Everybody saying this is why their products are shit are really confusing me. It's not like Microsoft just started being terrible. They've been terrible for a real long time. Way before AI was a thing. This is just a symptom of Microsoft's awfulness not a reason for it.
The AI is not the reason their software is bad, but their software is bad for the same reason they’re claiming to use AI to write it.
Ok, it's like this.
Ms used to release shitty stuff. And they'll continue to release shitty stuff except now it'll be 30% more shitty.
There were alpha versions of windows 8 with less glaring/annoying bugs than windows 11, though
Windows 11 is so terrible so far that if I'll need to use Windows 10 for dev reasons, I'll either pirate the extended support patches, or use a shitbox (obsolete PC for optimization purposes) disconnected from the internet. I do fear that I might have to hack a GUI onto LDB or GDB, because I got too used to RemedyBG (I'm already using Kate).
My windows 11 gaming machine has done all manner of fucky stuff, including permanently losing desktop icons seemingly at random and just whole ass refusing to open the file explorer for six months.
You can install Dolphin file manager on Windows. File Explorer has sucked at least since Windows 11 was released.
I'm just saying, it's the most basic program there is for a user-friendly OS, how do you launch to market with a fucked up file explorer? And nah, we're going to Linux once they start pushing windows 12.
Why wait?
I'm waiting to make a pc upgrade and buy new storage, then I'm switching.
Mostly because when I switched my personal machine, there were a few small, weird issues with everything from not being able to do multiplayer on indie games to the grass, and only the grass as opposed to everything green, being blue in Baldur's Gate 3. Working through those problems didn't bother me, I've got the gumption and patience for it, the rest of my family does not. I'm giving the game industry a bit more time to smooth things out before I move the family gaming machine over.
