Bill hasn’t been associated with Microsoft decisions in like 15 years. Yes he still owns a shit load of the company, but he’s not the CEO, he doesn’t even sit on the board. He sits in his 16,000 square foot lakefront Medina, WA mansion and gets richer.

Public consciousness skipped Ballmer’s CEO era and apparently Satya’s name is too difficult to remember.

@Steamymoomilk recently had to do a clean win 11 install. Spent a day trying to get the Intel RST driver loaded just to begin install. After trying various sources including the recovery media from manufacturer had to take it to a few repair centers(many claimed bad SSD even though I explained what driver was needed) to just install the OS it came with.

Same laptop have installed a half dozen linux distros with no such issue.

Not just installing. When updating, sometimes it tries to reset the options and change my default browser to edge.

It resets everything, including a bunch of tracking shit you intentionally turned off.

Edge would ALWAYS get on the way with its stupid search bar widget. They tried to improve their shitty outdated piece of crap internet explorer that nobody was using and they ended up with a modern shitty piece of crap that is edge.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
