Gonna get to enjoy some reg edits on that machine then!

Edit: So I just looked at that machine that is set to take all new updates, and it doesn’t look to be installed like it is for that guy in the video. However, it looks like this machine hasn’t picked up 24H2 yet, which is strange as I thought it was meant to be worldwide now?

MS really can’t make stuff easy.

Imagine jumping through all those hoops because Microsoft sabotages your property against you, when your could just use Linux and have it respect your rights as its owner instead.

If you have any anti-cheat software on your PC, then the update is paused. Basically because it fucks it up.

With anti-cheat being one of the major things causing games to be Windows dependant, that is hilarious.

Windows users trying to make their adware delivery platform strapped to a program loader usable (I can install my operating system faster then they can install a program)

I’m just happy I only need to use it on one PC ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Linux users trying to get a USB device that isn’t a mouse, keyboard, or data storage working on their OS (the hardware drivers don’t support Linux)

I found the opposite. Even my obsure printer that needed tons of windows tweaks and drivers just worked on Linux.

The only device that needed help was a 6-axis 3D mouse. Linux saw it as a mouse/tablet xy input. But Windows needs drivers for it to function. They had a Linux driver for it, so I installed that to get the 6axis working.

Got an example? Because my USB MIDI music keyboard controller, smart card reader, USB guitar/mic capture device, and printer are working just fine.

Chances are, if it’s a major brand, or following any sort of standard, it’s going to work out of the box. This used to be a problem in the 90s and early 2000s. Not so much anymore.

Any devices, that do not work on any of my machines:

Any devices, that did not work out of the box on any of my machines and needed a seperate package (I use a distro without any preinstalled drivers): Fingerprint sensor, NVidia GPU (only for gaming, it does work just not very performant)

Any devices, that did work out of the box: Every mouse (including the PowerPlay mousepad), every keyboard, headphones, cameras, printers/scanners, touchpads, game controllers

Bonus: Android to Linux OTG networking in both directions

Any devices that do not work with Windows: Scanner, Touchpad (in the installer), Bonus: Intel Rapid Storage Technology
