But they let you move the start bar again, so there is that at least.
One just has to appreciate the amount of money Microsoft keeps spending to Linux advertisement.
Right? If they had just kept windows as “fine” I probably would not have made the switch to Linux. Inertia is powerful. Now I’m full Linux time and have no regrets. Pop!_os with the kde desktop is fine
I love how they keep announcing they will scale back AI but actually just continue forcing it on you.
Fuck microslop

Has microslop pushed out a single update for Windows 11 that didnt cause some kind of catastrophe in one way or another?
I forget that I have Windows on my computer which I can always dual-boot to. Linux just feels much smoother and not as sluggish in comparison despite copule of the kinks it has but that’s more me being a Linux noob.
Of the around 8 computers in my house I am down to just a single Windows machine and every time I see an update queued I wonder just how much worse it will be after the update is applied. How many new bugs, reset settings and user hostile shit will I have to put up with this time.
I hit the point a while ago of just setting my connection as metered so it doesn’t download any updates. I know it’s less secure, but I just want to use my computer and not spend hours fixing problems they create with every update.
Here’s how you can pick when you get Feature Updates, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#deferfeatureupdatesperiodindays
Huh I use this link btw, achieves the same thing
I still have windows on my work computer, it prompted me to install 26h2 yesterday, so I did. Immediately, windows explorer started showing buggy behavior. Win+tab flickers on and off repeatedly, explorer restarts itself… Fucking hell, and then they say AI code is good.
So… A normal Patch Tuesday?

Ah yes and they made this notification icon more annoying so you think there’s updates but they just want to sucker you into early installation.
Well, for that it just got a few weeks of delay. And maybe later Linux install.
