The only thing that I can tell happens every update is that I have to tell my start bar, yet again, to show all program icons instead of hiding them. Individually. Oh, and Skype occasionally decides it’s important at startup again.
Almost forgot! My computer also randomly forgets how to sleep until updated.
Shit, I thought I was the only one whose computer has forgotten how to sleep. I ended up reinstalling the whole thing to get it to sleep. I don’t have the mental capacity to troubleshoot my computer to find the root issue after dealing with dumbass clients and my toddler.
When I had a surface, windows hello and my pen would just stop working if an update was pending. Windows is always fun in this regard.
Can I interest you in Linux?
Linux has my interest when I don’t have to jump through 50 hoops to use something as basic as the Paint.net program.
sudo apt install krita
One hoop
Oh look, a “solution” that doesn’t fit the problem description.
If Sheeple wanted an alternative, they would have asked for one.

What do you do that you need paint.net specifically?
Genuine question, it’s been a long time since I’ve used it, so I’m not very up to date on what it can do
Pixel art and spritesheets! It’s just the tool I have years of experience with and feel the most comfortable with. I tried to switch to other similar tools, however the mild difference in processes causes me to honestly be unable to adapt.
In theory I could use a different program. In practice my brain just goes “me no likey” and my creative energy dies.

Oh, I feel you on that one. When my goblin brain doesn’t want to cooperate, it doesn’t want to cooperate, not much I can do about that.
I am already interested. My next laptop will b a Linux.
Are you aware that you can already dual-boot it? So you can install it parallel to your Windows install and use both
The easiest way offers Q4OS (Debian base), it has an Windows installer, you can install and desinstall it like an normal programm, it get rid of the system and you can use it along with Windows or in Dual Boot.
No, link pls.
Take a look at this step-by-step tutorial => Tutorial FreeCodeCamp Dual Boot
Thx
Another cool thing is Ventoy. Install it to a thumb drive with a bunch of different distro ISOs, and you try out all kinds of flavors of Linux with installing them.
username checks out
Cool, then you can do what every linux user is doing, reinstall it!
Linux updates: here’s the whole new desktop, GUI, appstore, start menu analog, and you can now summon a demon to do your bidding (no gui yet, you have to use the terminal until next update)
Linux update: Changes little number in neofetch
also breaks every possible driver
but hey, you can do them without a full restart most of the time :)
only when you update your kernel could that happen. But then you can always return to your old kernel.
ik. but in the end i had way too many problems with linux on (probably) the worst machine ever made for it so i had to switch back to win*ows
i’m talking like, nothing i did helped raise my battery life past 2h on any linux distro without shutting down the GPU and half of my CPU cores. switching to windows brought it to 7h without compromise…
Aw dang. My condolences.
Your kernel probably wasnt suited for your system. For example I need to use a specialised Kernel to run Linux on my Surface Go, otherwise it overheats :D
yeah. sleep didnt work and it boosted fans to max most of the time
if you find/know of any good ones for a lenovo legion 5 pro, please share hahaha (ryzen 5 6600u, nvidia 3060)

some mentions of „battery saver mode“ and nvidia gpu misbehaving with old driver.

windows would probably work out the box and will likely never fail like linux does
you can now summon a
demondaemon to do your biddingBut only if you fork it twice
big Sept 26 Windows 11 update, does not have Taskbar never compress option. So sad, the only thing I want is still missing.
In completely puzzled, why would they not have that feature? Also why is everything centered in the middle of the task bar now by default? Microsoft sure makes weird UI decisions.
Just to make it different enough to make consumers think that they’re getting some big new OS. See the right click menu changes for another example.
Apple
Do a diff, find all the one days!
Optimizations? Fix known issues?
new obscure BSOD for the most lucky fellas
I run insider so I get GSODs… sucka
Nah some notes most people could ignore would be nice. I have no idea what that machine is doing half the time but it’s certainly nothing positive.
new ad rotations
Ooooh they spin now?
they spin now!
Woohoo!
You can read the patch notes if you want to see what’s in the update just like linux.

More surveillance and telemetry 😊
“We increase the disk/ram consumption, reinstalled edge for you (you can’t scape) and added a few ads somewhere. Have fun!”
I’ve never had issues with windows not honoring settings after an update.
Then you are incredibly lucky.
I use it daily too. So I guess I am extremely lucky or just comfortable with the defaults.
More probable is that you actually have knowledge about Windows that isn’t 15 years old like the majority of Linux fanboys on here.
Yeah I’m finding out that lemmy attracts a specific type of person. That sort of person seems to use Linux over Windows.
1 small security fix and 10 more spying software
Only 10? They’re being gentle this time.
What major feature is bring removed next update?
They lubed us up first.
and a partridge in a pear tree
The update isn’t important. Being under the Totally Trustworthy™ umbrella of Microsoft is what’s important. You don’t need to see behind the curtain.
Honestly, that what businesses want because it checks off a box in their cyber insurance application. They don’t care as long as their ass is covered.
