I used WinXP till '19 with no signs of infections. Just extracting the .wim image of the PC was enough to trigger Defender on Win10. It was infected.

Thankfully Chromebooks have very low popularity outside US
BCM4360 doesn't work reliably for me even to this day
Now imagine Linux withmitigations=off
I had to set up an app on Wine + macOS, the app spawns bg processes that have a window (on Wine, not on Windows) for some reason and each time that happens the main window app loses focus. Couldn't solve it. On Linux + Plasma Wayland the problem is inverse ie. even the main window doesn't have an icon on taskbar, if you minimize it you can restore with only Alt + Tab.
people who install Windows on their Steam Deck?
I see this way too often, nearly half of the 2nd hand Decks sold here have Windows🤷♂️
https://manjarno.pages.dev/ Manjaro's Pamac took AUR down twice, also their website had its SSL certs expire 4 times
Wine can run 32 bit apps on Catalina & newer with WoW64, only native 32 bit prefixes got busted. Ironically I had one such prefix on Mojave, now the Mac has only Linux but the OS + Wine prefix is backed up twice.
No you can't, 1 version of Google Play is bundled with the system image and cannot be removed. But you can uninstall updates and disable it to remove the automatically updated copy of Google Play.
I was installing Linux on sb else's PC, to skip the Bitlocker warning I had to boot Windows, use cmd to assign drive letters to recovery partitions and disable bitlocker on them, again from cmd. The owner was confused because they had disabled bitlocker on C: but got Bitlocker warning on Linux installer anyways, I was looking at stackoverflow threads to find the right commands right next to the owner because I hadn't used Windows for years and forgot how to do things lol. Fun times.
Where I live Nvidia GPUs are insanely priced or nonexistent while AMD sans 9070 has decent prices, check AMD cards too.
Here is the past network setup:
- Main Router (192.168.1.2) -> Ethernet Switch -> Multiple Ethernet cables connected to wall
- Wall -> Second Router (192.168.1.1)
- Wall -> PC
After a blackout we thought the switch was no longer working so we replaced it with another router. The problem is the router has too few ports, not every room gets ethernet. The ethernet switch works in this configuration:
- Main Router -> Third Router (Wi-Fi disabled) -> Ethernet cable connected to wall -> Wall -> Ethernet Splitter -> PC Under either of these configurations PC detects network but cannot reach 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 or WWW:
- Main Router -> Ethernet Switch -> PC
- Main Router -> Ethernet Switch -> Ethernet cable connected to wall -> Wall -> PC
Windows reports "Unidentified network", Linux tries to connect for a minute then fails. I knwo the PC isn't bad because other devices also fail to connect. Even if I set up a static IP I cannot reach a local IP. 2nd router has IP address 192.168.1.1 because it refuses to use anything else, first router is assigned different IP so these two don't conflict.
Update: For testing I removed router 2, (the one I use as an extender / wireless AP) set router 1's IP address to 192.168.1.1. I tried connecting Router 1 to Router 3 (with DHCP disabled) and Router 3 (used as a switch) to PC via cables. It worked. Then I replaced Router 3 with the switch, network detected but no Internet. So even with the simplest possible setup and one DHCP server I had no network.
My original problem was Router 3 had too few ports and not all rooms got Ethernet access. Router 3 is above Router 1 and connects to cables coming out from the wall that provide Ethernet to rooms. I recalled that WAN cable of Router 1 is too short so I cannot lift it to connect to cables, turns out that's not the case. So I lifted Router 1 and I could connect a cable to provide Ethernet for one more room which is what I needed. Routers 1 are 3 are held mid air with Ethernet cables.
I previously mentioned that the switch works if it is connected to a wall plug in a room and it still works that way. Anyways here is the final setup:
- Hardware: Intel Core i3-6100U, 8 GiB RAM, Intel HD 520
- Software: Fedora Linux 40, Proton 8, Mesa 24.1.6
- Game Settings: DX12, frame gen off, FSR, everything on low/off, 720p windowed with %100 resolution.
Game did not start before renaming folder Engine/Plugins/Runtime/Nvidia. I was stuck at a black screen. I obviously did not expect good performance, I just wanted to see if I could run the benchmark.

I got 5-6 reports then stopped extracting the image because I got scared. Mostly PUP and info stealers, maybe 1 trojan.
