I am mostly a Linux user (surprise, Lemmy!) but recently started a new job. Given the choice of a Windows laptop vs a Macbook Pro, I took the latter, despite my long-time distaste for Apple.
I do not, even in a work setting, even want to touch Windows 11 in any recurring capacity (yes, I did try it -- at my last role).
Longhorn (pre-reset) was my last version of windows back in 2004. after that mess, i refused to ever go back.
The name came from the bar in Whistler, BC... might give a little more insight into the development team...
Shit TIL. I was up there a few weeks ago.
i know.
fyi, WindowsXP was codenamed "Whistler". Windows 7 was originally codenamed "Blackcomb", but that codename was later dropped. Windows Home Server 2011 was codenamed "Vail".
the MS team has a history of using ski resorts and related names as codenames for windows betas.
Oh yes, I'm well aware but couldn't remember what names connected to the proper OS. I've always had the joking idea in my head that the names came from a project manager who didn't actually do anything except daydream about where their next paid vacation was booked lol
Whistler Blackcomb was the name of a resort that the Windows design team used to on retreat to. They would also go elsewhere, as I’m sure you can guess…
Windows 11 was codenamed “Sun Valley”
Windows 7 was peak Windows experience IMO, and to follow it up win Windows 8...
I still remember my first windows 7 install. I remember my wallpaper. It was winter. I rocked a digital blasphemy snowman wallpaper. Shortly after, doom 3 was released. The amount of counter strike I played on there was problematic. I remember installing like a game desktop where it was an fps and I could arrange things and walk to different rooms of a house which were just folders of shortcuts and shit. Lol. It was neat for a bit.
So nostalgic now.
I consider Windows 7 the last good version, but I still consider Windows 2000 to be when Microsoft was at the top of their game.
If you have to use windows 11, use https://github.com/rbleattler/BloatyNosy to clean it up.
Be really careful as that can open up security holes
And if you are not the most tech savvy, read through the options to make sure it is what you need removed. Removing everything might break some things, because M$.
I can safely say that removing the telemetry is absolutely essential. Remove it from Firefox, and (ew) Chrome (ew, ew) alongside Windows telemetry because fuck that shit.
The only reason I still have Windows are a few games that don't work properly on Linux (via Steam Proton) yet.
I will keep Windows 10 until Steam no longer supports it or all my games run well on Linux (I check for that occasionally). IDGAF about no longer getting security updates as I have moved everything except for those few games to Linux years ago.
I multibox a certain game and that is something proton simply can't handle. It's only designed with a single game in mind so each instance runs it's own layer which quickly eats up resources that are never freed up.
if I'm ever forced to upgrade my base system I guess the first thing I'll do is try my game in a windows VM
And really, it would have worked. Too bad the suits and marketing got bored
