They figured if they make Win 10 just as bad as Win 11 people will finally switch over.

Obligatory Linux plug.

I migrated the day before yesterday. A company can only feed you hot logs, straight from the factory, for so many years before you tire of pretending the taste is acceptable.

I dunno, I'd eat Costco hot dogs all day every day.

Preach, brother. I wouldn't live long, but I'd finally live happy

They really do have outstanding tubesteaks

YEEEEEEY! THIS IS SOOOO COOL! SUCH A FEATURE!!!

god i hate Microsoft.

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Microsoft wants everyone to suffer. Even the smarter windows users.

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

You would think they make enough on their corporate licenses to cover the cost of home users and whatever piracy still exists.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There’s no such thing as enough in this capitalist wasteland.

[–] luciole@beehaw.org 6 points 2 months ago

Gotta chase that perpetual growth.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Office is what pays the bills. Everything else is icing on top.

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was sucker back then as I paid for a home license for $165 cad though I rectified the mistake by donating more to Linux projects all together

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Same, I bought 7 and 10 but have since put more into Debian, Wikipedia, Archive.org and some other projects than I will ever spend again on a Windows license.

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Smartest users are already using OpenShell and don't have anything to fear, at least from this change... for now...

[–] als@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 2 months ago

Linux is free btw

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 16 points 2 months ago

Every day that passes, I feel more validated in my decision to no longer use their OS.

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago (4 children)

God damnit. I have a W10 drive left because SteamVR is still a little clunky on Debian.

I really hope valve comes out with a new release of SteamOS for desktops, the Steam Deck version is damned near flawless.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's been a lot of positive buzz about Bazzite.

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I'll have to look again, I thought it was abandoned.

Thank you kindley Microsoft, It is what I crave! I need it like the Microplastics I got installed in my ballsack.

[–] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 9 points 2 months ago

I think the various debloat scripts (Chris Titus etc.) should take care of this.

Obviously this remedy is just harm reduction.

Going forward I will be maining various Linux distros and using Wine/Proton compatibility, or TinyWin10 on a VM, for any tasks that absolutely require Windows.

[–] WhiteHotaru 9 points 2 months ago

Linux looks more and more like the better choice. Some more reasons here despite the ad annoyance: https://www.xda-developers.com/reasons-linux-good-gaming/

[–] PenguinTD@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I checked the website, so it's like a micro scripted app compilation?? Does the thing is a run/tweak then close, or does it needs to reside as a background service/task?

[–] IDew@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

You start with a fresh Windows install and run the playbook on it. It's practically a one time script

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Geez, MS, it's a place to filter a list with a few keystrokes and/or click a link or punch enter. It's such shit ad real estate you're just pissing off people about to discover nobara or this for nothing

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Ahh loves me some classic shell

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

And i just switched my last windows 10 machine to linux 🫡🖕

[–] 30p87 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

At least I could install Windows 10 in QEMU. I think I'll go back to Win7 for VMs then.
