  • You can have a preference without being passionate or evangelical about the thing you prefer.

    I feel an operating system is a really weird thing to be passionate about anyway. And judging others for their personal preference in OS says more about the person doing the judging if you ask me…

    I find merit in each of the major operating systems I use: Windows 11, Mac OS 13, Ubuntu, Debian, Manjaro, Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS, and Alpine Linux - and those are just the ones I run currently. In the past I used OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, HPUX, Slackware, SUSE, Fedora, Redhat, Windows 3.11/95/98Se/2000/XP/7/10, and Mac OS 9 through 12 (with the exception of Cheetah and Mavericks).

    But to act like you’re better than someone else, and make it clear you think less of them, because of your choice in operating system is telling. As mentioned else where ITT it’s like the console vs PC master race crap you get in gaming communities - it says more about the insecurity of the person trying to elevate themselves than anything else.


  • x-frame-options is a HTTP header (an obsolete one, too - use Content-Security-Policy instead) - a frontend framework isn’t able to set that. Back end frameworks can, and probably should - or at least give you the option to with a default enabled value.

    While WordPress could be configured to set it, it probably shouldn’t do it in the PHP - the installation guides should be telling you how to do it in Apache HTTPD or Nginx, with a fallback to doing it in PHP if changing the server config isn’t available.



  • It has been ages since I installed Windows 11. Does it require (as in, you can’t continue without) an internet connection be enabled at an earlier stage in the installation process?

    If not, then MS can patch all they want, if you have the installer on a USB drive already, they can’t force you to update it and the installer won’t fetch a patched OOBE installer with the internet disabled.


  • If you really need to use Windows

    What if I want to use Windows for many reasons? I mean in cases where Linux could work, but it is a personal preference?

    I get you’re trying to help with your suggestion, but the way you started that comment isn’t needed at all - it stinks of elitism.

    You could have just said:

    Another way to get Windows without all the bloat is to install it using a Windows long-term service channel release.
