Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
You people are fucking crazy and will literally find anything to fight about. Normal users don't care about this sort of shit and it's the thing that turns people completely off when they inevitably run into a problem with Linux.
This has nothing to do with any of kind of Linux problem.
It's just Luddites crying because Linux is moving on from outdated flawed software that has a bunch of unfixable problems.
Same shit happens with windows, my guy. "WHAAAAAAAA MY WINDOWS XP/98 WHAAAAAA", at least it's often partially valid for windows...
Luddites are not exclusive to any particular OS.
If someone is having a Linux issue, they just need to ask. Literally just ask me, or the vast major of other users, we'll literally provide better tech support than Windows will ever have.
yeah I've seen the windows support forums, every official response either misses the point of the question or the answer is straight up wrong.
What gets me is the replies like "just wipe it & reinstall the whole thing".
Yeah right, like I'mma spend an entire hour wiping, reformatting and reinstalling Windows, then varying additional time reconfiguring everything for a problem that likely has an extremely simple solution but they're too lazy to gather the necessary information to actually solve it.
Assuming that the Windows installer doesn't fuck up and I have to restart the install process again, which has happened to me several times.
At least Linux takes 5-10m tops to install for the user friendly distros.
Even I, a Linux user who's spent hours upon days debugging kernel issues for my hardware can see how fuckin stupid that shit copout advice is.
Yeah, I don't know why they devolve back to tribalism. I just installed the thing and the programs I had to use and just...kept using it since I didn't want to pirate windows xd. No need to shout to others what's my favorite fake non Unix distro or anything.
This is not tribalism.
This is people crying because Windows moved from 95 to 98 for comparison.
Xorg has a plethora of unfixable issues, and people are mad that we can't & don't want to stick to it for all eternity, crippling the hell out of Linux growth & innovation.
I just hope they get rid of the ancient stuff to make the neckbeards seethe xd
