Microsoft is working on a new project labeled Windows 'K2', intent on removing bloatware, reducing AI, and optimizing Windows 11 for gaming, with three focuses of 'performance, craft, and reliability'.

the issue is not about performance, is about enshitification. I mean, do we need TPM? do we need Microslop account to login our pc/laptop? do they really need to shove Copilot into Windows?

We really need more alternative private non-stock unionized companies in USA made to go against Big Tech

That's really what it comes down to. Better alternatives across the board

    Yes. If the community can win this hard ad-hoc, imagine the glory of buying from a dedicated employee owned vendor that provides a full stack solution with a support contract.

    There's nothing (legal) the enshitifiers could counter with.

    And even when they go full illegal (and they always do), there's more of us common folks who want a good product and a fair wage, than there are of them (exploiters).
