Live captions is usefuuuuul.

I've liked Windows 11. Hope they don't degrade it by putting many unneeded ai tools in it.

I honestly think live captions is super useful too. That's why I use it all the time.

I open my vid in Vlc player then use the Windows live caption feature.

When I'm using Explorer I can't drag and drop files onto one of the directories on the breadcrumb bar. I either have to cut and paste or open another instance. I also can't add items to jump lists unless I allow showing recent files on the Start Menu.

Why tf do I have to spend thousands on new hardware to run a new OS that I don't want?

Fuck off Microsoft

I'm was not allowed to upgrade from them. I'm not going to throw away a perfectly fine pc.

Installed Ubuntu and I'm having a blast.

Win11 has excellent WSL support. Way better than Win10.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Linux supports WSL even better, practically native

And here was me thinking windows 8 was just a beta release of vista that was leaked by Microsoft!

I see you forgot about a gem called "ME"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

That needed a trigger warning

Literally just picked up a new laptop and immediately uninstalled windows 11. Drivers will be fiddly but it's already working fine.

I will never use the privacy ffest that is win 11.

Got my new Thinkpad T14S yesterday and immediately installed Linux Mint. I refuse to give in to the Windows 11 pressure.

Have you tried to refund the Windows license? (Assuming you didn't set it up)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Hmmm I couldn't get it to boot off the usb till I'd set up win11. I didn't know I could refund w11 or I'd have tried harder!
