The company that’s obsessed with putting popup tutorials in every fucking app and os function? Ambient my ass, stop lying.
ambient: we will do things without asking
pervasive: we want to be everywhere in your life
multi-modal: and by everywhere we mean FUCKING EVERYWHERE
“hey guys, you have complained about our latest software, and we heard you. Our next release will literally rip out your genitals and you definitely can’t hide from it. 👍”
Wtf kinda language are they speaking? None of those words should be used to describe an operating system.
They are vibe coding on a higher level bro.
Vibe coding must be the easiest job in the world.
And most of all, even more invasive.
This guy’s got to know pervasive would come off bad. Ambient bad too
Never been happier to be 100% on Linux.
Switch about 6 months ago, so happy to read these articles and shrug at them now. I gotta say it’s weird there’s only like 2.5% of us
Microsoft could literally make “gargle the balls of Bill Gates” a login requirement and the masses would still use Windows.

So they’re shutting down Windows 10 after telling everyone Windows 10 would be the last windows operating system, and at the same time as them doing that they’re telling everybody that Windows 11 won’t last very long either, and they’re going to replace it with an AI nightmare.
Great marketing strategy.
I actually like this strategy, they’re taking hope away from people who think Windows alternates between good versions and bad versions by announcing they’re going to follow up a bad version with another bad version.
For some reason, corporate just can’t stop itself from slaughtering its own golden cow.
God I love Linux …

What? Why would anyone want this?
That was my first thought, like what the fuck, I don’t want my OS creeping on all my shit.
It won’t matter, they will serve slop and most people will happily eat it.
A lack of even basic technology literacy hurts everyone so much. Most people have zero clue how their stuff works and zero interest to learn. Its easy to manipulate an ignorant population as we see again and again.
My favorite simple example is “do you shit with the door open? No? OK then privacy does have value–for all involved.”
That is a lot of words to say it will be shittier and have more ads…
I would recomend Linux mint, but the main thing, get used to the openscource alternatives for your programs you use now while you are still using windows. By the time you swap to linux, you’ll just have to get used to things like using “sudo apt install ****”, appimages and snaps. Just some things that are different about linux. Also I wouldn’t worry too much about trying to use a “gaming” distro. With some elbow grease pretty much any distro can look look and feel the same. All that matters is witch distro starts closest to what you want.
Dear Microsoft.
Your operating system only exists because I have a need to click and type into business things in a quiet office.
Please stop fucking this up.
Question. Can’t you get around all this shit just getting win pro?
I still hate to give any $ to microshit, but if anyone wants to use popular software or play new games they need windows.
It will be true if people are unwilling to put in a little effort to demand better or stop using windows.
You want your games to run on something else? Don’t buy them until they do. Sadly, most people are 100% unwilling to delay that instant gratification and sacrifice even the smallest convenience.
That’s how we got here. You cannot expect change if you are unwilling to do anything to make it happen.
This is why sloth is a deadly sin.
100% , people are lazy as shit so there is no hope for linux until every single thing runs perfect without the user ever having tp touch a terminal or search a fix. Just how it is. I love to tinker, and thats why I love linux. But its not for the general population.
I exclusively use Linux. In fact I don’t even own a computer that Windows would install on, at least not without hacks or workarounds.
I also play a lot of games. In my experience only the trashiest of the trash games don’t work on Linux. Developers have to go out of their way and do extra work to make a game not run on Linux these days. I will happily play an indie alternative of whatever trashy enshittification-sponsored game won’t run on Linux in the increasingly rare situation where I encounter one.
People posting stuff like this either aren’t really trying or are pushing an agenda of some kind. Remember how random users you had nothing to do with would insult and fight with you on reddit any time you say anything good about marijuana but on lemmy no one really does that? This type of thing smells like that. I’m just saying.
Im sorry but many popular games wont run well on linux.
Maybe you only play single player ??
-Any battlefield game
-Valorant
-Fortnite
-Gtav online, likely gta6 will also not work.
-pubg
These are huge among young gamers.
And good for you! I only use windows at work where I have to. And I just yell my friends i wont install shitty kernel anti cheat games. But they will play them without us anyway, so really we lose.
Even if true, that doesn’t mean you have to put up with it everywhere else.
I dual boot linux. These days, I only boot an extremely neutered Windows for most games or anything HDR, but basically for nothing else. Honestly a lot of old Windows stuff works better in Wine anyway.
You and I do this, but 99% if the world runs on ms. They wont change. My friend says it sounds exhausting to do anything like that.
Fair.
And it’s the default.
Eventually, OEMs might find all this stuff is hurting sales and start offering Linux. I think that would be huge, as 99% of buyers will just stick to the default.
Oh for sure. I’ve had my SO look over at my mint pc (they are on 10 still) and go woah that is awesome!! So i am trying to convince them to change over. I really dont want any windows pcs on my network. But they use vr which still isn’t good on linux without a lot of work.
BTW you can share NTFS partitions with Windows and Linux, if that’s your SO’s concern.
I do this, and it works really well! This used to be an issue in Mint because its kernel was kinda old, but no more.
Obviously getting into partitioning is a lot of configuration for most people, but still.
no one wants to sit in their office talking to their computer verbally, its fucking awkward. Its cool on star trek as a means of exposition and plot, but not in real life.
Start fixing the actual architecture issue of Windows. An immutable base system and modular containerised app workflow might be a start, but we already have that in every other operating system
All those offices with open floorplans are just going to be a auditory nightmare, like some call center every single day.
