and just in case there's about to be a rush of MNEH MNEH THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD RUN LINUX INSTEAD OF ICKY WINDOWS:
1. if i wasn't too fucking disabled to be constantly running that level of tech support for myself, i'd be out working as a tech support person instead of being disabled, you absolute numpty
2. when i googled the problem the answer for unix was 15 steps more complicated and involved multiple iterations of command line prompts.
@InspectorCaracal also that lol!
genuinely windows is the best option for the things i am using this for (i want a laptop to play games with my friends on, and so help me god, i do not have the patience to fight with W.I.N.E. in hand to hand combat constantly), i just want to head off any fossbro whining at the pass since a lot of them like feeling smug far more than they do helping anyone or anything in this world
