I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a "Skip"/"Don't remind me again". Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I'd expect not to be bothered again. It's really a built in ad more then anything.

That choice between Remind me in 3 days or Accept shows the compete contempt they have for the user.

Also that idiotic "let's finish setting up your computer", as if Microsoft is your friend helping you out.

Guys you need to stop using this software. Why do you think so many fan boys are yelling about linux all the time? Because it's fantastic these days.

Install. Linux.

Yes.

Yes, install Linux, yes, it's better, yes, it's a little different, but yes, you will like it better.

Bloat ware? Gone. Antivirus shit? Gone. Spyware? Gone. Reboots for bullshit reasons? Gone. Forced updates? Gone.

Yeah, but it's so complicated and games don't work because there are no drivers!

Bullshit. Drivers exist now for just a out everything and most drivers are put of the box, not like windows requiring installs. Most of not all games now work.

But I needy software X!

Many, not all, but MANY software packages out there have open source equivalents that many times are equal or better than what you're using. If not that, Wine will allow you to run a huge amount of windows software transparently on Linux. YMMV of course but "I need software x!" barely has been an excuse anymore for using windows.

Did I mention it's actually free, no piracy involved (though if that is your thing, lots of software available for that too)

Windows sucks. Microsoft software in general sucks. Microsoft platforms suck (looking at you there, outlook, teams, office, and SharePoint, oh my frigging god what pieces of shit you are)

It's not always so simple. I would love to use Linux at work, but my work doesn't allow me to.

I understand some people need to use Windows for a variety of reasons, but I switched to Linux a while back and love it so much

Laughing from Linux. Fedora, PCLinuxOS, OpenSUSE- all of Linux is laughing 😃

[–] Sused@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

My answer is "no" to each of those

Is there a way to get Windows 10 Pro on the LTSC update channel yet? IoT Enterprise LTSC gets updates until 2032, after that's over I guess I'll have to switch to 11... in a VM running on Manjaro

[–] einfach_orangensaft@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

So glad i ditched windows a decade ago and never locked back once. What a shit show

Comments like these from Linux users are the equivalent of going on a car maintenance community where someone has said "I'm having a problem with the brake lights on my 2021 Hyundai i20N"

And replying "Hi, I have a Renault Clio and I don't have that problem"
