    No thank you. Startallisback to the rescue. Ghost spectre to remove whatever bullshit they put in this time.

    I’m not against progress, I just prefer my computer to leave the thinking to me.

    Microsoft why are you trying to pull an Elon and destroy your own brand, stop that – what, after all, has a dedicated keyboard key on Windows keyboards, and has for decades?

      They’re not. It’s just the author’s “creativity”. There’s no indication of plans to change the start button. Still, they could change the start button, which apparently warrants a misleading article people actually discuss.

        Well, my laptop’s already there, but i really don’t feel like dealing with system reinstallation on my games pc. It’ll be much easier for me to just stick with W10 for the next few months, and then jump ship, seeing as the upgrade i have planned won’t be using any components from my dekstop.

      Linux is my daily driver. I used to struggle with it but it’s on point these days. Proton takes care of 90% of the gaming issues.

      I can’t imagine ever going back to windows, I really can’t.

      Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.

          Insync takes care of that. I even use Insync on Windows PC’s as it’s better than native cloud syncing apps from the likes of Google and Microsoft.

      A few weeks ago when they made the search bar come back after I had told it to go away I switched to Linux. It’s weird the small annoyances that add up. It’s great so far. With KDE for the desktop environment, you can make it look however you want, including almost identical to any version of windows you want. It’s really quite usable, and generally I’m already faster and more comfortable with it than I was with windows.

    They fuckin’ do that and I’m out. Haven’t run Linux on the desktop since 2009, but it wasn’t bad back then and I assume it’s only gotten better. Meanwhile Microsoft has continued the enshittification of Windows and if I didn’t need it for dev purposes, I’d be more willing to pull the plug. All this “AI” stuff Microsoft keeps adding to everything is going to push me over the edge.

    They won’t. They do however want to stay relevant and will float things like this just to create talk about Microsoft and Windows.

    You know what’s really interesting to talk about? How fast it was for me to setup Chimeraos on a PC with an Intel GPU and hook it up to my tv and Xbox wireless controller USB dongle… First boot and I login to Steam and BAM! Grab that controller. Time for couch gaming

    Windows is nowhere near that good or easy as a game station for coach gaming.

    The more of a PITA windows is, the more willing I, and everyone, will be to deal with Linux. Lol.

        I think there’s a very real part of that which is because Microsoft charges for people to get certifications and how to handle their operating system. If it was documented really well and easy to work with at a low level, then they wouldn’t be able to sell any of their training would they?

        This is how I feel about every single vendor that I work with. Specifically designed to be obtuse and difficult to understand so that after sales services must be purchased in order for the product to be usable.
