Windows is being re-written from the ground up to be 'agentic'. This means that Copilot is not going to be a feature of Windows, Windows is going to be a feature of Copilot.

Oh, and Copilot is going to be writing the code too. Microslop brags that 30% of their code is AI.

Mac is going to shit too, which is so sad since that transition to ARM was a huge success. Their OS is ridiculously janky dogshit now. It’s not Microsoft level bad but it’s heading in the same direction.

I’m glad I finally started switching. The Linux stuff is more annoying in some ways but in predictable and therefore manageable ways. Mac=there is no war in bag sing sei. Windows=I have altered the deal, pray I do not alter it further.

My office jumped ship at XP, it was that bad. We went to Linux because getting work done was actually more important.

So many things finally caught up, we did a lot of server client things with the Linux stack for field offices.

Now they call it the cloud. Which means it isn't your server.

XP started the enshittification and it continued year after year...

I've got till 2032 I'm good. Then I'll switch to Linux which will hopefully by then be better than windows at running windows games.

I just use Wine and feel good. Feel good!

I'm migrate my notebook to Linix Mint, perform way better than Windows 10.

I'm trying to figure out a way to transport my modlists from MO2 in Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim to run on Linux, once this is done, i goodbye windows forever on my personal devices

Dude. American here. FUCK Windows 11 and fuck Microsoft for being what they are. Damn unethical pushy creepy bastards.

People aren't just rejecting it and staying on 10. They are actively downgrading (going back to windows 10) or leaving the windows ecosystem entirely for Linux. Someone actually went out of their way to tally up and explain all the shit MS broke over the course of the last year. It's a ridiculous number of things.

I just installed Linux Mint last weekend. Working great so far!

Mmmmm, not according to massgrave. You get 4 years more.

Use Linux, get freedom

I'd still be on 7 if they didn't non-consensually update my machine.

Hopefully SteamOS Desktop is released some months before then, so that people have a comfy Linux to welcome them.

I think people hate win11 outside of Germany too. Lookup how to switch win 10 to iot ltsc (aka alphabet soup) I did this quickly and easily with the only issues being desktop icons rearranged (take a screen grab reference Prior if you care) and unfortunately my automatic updates don't work for some reason (I've seen rumors about drive parti on issues maybe being the reason) but I can download and install updates manually still until 2032.

Been daily-driving Linux for several months now. There are literally zero critical workflows that I can't do just because I'm not on Windows.

40% of things I use my PC for are browser-based. 40% have an equivalent FOSS app. 10% are Windows apps that run fine using Wine. The other 10% I can live without.

Im on the WIndows 10 Extended support. I'm either going to risk staying on 10, or move to linux. The big problems for me are 1 ) Visual studio doesn't run on linux so I'd either have to learn a new editor or do a VM... I suppose 2) Gaming. A lot can happen in 8 months for improvements. But this might be the thing that holds me on Windows for a while. Saw a video of native Dota2 on linux runs like shit. 3) A solid remote desktop replacement. One that's as good or better than what I'm using.

Get off American monopoly tech. The desktop is the easiest.

A GNU/Linux desktop has endless advantages and doesn't include the anti-features.

Linux, in some form, runs a lot of your life already, even if you don't know it.

If your a tech, you really should deeply know Linux/UNIX anyway.

But they so generously extended their blackmail ultimatum date support!! Why won't people switch? It's so weird. Don't they know that MS CEO Satya Nadela ($1.1 Bil) has their best interest at heart, always?

I'm not exactly rejecting it, but I can't afford to build a new computer that can run it till the AI bubble bursts.

On my gaming PC I never signed up for any sort of Win10 extended support but it still wants to update regularly. Did they just give up and give the extended support to everyone?

Damn, that sucks. When does my Arch support end?
