    I can picture the MS execs going “Shit, we still have 1,000,000 Windows users that are not feeding us their data every second, we’re not enshitifying fast enough. Step on it”.

      Honestly it’s probably an upgrade for O365 but people won’t want to hear that. It’s cloud based shit being integrated with a cloud based graphics cards being able to search and assist with that functionality. If we don’t want our shit on a cloud, we shouldn’t use O365. Copilot isn’t changing much. Their software took its course, just move to libre office and if there is a big enough market, someone will fill the gap if they don’t have the features they need from libre, but I don’t know of any I need.

        Well graphene OS I have been told isn’t the best, and saw an article earlier about people who are now being targeted in Spain for having a pixel and arrested so it won’t be long before that spreads. I’m hoping to find something else but we need mass support so it isn’t targeted while it not being a large corporation

        Okay so as someone in the U.S. that wants phone calls, texts, and apps of my choosing, what can I use. Because I have to assume every Google pixel will be targeted if they have already started in Spain. Trump’s a one upper

    I was dual booting for a bit on two computers but didn’t get too far away from Windows.

    Finally reinstalled only Ubuntu on my laptop. I use my laptop until I need something on Windows then figure out how to do it on Ubuntu.

    Got Syncthing running on both computers early this week to replace Box. Still need to see if I can run it on my NAS. Then need to get Back blaze sorted out.

    That’s enough for me to quit my last two dual boot rigs. Guess I’ll have to figure out how to get over binging 12 fitgirl release.quickly only to realize they all sucked anyway

      I’d wait for sales of your games instead. I tried one fitgirl release on EndeavourOS I had from my Windows days (which ran perfectly on there) recently. Tried with Bottles and Lutris and the latter worked eventually but the performance was subpar and it was quite a hassle to get it to run as I had to try many proton versions with a lot of restarts and black screens. Steam and Heroic games run fine though.

    I dare them to do it on my Pop OS! computers! I don’t even run a windows VM anymore.

    It feels liberating! No more Stockholm syndrome ✌️

        Major fear is corruption of the culture. There are corpos and cunts that would benefit from Steam stopping linux suppory which is a major adoption driver. Nvidia is supposedly a more difficult gpu/cpu to use with linux and the current duopoly leans heavily in their favour.

    Even though I have a free student subscription, I uninstalled all Microsoft Office last month because the constant ‘do you want to use copilot???’ was infuriating.

    Moved to Linux (popos on desktop, mint on ancient laptop). Been fine. Don’t miss windows. Play games and browse the web without issue.
