    Gnome: “you know what we should remove the mouse pointer, users should be familiar enough with computers to just constantly picture and map it mentally anyway this will look much cleaner”

    KDE: “hey you just tried to move your mouse, that’s cool, let’s pop up this panel right on top of the cursor to let you know the cursor is actually an applet and you can connect online to download 45 different types of cursor or replace it with a floating panel, there are also two extra icons next to it but we don’t know what they do so if you click them let us know okay bye”

    Windows XP: “so here’s a mouse cursor, yes it looks like the Windows 95 one. You see, some old programs actually use the leftmost pixel in the cursor to map their memory so if we change it things break”

    Windows 11: “welcome to Microsoft 365 Cursor Café, a simple subscription will allow you to move the cursor and you can share it with 5 other family members through OneDrive”

    Having two drives is sometimes not enough, either. I have no idea why, but anytime Windows installs for the first time or goes through a major update (not the small security patches, but the periodic feature releases) there’s a random D20 dice throw to determine if it will randomly decide to create the bootloader and recovery partitions in another drive, even though your main installation isn’t there.

    I kid you not, Windows 10 once decided that my external SSD enclosure was the best place to put the bootloader.

    I recommend using this: https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper

    A couple years ago, Google decided that instead of exporting the photos with EXIF data exactly as you’ve uploaded them, which was the original behavior and how platforms such as OneDrive do it, they are going to completely delete all EXIF from the image and instead also create a .json containing the original data, in a non-standard format. This script is an open and free version of a paid tool that goes through each image, finds the corresponding .json, and puts the EXIF data back on.

    If you don’t do that, when you reupload these photos into a new service, the date will be reverted to the day you’ve downloaded them and location data will be missing entirely.

    Not only is Debian absolutely correct in offering a non-free repo, any distro destined at desktop usage should leave it enabled by default.

    Nothing wrong with a distro that’s built entirely on free software. But if you believe this is ever going to be how actual people use their computers, you’re delusional. You might also become obsessed with the name given to an operating system that became extremely popular using (optionally) some of your components, driving you nuts.
