Switch to Linux!
From Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/1as1yjk/microsoft_in_their_infinite_wisdom_has_replaced/
Win+d, I wasn't even aware there was an icon for it. If it's not the date, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or VPN, I'm all keys
Jesus Christ I already don't give a fuck about 11 because they're just moving shit to move it, getting rid of useful features is infuriating.
Is that a default-ish tray these days? It looks like a complete mess.
The ENG US is only shown if the user has multiple languages. As for the icons to the left of that, the user has manually chosen to always show them instead of having them in the overflow area. So it is a bit cleaner by default.
Linux. You'll be glad you did.
Free. Easy to install. Never gets viruses. Never crashes. Rock solid.
Runs good on old machines. Runs like lightning on new machines.
I've installed it for 3 old ladies (3 separate installs). They like its simplicity and low-bullshit.
I personally use Debian with a Mate desktop.
macOS here yay, the ui is sooo good
Windows is seriously worst mix out of the three options. The only thing it has is legacy programs support and it’s not even a pro just a feature someone may need
And VR gaming yeah unfortunately I am not sure anything will replace my gaming 4090 7800x3d rig soon. Unless I will just get bored with it.
Worst thing is windows isn’t even better for gaming. It’s just better because it’s what devs release for because everyone uses it. It would be so much better on Mac or Linux, you know actual modern systems instead of the convoluted windows frankenstein one has to go back to to run the latest drivers.
I am almost ready to sell the rig and finally say goodbye if not for VR
I'm so glad I switched to linux
i'm glad i did too, but i do not like the trend toward immutability and flatpacks
just don't use them like the vast silent majority, they are not going to become a universal standard
For every distro that’s immutable and using flat packs you’ve got 2 distros that rail against this. There’s plenty of Linux people who can’t do with immutability so there’ll be plenty of distributions that don’t use these concepts.
Personally, for a computer for your non-techie family member I think these concepts rock.
I still don't even see copilot on my win11 machine. I'm up to date as far as I know. Am I supposed to have it by now?
I disabled it immediately so I don't have these issues as well.
They're still rolling it out. It's only in preview builds for now, you have to register to basically participate in beta to have it by now, and that's no guarantee.
