    Reminds me of when a friend of mine took a shot of Malort. We had nothing nearby for her to chase it with, so she used the Tabasco sauce on the table. And then realized she had made an awful choice, and dashed off to get some water.

    Sense I’m allergic to capsaicin, windows 11 please. Although it’s fucking horrible. I prefer not to spend the rest of my life in extreme pain and blind. :/

    I use windows for work, and I just had to update to Win 11 when I got a new PC.

    Jesus Christ I hate it.

    So many fundamental parts of my workflow have been disrupted. I have yet to find one change which I actually like.

    I thought they did a pretty good job with Windows 10, but this one is five steps backwards.

        I’ve got to say that the file explorer tabs are a great addition/comeback, and a vastly improved experience over the 90s incarnation where drag and drop was often hamstrung by system responsiveness (and could you even drag and drop to inactive tabs to activate them and bring them to the front back then? Don’t recall.) Using them in KDE Plasma at home , when i got a new win11laptop for work I was thrilled with many of the interface improvements. The telemetry and “widgets” are trash, though, as are the permanent ads in the windows context menu.

      Learning the shortcuts for multiple workspaces was a game changer for me in Windows.

      Win + Ctrl + D to create a new virtual desktop

      Win + Ctrl + ArrowRight or ArrowLeft to move to the next desktop

      Win + Tab to arrange all Windows and desktops

      Also dragging your window to the top to place it in a corner seems nice.

      At home I’ll always use Linux but for a work PC I can live with Windows.

        But imagine, if you could just press win+number and then go to the exact workspace you want! Which KDE Plasma allows you to do.

        I seriously cant get used to using win+ctrl+arrows. If i could change this, and with powertoys windows would not be that bad.

        Until you use a Microsoft office application and it is fundamentally broken with virtual desktops. If you try to open a document on one desktop it’ll switch to another if you had a different document open. There’s little glitches throughout the entire experience that make it so mediocre.

      I don’t know a thing about windows 11 but they’ll have to claw windows 10 away from me to force me to switch. Why would I even want to? Windows 10 works just fine and even that I only switched to because they fucking forced me. If I could I’d still use Windows 2000. I loved that one. XP was fine as well though. I don’t want to worry about my OS. I want it to fucking work.

      But an OS you don’t need to upgrade doesn’t generate money.

      The only thing, literally the only thing, that I liked from Win11 over 10 is that it can run x86 apps on ARM - I could play Final Fantasy XI (20+ year old game) on Windows 11 dual-booted from my M1 MacBook Air, when I had one.

      I mean between each good version, and now between each sub-decent version there is a shit version. Or 95 and 98 were both ok iirc and I don’t know about before that but 2000, vista, 8, and now 11. You have to wait for 12 when they make it marginally better but still worse than the previous decent one. But each decent one will be progressively worse still but the anger version exists between to increase acceptance of the next one.

        I think 12 and the forced ad experience will finally break that trend. 11 was enough to get me to only buy Mac and Linux machines from here on out.

        I don’t know what happened with the w10 updates, but I had 4 machines die simultaneously with hard drive failures. That’s it…the non gaming rigs got Linux.

          The updates have been especially cursed lately. The copilot showing up with auto update seemingly disabled including registry tweaks and the start bar search field coming back every update, onedrive and edge rising from the grave repeatedly. If I could physically beat the shit out of an operating system to make it behave I totally would, something I would never resort to for animals and most humans. Windows would deserve it.

          I’m already fully on Linux for gaming. I have a GPU passthrough vm but most of the games that require it end up being totally not my thing. It’s possible thay what I’ve called the layered deception method that also uses some Ms virtualization settings in addition to the kvm/qemu doesn’t work for fooling the anti cheats anymore though. I haven’t played any anti cheat titles in some time.

      I don’t do much on my computer any more. But even with my minimal use windows 11 ruined several key things that were fine from xp to windows 10. Things that don’t even make sense to be changed, biggest one is the alt tab.

      I work in I.T., and even after doing it a hundred times I still get lost finding the fucking network adapter page

        I can no longer drag files into the address bar to move files to the parent folder.

        I can no longer see the seconds by clicking the clock on the taskbar.

        File explorer search is still shit.

        File properties window is still fixed size, and cannot be resized.

            I had ONE hick-up with Nvidia drivers on arch in about 6 years. I needed to downgrade them initially when Valve released the new Steam UI. That’s been fixed pretty fast. When I’m thinking back it was the only problem I had with arch upgrades in its entirety apart from one that was completely on me: installing KWinFT which completely messed up some system libraries (but was repairable). Arch was nothing but rock solid stable for me.

              arch has been really stable for me too, the only things that ever happened on my pc has either been the clock unsyncing(probably errors when installing arch) or thinking an update of nvidia drivers made all the black parts of the screen glitch(my old gpu just broke down, nothing to do with the drivers)

          I’d say in the 10+ years of using Linux, and most of those have been with Nvidia. Maybe 5% of the time I’ve had an issue, half the time it’s fixed within a few minutes.

        Yeah. It was so bad that they didn’t even bother releasing and service packs, just skipped straight to XP. Then came Vista, which was also bad enough to gain the nickname Windows Me 2 (or Me too).

          Nah, Vista wasn’t even nearly as bad as ME, it was just released with hardware requirements that were too high and OEM manufacturers that installed it anyway on their low-end hardware.

          And of course too strict UAC, but that could be disabled.

          I think you missed the point here. By virtue of being proprietary and owned by Microsoft, windows can not be de-microsofted.

          By spending 30 seconds on the AtlasOS website, you can find that the first thing you see is “A modification of windows, designed for gamers”. AtlasOS is only a modification of a Microsoft owned Windows operating system.

          Anything else > AtlasOS > Windows

            AtlasOS is great wish I discovered it before doing it all manually. All it really does is apply group policy changes and config management, which is what any enterprise workplace will do by default. I have 15 years experience as a sysadmin in a mixed OS environment in the operation of critical infrastructure. We’re bound by intense regulations and audited often, and Windows is the workstation OS that we can easily manage security-wise. This is in contrast to the notion of Windows as a garbage consumer product, which yeah not wrong there, but people might not be aware of it’s compliance with industry standards and security regs. Which is a shame because that’s ultimately what’s evil about the MS approach to business, they create a problem for businesses and offer the solution.

              All good, I think we are coming from the same perspective. I misinterpreted the use of de-microsofted, I think with the context you are using it, it means to move away from Microsoft as much as possible within the WindowsOS, and the way I interpreted it was to totally rid Microsoft from Windows (which is not possible from my perspective).

              AtlasOS looks like a step in the right direction, but I think there are alternatives which move further away from Microsoft (I.e linux). But I understand that some people just aren’t looking to move that far.

      We need someplace to get rid of the windows complaints from people close to us or our own experiences when people expect us to use it.

      I do agree though that the joke is getting old but when you’re frustrated with windows this seems to be the place to let off steam.
