you want it running all the servers only, then?

I am still gaming on windows 10 pro. I am not downgrading to 11. Windows 7, and 10 is the sweet spot for windows, except you can't play steam games on 7.

I think it's less that they're not allowed to use their brains, it's more that AI is letting them "write" so much code they can't possibly review or test it all properly.

I use Arch btw.

That's not true. XP is awesome!

No, read the article

That's true to a point, but I feel like Microsoft should have the budget and infrastructure to properly test their releases. A bug every once in a while? Sure. Multiple serious bugs that break major features every year? Pretty embarrassing.

If there's internal file names why the fuck can't I rename a file while it's open in a program?

This operating system is garbage from a design perspective let alone its implementation

End task on explorer.exe and then run it again

File explorer is a shitty thing

Windows update managed to get a system I only use for gaming into an unrecoverable state a few months ago. I know a bunch of windows sysadmins, trust me, you've been lucky, stability this year specifically is dogshit.

Also bitlocker has multiple backdoors which is a problem for corporate that I really cannot overstate

Bless your heart.... Never go into IT and for the love of all that is holy, don't get a system admin job... The world is a beautiful place until you're knees deep in the shit

I didn't downvote you (for a couple of reasons¹), but I just wanted to share my experience: I've been playing games exclusively on Linux for a couple of years now, and it generally works well. Of course it depends on what games you play, and so your mileage might vary, but in some cases I even had a better experience on Linux than on Windows. Mostly due to not having to deal with windows shenanigans. (drivers, reboots, the usual).

But I agree with you that these stories are indeed overblown. Current Windows, with all its problems and everything, is still much better than any previous Windows. I'd still avoid it if I could, and you need to do things to make it behave sanely...

[1] The reasons: the downvote is not meant to be a "I don't like this", nor "I don't agree with this", but should be used to signal bad comments: spam, trolls, noise... Plus, I don't think what you said is wrong.

I’ve been gaming on Linux for a bit now. I did just run into a series of games my group plays that all break Linux for the sake of kernel anticheat; which was unfortunate.

We may see that change with the popularity of the Steam Machine, but the boost will probably be smaller than the Deck.

Yesterday the settings app crashed because I pressed the back button.

Today Windows started shutting off for absolutely no reason at all, just gone. Normally I would say ram, psu or memory. However the same computer runs Linux just fine. I resolved the issue by removing windows from the computer.

I installed windows 11 the other day. I found out that I am not allowed to use my actual name as a username. The operating system is actually racist.

Everyone who uses windows is just coping at this point.

Many people are weirdly helpless about computers. If you've ever tried to help someone with tech, you've probably encountered the

• "it didn't work"
• what did it say?
• I don't know it just didn't work
• but what did the error message say specifically
• I didn't read it

Kind of user.

Microsoft acknowledged a bug in the June 2026 update that displays internal file names instead of real names in Recycle Bin confirmation dialogs.

They didnt, this was basically fake news. They broke a string in a dialog that shows in certain cases.

I hate windows and Microsoft a lot BTW.

It has been like this since long before coding LLMs.

That happened already without vibe coding.
