I love how these fuckers talk about the ability to "work anywhere" as if it were some kind of freedom. To me, freedom is shutting my work computer down at 4pm, leaving it on my desk at work, and going home - whether it is for the night, the weekend, or my vacation. I work at work and nowhere else; the only thing freer than that is not working at all.
Agentic, I fucking hate this word.
Almost all actual users hate this. Unfortunately, it is corporate customers that buy the majority of Windows licenses, and those C-levels gobble up that shit like there was no tomorrow…
It’s beyond “nobody asked for this.” People are actively saying “this is bad, I want not this.”
Blue checkmarks fund Nazis. It’s these fuckheads pushing Ai slop onto us.
Some other tech website did an article recently about how to unfuck windows as much as possible. Like four pages of tricks, registry edits, third party tools.
People in the comments were like "you know, Linux is free and is getting very user friendly."
People were mad. People really want to stick to windows.
No idea why. I'm running basic pop!_os and have no real complaints.
I was given a macbook at programming work and honestly, the battery life sold me on it.
And with that Steam Cube thing, I can't imagine anything Microsoft in my house.
Switching to Linux was so much less effort than I expected, and so much easier than trying to unfuck a new Windows install (which essentially requires pirating an enterprise version to have a chance), and then still have all of your data stolen despite best efforts. So, yeah, thanks Windows 11.
If you're stuck on windows, you should know, the new version of O&O ShutUp will help you delete copilot off your system.
Cheers.
IMO it's been Adobe really running the Mac vs Windows duopoly for over a decade at this point. If they made their software compatible with Linux people would have virtually no reason to continue using Windows.
i for one am very excited about this new "AI" pc idea. it will really help to streamline my job, where i spend 8 hours a day talking to Cortana™ and browsing LinkedIn™
Who is Pavan Davuluri?
And yet the other 90% of people will still be stuck with it.
These days I only ever log into windows to play one game. And I put that game as the windows wallpaper so it sits as a reminder as the only one thing windows is required for.
If that game ever becomes Linux playable or I grow tired of it or it becomes obsolete I’m ridding myself of Microsoft for good. I will never even consider playing another game that will not play on Linux. Any game in my wish list that I found cannot be played on Linux is immediately tossed so I never have to touch windows again.
Everything else: work, all other games, dealing with my life stuff, projects: all fedora. FOSS rules. The transition was easier than I thought it was going to be. No one drive or any of that $hit for me. And I also get to keep my old server. <3
