They figured if they make Win 10 just as bad as Win 11 people will finally switch over.

Obligatory Linux plug.

I migrated the day before yesterday. A company can only feed you hot logs, straight from the factory, for so many years before you tire of pretending the taste is acceptable.

I dunno, I'd eat Costco hot dogs all day every day.

Preach, brother. I wouldn't live long, but I'd finally live happy

They really do have outstanding tubesteaks

YEEEEEEY! THIS IS SOOOO COOL! SUCH A FEATURE!!!

god i hate Microsoft.

[-] Beaver@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 weeks ago

Microsoft wants everyone to suffer. Even the smarter windows users.

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago

You would think they make enough on their corporate licenses to cover the cost of home users and whatever piracy still exists.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 19 points 3 weeks ago

There’s no such thing as enough in this capitalist wasteland.

[-] luciole@beehaw.org 6 points 3 weeks ago

Gotta chase that perpetual growth.

[-] Beaver@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

I was sucker back then as I paid for a home license for $165 cad though I rectified the mistake by donating more to Linux projects all together

Office is what pays the bills. Everything else is icing on top.

[-] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Smartest users are already using OpenShell and don't have anything to fear, at least from this change... for now...

[-] als@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 3 weeks ago

Linux is free btw

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 16 points 3 weeks ago

Every day that passes, I feel more validated in my decision to no longer use their OS.

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 weeks ago

God damnit. I have a W10 drive left because SteamVR is still a little clunky on Debian.

I really hope valve comes out with a new release of SteamOS for desktops, the Steam Deck version is damned near flawless.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

There's been a lot of positive buzz about Bazzite.

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'll have to look again, I thought it was abandoned.

Thank you kindley Microsoft, It is what I crave! I need it like the Microplastics I got installed in my ballsack.

[-] WhiteHotaru@feddit.org 9 points 3 weeks ago

Linux looks more and more like the better choice. Some more reasons here despite the ad annoyance: https://www.xda-developers.com/reasons-linux-good-gaming/

[-] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 9 points 3 weeks ago

I think the various debloat scripts (Chris Titus etc.) should take care of this.

Obviously this remedy is just harm reduction.

Going forward I will be maining various Linux distros and using Wine/Proton compatibility, or TinyWin10 on a VM, for any tasks that absolutely require Windows.

[-] PenguinTD@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

I checked the website, so it's like a micro scripted app compilation?? Does the thing is a run/tweak then close, or does it needs to reside as a background service/task?

[-] IDew@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

You start with a fresh Windows install and run the playbook on it. It's practically a one time script

[-] zecg@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Geez, MS, it's a place to filter a list with a few keystrokes and/or click a link or punch enter. It's such shit ad real estate you're just pissing off people about to discover nobara or this for nothing

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Ahh loves me some classic shell

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

At least I could install Windows 10 in QEMU. I think I'll go back to Win7 for VMs then.

[-] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

And i just switched my last windows 10 machine to linux 🫡🖕
