I was recently going back and forth turning off my ethernet interface, enabling the wi-fi interface and vice versa. Little did I know this would permanently break the Windows network stack and the registry. At some point it kept showing me as disconnected from the internet even though I was connected, and every time I started trying to check the network settings it would eventually freeze. sfc /scannow found corruption in the network configuration but that still didn't fix the problem and rolling back didn't fix it. This left me no choice but to reset my PC. So I did just that, everything was fine, but I decided to test disabling and re-enabling the wired & wi-fi interface a few times just to see if the issue would replicate, and go figure, it did. Clicking "Advance network settings" once again began freezing and crashing the settings window, and Wireguard wasn't being allowed to create a tunnel. Once again sfc /scannow finds data corruption, but this time appears to have fixed it (so far).

How is this operating system so shit? How do such critical bugs that break the registry still exist?

That isn't all either. If you right click on a directory > Properties > Sharing, then click the "Share" tickbox... it will share the entire drive that the directory exists in... with PUBLIC PERMISSION. If you did this on your C: drive, your entire C: drive is accessible with read/write permissions and no security for the entire LAN.

Windows is a terrible operating system. It has only ever had huge backwards compatibility and having all the programs ever be native going for it. If you can emulate what you need for work and whatever games you want then there is exactly zero reason to ever bother SHITdows.

>>105845414 (OP)
It is System64 now?

>>105845414 (OP)
I honestly didn't have too many problems with Windows 11 that weren't hardware related, but I definitely think the telemetry bullshit, dealing with Edge, and RAM usage were inexcusable. Also, why the fuck do they have a modern settings interface, but for shit I actually want to use I have to go to Control Panel or use cmd?

>>105845439
well, besides the backwards compat. and native programs, there's also the problem with nothing working right in linux, nothing working in bsd, and macos being a money trap

the cheapest and most useful OS remains windows because everything else is worse

>>105845484
I'm using linux right now and it just works. Yes, including games.

>>105845414 (OP)
OP here. Can now confirm its permanently broken again.

Hahaha, what a piece of absolute garbage operating system. Microsoft must hire some of the biggest idiot engineers out there. I'd switch to a Linux distro in a heartbeat but it doesn't support my software pipeline natively.

>>105845414 (OP)
It is extremely slow, compared to any flavor of Linux, but the third party software JUST WERKS.
Linux distros are mostly stable, but the software running on them is a meme, I couldn't cope anymore after years of exclusive use, I came back.

There are no perfect OS it seems.
Pragmatism is the final pill for me.

>>105846522
what software did you have trouble with on linux that you find is working flawlessly on windows?

>>105846522
That's not really a fault with linux operating systems

>>105846581
Any email client (which are all dogshit honestly)
Steam (it crashes on both but on Linux if you run the wrong game like TF2, it's a crashfest)
Any chromium based application on wayland, which makes linux usable for normie messaging, I can't believe Google doesn't do shit about it
I know I'll get memed on for this one but Screen color calibration on Gnome
Papers, and a myriad of other GTK apps which are otherwise kino.
I'm not booted up in it to give you an exhaustive list.
Sometime I don't know what the fuck happens for shit to constantly breaks and I have to reboot for it to work, and I know my way around linux pretty well.

First Windows update made me instantly regret rpm-ostree's upgrade which boots into a new tree seamlessly.
Linux is otherwise god-tier for development, but I'm tired of being a QA tester and using webapps.

>>105846588
No it's not, it's a pragmatic choice in the end.
Microsoft does create good frameworks and enables devs through good APIs and frameworks, their mobile companion on W11 shits all over KDEConnect.
Their store is actually good now. Powershell remains a giga joke, picrel is classic MS bullshitery (no I'm not going to do anything that isn't sudo meme upgrade).


I'm all over the place but also VR made me tired, Flatpak breaking DRM leasing, trying to stream my desktop crashing the whole setup.
Just remembered (this one was on Bluefin when I tried it), DNS resolution not working anymore out of nowhere, needing to restart resolvd. Headless RDP broken out of nowhere, can't generate a password anymore, so I needed to reconfigure and symlink everything again according to docs.

>>105845414 (OP)
UI is slow af because it's non-native.

>>105846727
use KDE

>>105846776
Yearly KDE rpm-ostree rebases have become a ritual for me at this point.
Last time I tried it was the same shit.

Macs aren't actually that expensive for the hardware, especially at the high end Macbook Pros are very good value for mobile workstations. Compare to an equivalent specced Dell or Thinkpad etc.

Where Apple does jew you are peripherals and suchlike. As far as software goes there's lots of overpriced third party kikery in the Apple Store but in truth you can get most everything you need on homebrew. The only thing I pay for there is Parallels because MacOS's 32 bit emulation is dreadful but Win11ARM in a VM on Apple hardware somehow just werks.

>If you did this on your C: drive, your entire C: drive is accessible with read/write permissions and no security for the entire LAN.
No. SMB permissions layer on top of NTFS permissions.

>>105845477
because they DONT want you to use those things. They want you be a stupid retard who can only figure out how to do anything if the big shiny settings button says so.

They want you to be dependant on them for everything so they can take it away.

>>105846800
I think entry level Macs are unbeatable, and the rumors about an iPhone chip one is going to be the last nail in the coffin.
It's when you need a bit more power, like... an active cooling system. Suddenly you need to pay 1K more for the Pro line while the entry lvl could handle everything anyway (see YT).

Linux is getting better, giving people the option of flatpacks and appimages. Now they have 'runimage' containers. It's highly innovative.
All Linux really needs is a true Office 365 replacement and we're good.

>>105846857
Well if you want high end you're probably buying a Pro anyways. I'm not watching some jewtuber's slop but basically last time I bought an MBP I was also shopping for Thinkpads and for equivalent specs (clock speed, cores, cache size, main memory) the MBP was a bit cheaper, though I suppose if you wait on Lenovo clearance sales the Thinkpad is the better deal.

This shit is literally irrelevant for a desktop system.
I own bot an EPIC! full red desktop and macshit, what now?

I thought I'd try and replicate OP's error and try to disable and re-enable my Ethernet and WiFi a few times.

Suffice to say, that was a big mistake.

>it kept showing me as disconnected from the internet

thats normal dude... we use proxy at werk and sometimes it just shows as disconnected even if everything just works...

>>105848469
you are genuinely stupid. If this were normal, it wouldn't just suddenly happen after 3 years of Windows 11. It also wouldn't cause the settings window to crash every time "advanced network settings" was clicked.

>>105845414 (OP)
>little did i know that the shitty "privacy" memescripts i ran would break the network stack
(You) problem.
>sfc /scannow found corruption in the network configuration
No it didn't, because SFC doesn't check the registry (where configuration data is kept), only system files.
>so i did "reset your pc" which famously doesnt reset your memescripts registry hacks and it didnt work
Imagine my shock.
>how much can i break the configuration and blame m$?
You've answered this question.
>i also dont understand how file sharing works and how it has to go through ntfs permissions too
Diagnosis: fucking baby duck tard.
