its own thread

Because they don't have an advertisement budget. I currently run Linux Mint, Manjaro, ubuntu and raspberry pi OS on different machines; I also have Tails and Kali on USB sticks, they all work great. If you have problems, there are lots of forums and articles you can use to solve them.

Ah ha ha ha ha. After trying four different distros last fall trying to find one that could even work was a wild goose chase. Mint, Debian, Kubuntu ... all fail for different reasons. I don't know how anybody can use them for serious work.

Sorry it didn't go better for you; you do have to put in a bit of work to solve things, but some people enjoy that part too. Pretty satisfying when you get stuff working.

For each new release of Windows n: "Windows n is garbage. Windows n-1 was so much better. I'm staying with that."

[–] 1 pt

By that logic, Windows 10 should have been better. It wasn't. Windows 7 was the last half decent Windows.

Can you explain in normal english again?

It used to be that at one point, you could emulate the credentials you wanted to install a certificate. Now, Windows removed the option which means if you want to impersonate an account, you're fucked. This is a problem when you wnat to use your own account with different credential method (pin code vs username/password)

I still don't understand. Windows 10 was asking any email to start. What changed now?

[–] 1 pt

This is more for certificate files, which are installed by other providers, be it a web browser, or corp cert. Essentially, Windows removed the ability to emulate personalities and identities, and it is now a single baked identity that can not change
