I may replace Windows as my daily driver with Linux.

This is the worst timeline.

I see lots of love for Linux in the comments which is awesome, but is there anyone considering making a hackintosh out of their machine? Is that a good route to go these days?

All I care about with the start button is the search function. If this didn't fuck with that, sure.

Okay. If 12 is coming out why would anyone go with 11?

From "Windows 10 will be the last windows" to this.

Up next, windows 13 is cloud-based only, thus requiring constant internet connection

Wow. I was just taking a break from an ethics assignment whether Copilot is ethical to use while developing code, and then I see this post.

I believe Copilot is mostly ethical to use in development, as a tool. This is just Microsoft trying to force Copilot into a place where it wasn't meant to be and will lead to so much wasted electricity.

It's like taking the MVP in Baseball and forcing him to play Tennis and expecting good results against Tennis pros. Stop shoehorning good AI tools into the wrong places that are better equipped using different tools.

Define "may"? This is like writing, car manufacturers may replace tires with triangles.

So glad I'm using Linux for my gaming needs.

Edit: typed the below is a response to someone else's comment, but I thought it would also be good for me to say in here, to elaborate on my initial comment.

--

Fedora/KDE, Steam, Bottles.

Fedora for the quality support and stability of your Linux distro, Steam for, well, Steam, and Bottles for non-Steam games, that still lets you launch those games from inside Steam.
