Well fuck that
Microsoft may replace windows 11 with Linux in my computer
Luckily steam deck has been teaching me how to utilise Linux. Then due to streaming garbage I've started using jellyfin and have ordered a micro PC to host it, which will have Linux installed for additional practice. My windows days are numbered.
Breaking news: I'ma replace windows with any version of Linux in 12 months
Way to increase usage of Linux, good job Microsoft
Building this into the OS is clearly unnecessary, there's obviously another motive here...sweet user behavior data?
UI/UX job replacement. And to get you used to using it so they can charge you for using it later.
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.
I'm here for it as a snobby Linux user. Let's see how much the average windows user is willing to let their experience be degraded before they finally tap out and try an operating system that isn't pure trash
I don't want to go back to Windows 8. Those were... dark times...
Idc, I'm on Linux now. I'd rather buy a Mac than install Windows again at this point (if I ever need to use software that's Windows/Mac only)
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.
Windows 12 is already a failure and it hasn't even been formally announced yet. Congrats Microsoft! You've successfully failed for the second time in a row to deliver a windows version that most users actually like even to the slightest bit.
I guess the actual YOTLD will finally arrive after 20 years.
Can someone just start making community updates for windows 7 and we can just use that when Unix is not a viable option
Microsoft will come to your house and break your knee caps if someone did that haha
Oh boy. That thing is the steering wheel of the Windows system.
I mean... Yea. Yea it is. They want to:
They're not even being subtle about it:
“The Copilot is like the Start button,” Nadella explains. “It becomes the orchestrator of all your app experiences. So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot, so it helps me learn, query and create — and completely changes, I think, the user habits.”
Everyday I'm happier and happier I have migrated away from Windows.
Ok hear me out.. what about it just... gets another button next to start, and maybe Ctrl+Win can activate it instead of the windows key?
I use copilot a ton to write me quick powershell scripts, to assist in sourcing information, etc. I don't like having to open edge browser then ipen the sidebar, then resize the sidebar, then select precise chatting mode, its a hassle, especially since I do not use edge as my primary browser (Libre Wolf).
I've got very mixed feelings about it. I DO want a fast button in my taskbar somewhere, ideally, but I want that to start a web session (with no local permissions) not a local session of any sort really.. I very much dislike the idea of Copilot constantly looking at my screen to figure out how it can help me (aka, sending incredibly specific metrics back to Microsoft). They already spend way too many resources on scraping my info up, and thebquestions I ask Copilot are already hyper specific and likely give away dense metrics about me that I can't imagine. But... fml it's SO handy.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
