I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don't even use chrome, i've switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10

It is perfectly legal. That's what you get for using and choosing a shitty corporation's useless operating system while harassing GNU/Linux users for decades. Frankly, all of you Microsoft bootlickers are getting what you deserve.

No one but MS wants this. Stop strawmanning people, you dolt. No one hates on Linux for its lack of ads.

But you enable MS's bad behavior. They know you all have no backbone.

There's no strawmanning, just the consequences of endorsing abusive behavior done by parasites.

Don't say "you". You have no idea what we stand for, wish for, or condone. Such pretentiousness should be saved for when you actually know your audience.

Using Microsoft Windows or any of its derivatives is endorsement of that software. Every user of Windows is a sucker. OP's post is not the end nor the start.

Get real, the audience of Windows is an audience of self-enabling victims.

"But I have to use it for work!!!! I have to make money!"

You are still a sucker and perpetuating this broken system. If that makes you angry, it should, the artifice of respectable neo-liberal society was stripped from you.

If Linux didn't manage to somehow be worse than Windows then this would be a problem.

To use Linux is to jog on the highway.

No, you juat nees to pick the correct distro from lile 5 distros. This is as simple as beig able to predict what software you will be running or what will you be doing on what software.

You see, super simple.

Full disclosure, I'm linux user for about 7 years. Only this year I finally switched to only Linux when buying my new PC. And running Ubuntu cuz everyone makes stuff for it and fuck Arch

lmk when I can Baldur's Gate 3, Squad, Planetside 2, Warframe, Valheim, Photoshop, Solidworks, and use VR on Linux.

You can run Baldurs Gate 3 on Linux. Planetside 2 works, Warframe does too, Valheim has a native Linux build, Photoshop runs in Linux using Wine, there are projects showing how to get Solidworks running in Wine.

I don’t know what Squad is and as for VR, I see instructions for SteamVR but I don’t know if that runs well or not.
