    I helped my son install Windows 10 on a spare SSD for Fortnite. His first comment after booting into Windows: Why is it so ugly?

    After the novelty of playing Fortnite wore off he’s back to Linux.

      Honestly gaming on Linux is so good these days, it’s almost on par with Windows there. Really the only major games that can’t be played are due to anticheat rootkits… which are a security nightmare anyway.

    Work “upgraded” me to Windows 11 today. So fun learning how to do the same thing as always but with a much shittier workflow.

    You joke, but I attempted to set up a Windows partition back in January so I could play some games on Game Pass, and made it nearly a whole two hours before I wiped the partition and vowed never again.

    There were ads on the login screen. And that was just the start! I haven’t seen so many ads on a desktop since the early 2000’s when I used to fix PCs infected with spyware for people.

      Did you just rawdog the home version or something? You gotta use at least some protection man! LTSC Pro install, some debloat scripts… anything but a straight install.

      Lord knows what you could have caught!

        Problem is, there are no good debloat scripts. It’s all written by amateurs who don’t know what they’re doing, messing up the system in subtle ways that then take ages to figure out.

    “Ima install windows server edition since I like the C API and I can learn regedit stuff”

    (The most undocumented nightmare imaginable)

    “Never again”

    Seriously how did I have harder time connecting to my home wifi than I did connecting to PEAP encrypted university wifi on open fucking bsd.

      Microsoft hides how their server shit works behind their certifications

      Source: I’ve been taught how to use Windows server edition by people who got their certs. I assume it’s somewhat a joke, but cannot be certain

    Back to work today. Signed into my windows machine. Had to agree to 3 privacy policies to read my emails/use Edge.

    Have the XKCD as a wallpaper to remind me of ‘home’.

    I use fusion 360 on windows 11 for work. Then i come home to my linux and it feels right

    Windows 11 is awful i hate the UI the ADS and spyware. I debloated as much as i can but i need fusion for CAM/CAD. I bring my lenovo laptop with debian 12 incase i need to do something other than CAD. Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux

      I mean, Fusion 360 even runs in a web browser (although it was unusably slow for me). It should be possible to port it to the Linux desktop.

      Home users doing it is bad enough, but why the fuck is any business tolerating ads and spyware distracting their employees‽

      Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux

      Out of curiosity have you tried running it in a Wine/Proton environment? I’ve been able to utilize Steams “add non-steam game to library” feature to then enable proton compatibility on simple windows programs.

      Only gripe I have is with file-browsing in this scenario.

    So people most familiar with a system have an affinity to it? Colour me shocked. I expect Windows users would want to return to Windows for their own reasons.
