Sadly it is not about learning Linux but getting the software you use on a daily basis natively supported by the OS, that is why Linux is still not there for me yet.
What do you use on a daily basis that’s not supported? I see this kind of comment all the time and nobody wants to tell me!
I use Figma (a UX design tool). It has browser support but I prefer the native app experience, I’ve seen there are Linux versions on GitHub but I heard they have some compatibility or performance issues sometimes and I need it to be 100% reliable as it is for work. I also use some Adobe products sporadically (Illustrator and Photoshop) FOSS software doesn’t make the cut for professional use, even if they do nearly the same, since you need standard industry tools.
I also like gaming and even though Linux is almost there (I love my Steam Deck) I see so many people struggling here and there and I really don’t feel like tinkering, I already tinker enough on Windows to get my games working properly.
But all in all I’m still interested in Linux and keeping an eye on it and might pull the trigger some day even if is only for personal use/tinkering :)
Microsoft office suite? Adobe, most DAWs. PCVR.
There are alternatives for some of these things. IMO libreoffice is good, but buggy compared to the MS office suite.
Some people were saying MS Office will still run in the browser though and that’s 90 percent of my use case these days to be honest.
Basically “professional software” that isn’t tech related.
There are fantastic alternatives that are (nearly) transparent for individual users.
There are BETTER alternatives for some software.
But working in a team/company that doesn’t prioritise Linux accessibility is painful. And it’s pain that people aren’t paid to deal with to complete their actual workload.
MS has corporate by the balls.
Keyloggers have been present since (at least) win 7. You’re all way too late.
The LSTC edition has a few more years in it… but I wouldn’t do MASS in a GRAVE… ehr, I mean - fuck.
Look, just search for “MassGrave” on GitHub.
On my Windows 11 machine I just uninstalled Copilot via the normal app uninstall process. Unless I’m misunderstanding, I don’t think it’s tied into the OS in any fundamental way. I assume most debloating scripts include the step anyway.
Kinda crap that it’s installed by default though.
Enjoy it while you can. Recall is going to be a hard dependency of the new file explorer because of… reasons.
This is false. Please do not spread misinformation.

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.
If you have any anti-cheat software on your PC, then the update is paused. Basically because it fucks it up.
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)
From what I understand others more knowledgeable than I am have said that person tried some nonsense where he gutted files from the OS that may have included dependencies for explorer.exe so if what Microsuck says is still true you can disable the screenshot function of recall and whatever other privacy settings you want and you’ll still be able to use your PC.
I really hope that’s true because I honestly don’t want to have to go to Linux and play IT guy constantly when I’m just trying to play a game or something after work. However much Microsuck sucks, windows almost always just works and the rare times I have an issue so many people use windows that I can easily find a fix.
I don’t wanna touch grass! Don’t make me! Lol
Linux isn’t that bad these days unless you want to use something silly and not supported by the manufacturers, like nVidia’s Optimus or other crap. Even then, the linux folks have it figured out. You can get step by step instructions for about any issue, even the complicated weird shit like Optimus.
Can’t wait to see what industries that handle sensitive data will do when Recall becomes an integrated part of Windows 11. They might have no choice but to migrate to Linux.
They will pay for enterprise licenses and be able to disable and delete it.
Only us plebs get whipped.
Exactly. Group policies give lots of control to mass enable/disable features.
It’s one of the reasons to pirate Enterprise Windows instead of Home/Pro, so you can write your own group policies for your own device.
Been doing that for the past 15 years or so, being able to use group policy is essential with Windows. I’m pretty sure my son really wants to upgrade his last computer (to Linux), but I may have more work to convince the wife.
I always just bought grey market keys (for Pro/Enterprise), in nearly 20 years I never had one fail or quit working randomly.
