This will make Windows 11 a target for hacker and government agencies, since this will be treasure of data. Windows already is bad at security. Let's see how this backfires at Microsoft.

Google rolled out a retooled search engine that periodically puts AI-generated summaries over website links at the top of the results page; while also showing off a still-in-development AI assistant Astra that will be able to “see” and converse about things shown through a smartphone’s camera lens

What worries me the most is that this AI hype is coming strongly to the smartphone market too, and we don't have something solid like Linux distributions to change to and be free

The last Windows computer in my house was my wife's, and she's been extremely happy on Fedora Gnome for the last couple of months, asking me why I didn't tell her about it before (I did, lol).

my girlfriends like fedora gnome too. I do all the technical stuff anyway so she really doesn't have know to know that much about the os she uses

Same here. The only tweak I had to do was set up Flameshot, my wife finds Gnome's screen shot app lacking, and so do I.

The only thing we run different is office. I set her up with OnlyOffice because of the similarities with MS office, but I prefer libreoffice.
