Other than “at gunpoint,” why are you still using Windows?

Skip today's Windows 11 update: it breaks cursor styling, resets wallpaper, and more
Joke's on them, I've been using Linux for nearly 27 years now.
Thanks. Will not switch from Gentoo to Windows today.
Man, I feel like I went 15 years without anybody talking to me about using Gentoo but now THEY'RE BACK! Glad to see you.
I have more interest in starting a WatchWindowsDie group than I do in going back to Windows, but it seems like the entire internet is already on the beat.
Windows will not die so easily. Two reasons: 1. Too much money behind and around it. 2. Sheer corporate inertia. 3. As long as there is no competition to the AD/Entra ecosystem, companies will buy it. Ok, three reasons.
I will counter all that with one reason:
Nobody trusts Donald J. Trump with their data.

Way ahead of ya, champ.
This is the Preview channel update. People that opted into it should anticipate issues.
No it isn't. I have a secondary Windows machine and I got that update without being on any insider channel.
Or, y'know, just install Linux?

there, I fixed it.
Gotta love that AI generated, reviewed, and shipped code.
Just when I thought Windows couldn't get worse.
Can't skip the update if you don't have any Windows installations.

For the people not using Linux in the comment section, you can't skip a Windows update. It's going to happen no matter what.
I mean I guess you can adjust the registry or whatever but 90% of Windows users aren't going to do any of that.
I could have done it and I didn't. I updated and now my cursor is all fucked up.
It's an optional update. It doesn't automatically install without activating the option to do so.
Thanks for the heads-up, I'll be sure to not update my OpenSUSE install to Windows 11 👍
LOL
Oh, Microslop... How far you have sunk.
Fuck Windows. 2026 truly is the year of Linux. Finally!
Another day... another windows update failure...

Install Linux*, Problem Solved.
*Make it Mint.
Genuine question: how the hell does this keep happening? Don't they have any quality control, any testing, competent management, quality engineers, years of experience, or anything at all?
They fired their QA department in 2015 relying on telemetry of users to diagnose issues. Then last year they boasted a third of all their code is AI generated. You don’t have millions of lines of code over 2+ decades and have a high quality standard of a third of that was generated in 2 years.
Easy work. Me and my Bazzite instance will keep on trucking.
