    Makes me glad I used ReviOS to disable windows update (and I also have no OneDrive or Edge).

    And that’s only for when I actually need windows, my daily is cachyOS.

      I am still gaming on windows 10 pro. I am not downgrading to 11. Windows 7, and 10 is the sweet spot for windows, except you can’t play steam games on 7.

          I’ve worked at a company that used windows server and IIS for their internal hosting. Holy hell am I glad I haven’t had to touch that piece of garbage since I left. How can anyone take that mess seriously as a webserver?

    They… they broke the recycle bin, eh?

    So you’re just not allowed to delete files anymore?

    … I guess that would give them more AI training data and also make people need even more storage so… sure, fuck it, why not.

      It didn’t breakbbreak it just bugged and stuff with internal names od the files and real names and that. Even if it did break users could just use the console but I’m not expecting anyone on wintoes to do that.

      I think it’s less that they’re not allowed to use their brains, it’s more that AI is letting them “write” so much code they can’t possibly review or test it all properly.

    Meanwhile, I’ve seen zero of these issues on windows 11.

    Windows sucks, fuck Microsoft, but stories like this are insanely overblown. It remains the most compatible way to play games without hassle.

    I’m rooting for Linux, though. Can’t wait to switch once it’s more widely accepted. Right now I just use it for a few specialized machines and purposes.

    Inb4 downvotes and judgements from obnoxious Linux fans.

      Windows update managed to get a system I only use for gaming into an unrecoverable state a few months ago. I know a bunch of windows sysadmins, trust me, you’ve been lucky, stability this year specifically is dogshit.

      Also bitlocker has multiple backdoors which is a problem for corporate that I really cannot overstate

      I didn’t downvote you (for a couple of reasons¹), but I just wanted to share my experience: I’ve been playing games exclusively on Linux for a couple of years now, and it generally works well. Of course it depends on what games you play, and so your mileage might vary, but in some cases I even had a better experience on Linux than on Windows. Mostly due to not having to deal with windows shenanigans. (drivers, reboots, the usual).

      But I agree with you that these stories are indeed overblown. Current Windows, with all its problems and everything, is still much better than any previous Windows. I’d still avoid it if I could, and you need to do things to make it behave sanely…

      [1] The reasons: the downvote is not meant to be a “I don’t like this”, nor “I don’t agree with this”, but should be used to signal bad comments: spam, trolls, noise… Plus, I don’t think what you said is wrong.

        As someone who is forced to use Windows for work, this is just not true. It is SO MUCH SLOWER than Windows 10 or 7

          I completely agree. I had to “downgrade” to Windows 10 (I cannot have linux on that computer, sadly), because 11 had just so many simple bugs, that affected everyday use very badly. Everything works so much faster with 10, the taskbar shows all programs, no file pictures change sizes like a disco light, and I can even read the file names on the desktop. I have used most of the consumer Windows versions, and never before have I had such a broken interface, that just kept breaking in different ways every update. And these were not “early issues”, this was last year.

      Yesterday the settings app crashed because I pressed the back button.

      Today Windows started shutting off for absolutely no reason at all, just gone. Normally I would say ram, psu or memory. However the same computer runs Linux just fine. I resolved the issue by removing windows from the computer.

      I installed windows 11 the other day. I found out that I am not allowed to use my actual name as a username. The operating system is actually racist.

      Everyone who uses windows is just coping at this point.

        Only the windows 11 users. Windows 10 is still getting security updates, and the rest works fine. If steam changes its requirement to only windows 11, I would be switching to linux.

      I’ve been gaming on Linux for a bit now. I did just run into a series of games my group plays that all break Linux for the sake of kernel anticheat; which was unfortunate.

      We may see that change with the popularity of the Steam Machine, but the boost will probably be smaller than the Deck.

    What annoys me most about Windows is the deletion mechanism when process else has a file; I can’t delete it no matter how many times I try, and I have to reset the computer, lol

      That’s true to a point, but I feel like Microsoft should have the budget and infrastructure to properly test their releases. A bug every once in a while? Sure. Multiple serious bugs that break major features every year? Pretty embarrassing.

        Didn’t they go through a lot of effort to not have to have many testers?
        They have rolling releases and preview channels for regular users to bugtest for them.

            I usually see the reverse. People who work with computers making every effort NOT to need to help.

            My favorite is a friend who does techsupport for a datacenter. He always asks “wait, this computer you’re having trouble with, can you lift it? Would you say it’s smaller than your fridge? Oh, sorry, then I can’t help you”
