  • Both OS are hard if you don’t know how to use them.

    Both OS are easy if you know how to use them.

    Linux’s problem is fragmentation. There’s not a single OS that many people are familiar with like Windows. Instead there’s hundreds of different distros that all function in a variety of different ways. Even if a person learns to do something on Mint or Ubuntu, they will be completely lost trying to do the same thing on Fedora or Arch.



  • XP fucking sucked. It wasn’t good until service pack 3.

    You skipped 8.1 which was the good version that fixed the stuff that sucked about 8. It’s existence is almost completely forgotten.

    Then Windows 10 came out and it was bad.

    They then had about a 10 different OS builds that all had the Windows 10 name instead of giving each build a new name or calling them service packs. The OS that exists now (22h2) has almost nothing in common with the OS that came out in 2015.

    Windows 11 has also had several major leaps since that name started. What’s current (23h2) is much much different than the OS that came out in 2021.


  • The reality is that it broke "something* in certain lpt2/ipsec connections using certain authentication protocols, although they haven’t yet specified which particular connection technologies are affected.

    However this does not mean that a blanket affect of ALL VPN connection not working is an issue.

    So far we are unaffected on clients using ipsec and PAP protocol authentication, nor connections using Anyconnect (aka Cisco Secure Connect).

    I have also not seen any affect on private VPN clients such as PIA or Nord on machines that have this update.

    I suspect what broke was clients using MSChap, Microsoft’s own protocol for authentication for VPN clients.
