I literally cannot think of a better punchline
Edit: See it for yourself
Bitch I can't even find basic settings cuz they are so hidden in sub menus
I'm no programmer or UX designer but I can imagine what a mess things are on the dev side
As an admin it gets so much worse. Twice a year your admin portal gets renamed, redesigned, merged with and/or split from another one, or removed, and all those changes are done halfway.
Which means some settings are only on the old version and others only on the new. Then the old one is discontinued even though the new one doesn't have all its functions, yet.
So you completely rely on Powershell. But wait, there's 2 incompatible versions of it now.
I'm currently thinking about a career change, after reading in Microsoft's official documentation that you need to install the new version of Powershell, import the beta version of several commandlets and then run a long script provided by them, only to keep every user on your org from creating their own Teams teams.
And their newest feature is allowing every user to put in their credit card info and buy MS products on the company domain without running it by IT. It's called "self service", enabled by default, and you have to click on a slider to disable it individually for every. single. product. Microsoft. offers.
Jesus Christ.
I've been doing linux admin and honestly I haven't been looking back. My breaking point was Microsoft pushing a kb that rebooted domain controllers for no reason.
I still remember the update that sent domain controllers into a bootloop.
That was fun!
And the one that bluescreened all Windows servers.
No, the other one!
Oh, and the one that did an in-place-upgrade by itself, then locked your server cause it wasn't licensed for the new OS version.
If we can generate energy from outrage, /r/sysadmin could've powered the whole planet multiple times in the last 6-8 years.
I love how this doesn't even begin to cover bad kbs ms pushed out. The fact that windows admins think testing updates before deploying them is a routine operation that should always be done boggles my mind.

LMAO that is a special kind of pathetic
It's maddening, cause it's so blindingly obvious what went on in their minds when they implemented it that way.
"If just 0.1% of the users do that, it'll make us $XX million. Can you design a popup for it that we can show all users when they open Teams?"
It tells me as an admin that the software I manage as my career isn't designed to be useful anymore. It's only designed to extract the maximum amount of money.
It also tells me it's time to get off this ride, cause Microsoft is evidently pushing towards a future where they administer the system, not me.
Corporations can't live without bullshit, the irony of this shit is next level
I had just hit the button on a recording session last night, and a fucking full page "ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE EOL OF WINDOWS 10!!" (paraphrased) popped up over my DAW. Yeah, I'm prepared alright Microsoft. I've got a flash drive with Linux ready to install if you keep pulling shit like this. It's going to suck because a lot of audio software developers are garbage with Linux support, but if Windows is just as garbage, there's no reason not to migrate.
For audio specifically you might find FreeBSD easier to set up. As a DAW, not as a desktop in general.
ALSA+PulseAudio\Pipewire+JACK are kinda messy compared to newpcm+JACK .
Reaper is available for Linux. I can't vouch for it as I've not used it on there, but I've used it on Mac and it's great. Generally well regarded and is pretty inexpensive.
Go DAWless. Buy a Synthstrom Deluge for example. Still need a DAW for recording and mastering though :/ I wish there was Ableton for Linux. "-if you keep pulling shit like this" I can tell you without a doubt they are just going to intensify shit like this instead of stopping. I'm thinking of switching my main pc to Linux and use my old win10 pc disconnected for DAW. No viruses and hackers when there's no internet. No Microsoft ads either.
If I could make a suggestion, try already swapping to FOSS while ok windows to make the transition to linux easier on yourself. That is what I did, and it did wonders to help me become better acclimated to Linux.
You could also see if you can run DAW on a VM in Linux or see if your software is supported with WINE. That way you could potentially just run the windows application in Linux without a VM. Most of the time, a "Silver" rating is enough, but a "Gold" rating or above is recommended.
You don't want to run a DAW in wine or VM. Also, I'm familiar with Linux environment, I just can't live without Directory Opus (mainly) which is a big reason for not switching my main OS away from windows. Also, I've had loads of issues working with my NAS from Linux. In Windows network drives are just visible, in Linux not. Getting access has been a major pain, mostly I haven't been able to get it running with my RasPi. Every time I try a tutorial online I do every step exactly as shown but the result is always different and I get errors no one else ever had (unable to find a solution).
DOpus is one thing I can't really understand why is not ported yet. It comes from Amiga anyway, I understand they might have done a lot of OS-dependent things since moving to Windows, but it should be doable, no?
I just sent them an email begging them to look into a Linux version :)
It's good to bug them about it, but last I checked they just didn't want to.
The most open ports
The most open CVEs
The most open complaint threads
Windows 🥇
Linux has way more CVEs: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/
(Partially because they don't respect CVEs and assign CVEs to everything)
Measuring number of CVEs is not a great metric anyway.
Linux is open source, so people can find more things wrong with it and fix it.
It just means that Linux users and developers are more diligent in finding and removing vulnerabilities.
When one backdoor closes, three more open.
This just reinforced my will to continue with the linux evangelization.
unfucking believable... they are saying the quiet part out lout now
the least private operating system
We, at least in the US, are living in a "post factual" world. So this makes perfect sense. Like when my kid was small and everytime he thought he "lost" at something he would declare it Opposite Day. Fuck it, why not? M$ being the most open OS makes no sense, so it makes total sense. War is Peace^tm^
