Great! The same applies here.

But, unfortunately, I must keep a machine that contains M$ Winblows operational. The reason is that I cannot shop on-line for groceries
at a few places. Browsers on GNU/Linux do not function with those
sites. This also applies to other vendors like Newegg and BestBuy.
Blame this on the corporate IT managers who are too incompetent to
understand that M$ Winblows is not the only OS.

I have pie r8ted versions of Winblows 10 and Winblows 11 installed
and it requires HOURS to remove the crap like Defender and Update
and etc., etc.

Until you immediately contradict yourself, heh.

Hint: that's because the "browsers on GNU/Linux" *you* have on your
crippled machine aren't modern browsers, if you would just install
Debian like a sane person you could immediately solve that problem. But
you won't. You'll keep mocking sane people and contradicting yourself
by using Windows for simple Web browsing. Retarded.

I don't really care if you pirate software, but don't pretend it's
something to take pride in, you want the benefits of Windows but you
don't want to pay the small cost of a gray market license, talk about "cheapskate". Bleeping Computer has Win11 Pro for $10, are you that broke?
