        People who have never had the pleasure of experiencing vim might not realize that the colon is a part of the command and will start recording a macro instead.

        Wont work if you have unsaved edits or are in insert mode. Escape then :q! will.

          and when typing :q with unsaved edits it literally also says “add ! to override”

        I typed :q and it just says :q on the bottom, all this advice and I’m still stuck in vim. My electricity bill has been high since 2022 because of this heavy editor with no x button

      William Gates retired, MicroShaft is now headed by Satya Nadella, who is apparently some fuckwit that’s out of touch with humanity.

        i do know that, Bill wasn’t innocent either. I do like quite a bit of what he’s doing, but back in the day that was a ruthless motherfucker.

          You are aware that communism ≠ capitalism ≠ dictatorship right?

          People (often brainwashed US citizens) throw that communism word around as if it’s somehow bad.

    If the game is Elder Scrolls, then I beat the OS by waving my Wabbajack and the Windows OS turns into Linux.

      Brother laser printers.

      Was shocked when it randomly showed ip everywhere automatically, it showed up and worked on my fresh freebsd install, I thought shit was haunted.

      3D printers are easier to use than getting ink on paper and it’s appalling

    I am not nearly computer literate enough to understand what all these comments are talking about. But I expected personal bias to be one of the answers.

      Have an upvote just for commenting.

      Yes, there’s always gonna be some sort of tech bias regarding such questions. Every OS has flaws, somewhere…

    BTRFS deciding it’s corrupt and refusing even read only access.

    Edit: You beat it by trashing the disk, using any other file system, restoring from backup and accepting any losses.

    The final boss of Windows is to crowbar out a metric shitton of bullshit and you do it with a bunch of registry tweaks and GPedit

    The final boss was Arch in the early days.
    The boss fight was troubleshooting your display settings in Xorg.conf blindly, because you didn’t have any screen output after an update.

    It would be General Failure reading the disc. I would fsck him up, and replace disc if necessary.

    Yes, I know those may be different oses, but I was thinking multiplatform
