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...

I'm happy every time somebody realizes that windows sucks.
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?

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.

Maybe some day I'll learn.

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.

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.

macOS is best Linux.

MacOS isn't Linux.

True. It's better.
