I did this with windows. Not so much macos until later versions started ballooning in size and being optimized for SSDs.

somenonewho, in Crash reporting

Well of course they need to report your information to Microsoft, after all the application crashed on your computer and since it’s a Microsoft application it can’t be the fault of the application (also why you don’t see an error Log) so you must have been holding it wrong so they need your info to find out how you were holding it wrong.

DmMacniel,

if you want to see the logs you have eventmgr.msc which consolidates all logs in one place.

somenonewho,

As stated above. I know that there are actual logs produced (I honestly would not have known where to look for them by heart but that’s my shortcoming) my comment was meant to be sarcastic sorry for dropping that /s

Honytawk,

The fuck are you smoking?

Or (which is a lot more likely) it sends data so Microsoft can improve the software and fix the bug that you encountered in their software.

(Why would they want to receive crash dumps if they don’t believe to be at fault? That is just dumb logic)

If you want to see logs, you can just open the Event Viewer. It is a bit hidden because non-tech savvy people like you don’t understand it.

somenonewho,

Sorry I thought I was exaggerating enough but once again sarcasm doesn’t come through on the internet.

I know that actual logs are produced and can be viewed and I know that there are actual crash dumps being sent that are actually used for improvement.

Whole I don’t believe in the “hide what’s happening from the user” approach I get that Microsoft isn’t actually malicious or hates their users.

Again sorry for dropping the /s

stares at Debian Bookworm VPS that’s been upgraded in-place and hasn’t been reformatted since Debian Etch (2007)

qyron,

How I understand that.

For this particular VPS, I’ve moved provider several times, but every time I just use Clonezilla to clone the disk over the internet. Maybe I should do a fresh reinstall one day. There’s just so much random stuff running on it though.

PeterPoopshit, in Screw init wars, real OGs discriminate based on DE

I just use systemctl because I know how to use it and know all the ins and outs of any bullshit I might encounter. No way I’m switching. I like not being stumped on issues I can’t fix for weeks.

DE wars? Get off my lawn sonny, before I chastise you for using vim.

No need for a DE on Emacs OS.

FishFace,

Just a shame about the crappy text editor that comes with it :(

When did all the 13 year old Redditors invade Lemmy?

the_one,

I would be so proud of my 13 year old cousin knew this much about Linux.

Slackware users… You young kids, pffft.

dion_starfire,

I was thinking something similar. I use Arch because it’s easy and user friendly for me. I also come from a history of using Slackware in the mid-90s, to Gentoo in the mid-00s, to Arch in the mid-teens. So whenever anyone asks how I got to where I am with Linux, I generally recommend that they don’t follow the same path of pain, and start on something that’s actually user-friendly like Mint or Ubuntu.

comador,
@comador@lemmy.world avatar

Glad I’m not the only one haha… I am similar to you: Started on Linux with Slackware 95 distributed via Walnut Creek publishing and mailed “gasp”. make menu;make menuconfig ftw! I still use Slack at home, but am a RHEL and SuSE guy by trade.

only once have i seen the crash reporter in windows actually do something beneficial and report back an actual fix.

Installed fedora and then used distro box to have arch packages. It’s like cheating but I can run packages that aren’t in repo without the shit storm of the versioning. Is absurd how aur is so good but base configuration sucks so much 🤣
