I'd like to try Linux for real one day, I've hap hazardly tried it a few times over the years but ahh fuck it. I barely have time these days to do shit that I want than worry about switching OS's, maybe when I retire one day or kids move out. Probably too late then, MS will have all the data on me that everyone is so concerned about.
I've had to use some W11 virtual machines for school. Absolutely miserable user experience, both for everyday tasks and power users. Just.. why?
This happens over and over again with Windows so I don't really take any of these articles seriously. People will migrate to either 11 or whatever comes next. All the kicking and screaming in the world won't be able to stop them. How long are tech folks going to repeat this cycle?
Hell, i refuse to move off win7. And given the eavesdropping behaviour of my laptop even after a deshittification scrub, that's not gonna change any time soon.
Had to get a new laptop for work. Came with Windows 11. It's fine. I actually like one feature it comes with that windows 10 doesn't have. I went through the rigamarole of uninstalling all the nonsense and stopping tracking (yeah, sure I did), and all that. It's a pain. I did it with windows 10. And 7. And I'm sure I fucked around with XP. I'll fuck around with every windows I get.
My PC is windows 10. I won't upgrade. When I build a new one, who knows!
When I got my new laptop I spent a full hour just trying to delete edge. It's still there, but I think I managed to disable it's auto update.
