02:23 Windows 11 is failing right now
05:20 What’s the job of an OS?
06:51 Updates break systems. Often.
10:53 You have to adapt to it
15:14 It’s highly intrusive
17:44 Debloating tools don’t make it good
20:19 Windows fails at being an OS
21:33 Alternatives are better, but not perfect
27:23 Windows is a sales platform, not an OS
It sucks. Install Linux. Move on.
The only reason why people are stuck with Windows, is because developers (mostly video game developers at this point) actively make it impossible to run their apps anywhere else.
And yet it’s at 71.34% on the Steam survey :(
We need OEMs to push Linux more, where are all the Steam Machine copycats?
Struggling under the weight of inflated RAM and storage prices.
71% seems like a low number, it’s first in the last few years Linux have begun having OSes suitable of gaming - Without having to fiddle a ton, convenience is what made Windows win gaming.
Stuff is slowly turning to Linux, but unfortunately does big organisations lock themselves in with Microsoft and Apple. It’s fairly common for universities to advise against having a Linux PC for study use cases. Due to their underlying suppliers and whatever their contracts state - Again, convenience.
Hopefully Germany and France manages to make a proper cloud based competitor to stuff like OneDrive or Google drive, as they’re looking into removing American based licences in their public sector. It would make most European orgs consider the same, just having OpenLibre with a cloud subscription could honestly untangle a lot.
Hmm, our central services are mostly open source based, I think. Hard to measure.
Yes, everyone uses the ActiveDirectory to login, even some Linux users, but most web-based services rely on Open Source. Things like Seafile and OnlyOffice is used more and more. We have BigBlueButton as a working alternative to Zoom. My workflow is completely Linux-based. Many colleagues could switch, too, if they want to.

“Windows 11 is great if you don’t value your time” …or privacy, sanity, morality, or just your hardware in general.
Meanwhile loonkeks fucking crashes while installing new driver in lords year of 2026
you would crash too if you try to shove trash into your ass despite all warnings it’s not supported or is beta as fuck.
Remember when Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows because we had the Internet and live software updates? I remember!

Actually, no.
That was one Microsoft employee, speculating on his own during a press interview. It was never the official position of the company.
(Plenty of legit reasons to hate on Microslop. No need to bring up debunked shit.)
Before it was debunked, it was “common knowledge” for several months that Microsoft was representing Windows 10 as their last OS, the start of rolling releases that mean you never really get a new OS, you’re constantly getting a new OS. The story kind of faded and the debunk didn’t really reach “awareness threshold” until Win11 was announced.
10 and 11 are both rolling releases, which many Linux Distros have adopted as well, and with the pace of update and patch distribution lately most OSs have at least some of the flavor of a rolling release - 1313 patches from Debian under DSA-6528-1, and new DSAs every few weeks.
10 and 11 are both rolling releases
Eh … isn’t the whole point of a rolling release that it doesn’t have version updates like that? In a true rolling release, you never need to reinstall to upgrade to the new version. If 10 really was ‘rolling release’, then there would be no need for 11.
Everytime I have issues withy work laptop and “compliance”. The debug info says my Windows 11 laptop is running Windows 10. So, Microslop doesn’t even know WTF is going on.
It’s tried to be so many other things it’s got schizophrenia.
