    I do feel sorry for them, but they can only lift themselves up. I can't really do anything to help. Linux has never been easier to set up than today. But it will always be a bit of a hurdle to make the switch.

    Talk to your PC is just going to be Denholm Reynholm from IT Crowd.

    I am very pro Linux and have been trying to migrate all my system but I got to say:

    I installed windows 11 LTSC and disabled automatic updates, it’s not good but it’s also not this bad.

    If your wondering why, pirating games isn’t very seamless on Linux yet,

    The pirates I know personally all have dedicated PCs to gaming. So none of them care about any files being stolen, or things like that. That’s not many people, so I cannot say it’s some good statistics. But I believe it’s true for many. If I’d pirate games (I’m not a gamer, and I see no point in not buying, if I’m going to play just one game casually), I’d do the same. Since my work PC is plenty powerful, I’d rather use it, but switch disks to not allow Windows to see it. (However, they are encrypted anyway.)

    On the other hand, if the games would work on Linux, I’d rather go this isolation way. Sounds just many times easier to me.

    Personally for me, i no long find pirating worth the time to set things up. The only recent good titles are mostly indi, and they are quite cheap. You can also find ultra cheap offers on not-so-old 3A titles. Also, my backlog is already 6-7 times longer of the rest of my remaining lifespan, so i have quite a bit to chose from.

    Indeed. And honestly, for example GOG classics are worth to support and also come with the added benefit of being usable on modern systems out of the box, with emulation readily setup if needed.

    It's really easy. Linux Mint. Bootable USB. Back up your important files on a separate harddrive. Plug in USB. Reboot. Install. Port old files over. Good as new

    Bonus points for looking into how to optimize your partition structure, but it'd be fine to just let it do its thing. Also like... I guess you should probably make sure your audio and video cards are supported, but they like 98% are

    I will not use those services. I think im willing to give up any service except email. And if Im forced, I guess I will identify for email since its critical to have. But its all ridiculous and part of building dystopia.

    That's not the same at all though. Complaining about AI "features" being shoved down users throat, and AI being used by developers are very different things.

    Both can be complained about, absolutely, but they are completely different things.

    If Microsoft was using all artisanal human written code to deliver all the AI crap, I wouldn't be complaining about it any less.

    Let's enjoy making fun of Win 11 until we can't.

    Yes, for sure.

    But we will eventually clean up our AI slop code mistakes. I'm not so sure if Microslop will or not. It might not be profitable.

    Also, the good thing of open source software is that anyone can clean off any bullshit code.

    But can you clean it up faster than AI can create new bullshit code?

    If some idiot don't automatically add AI slop and the developer have the actual time to check the new code before adding it to the distro release, then sure. Is not like they are forced to run pushing new updates full of slop just to make the investors happy and having the whole sistem flooded with bugs.

    ...I mean, who would be so stupid to do that? 😁

    Three of those are the same thing (AI features) and all are easily handled through group policy.

    You are using a version the has group policy right? Spoofing a Pro license with MAS Grave takes roughly 2 minutes from opening the website to finished, on a slow connection.

    It's even easier if you don't set up a Microsoft Account during install of the OS. You did take the 30 seconds to look up the current bypass when you started, right?

    It's even easier than that if you just don't use Microsoft Office. Open source office suites work fine on Windows.

    Of course, Linux is the easiest way.
