Friends don’t let their friends use a Microsoft products

It depends why I need to use it.
To help someone on their Windows computer with an otherwise unrelated issue? I just help them. Pushing Linux unasked all the time just pushes people away. Better keep it for when that is a relevant answer to their problem.
If my boss decides Linux is no longer an option? I would fiercly contest it, but if that’s to no avail I would seriously consider switching jobs. Even outside worries about loosing sovereignity I simply won’t be very happy working on Windows every day.
I see no reason of this happening at my personal devices. If something doesn’t run on Linux I just don’t use it, same for hardware that’s incompatible with it. Worked well for years now, never felt like I missed out much.
I would use it to download Linux.
Same but I will use it to download freebsd
EDIT: because I misspelled freebsd as ferbsd so I use EDIT to fix my spellings
fair enough
I have to for work and I’m genuinely considering putting together a presentation about how big of a HIPAA problem it is for us to have ai integration everywhere.
I’m pretty sure that can be disabled with Active Directory shenanigans and whatnot. I have to use Windows for work as well, in a HIPAA-compliant manner, and I never see the constant AI integrations that people often complain about in Windows. I know our IT team heavily modifies and manages our Windows environments for us.
I have to for work, most of my job is in the cloud but I still find myself going “fucking windows goddamn shitty operating system” every once in a while. And man when I do have to use powershell damn is that shit ass
Cry inside
Imagining if trusted computing became legally enshrined and windows was the gateway to the internet. Would keep my use of it to a minimum, perhaps to fulfill work obligations, do taxes, pay bills, etc. and save anything that didn’t need the internet for another machine running Linux. I’d also consequently make much greater use of my hoarded media and ebooks.
In that case wouldn’t we just make local networks with our family, and then maybe neighbors. Just have a network that’s not connected to the Internet but still connected to each other. I think we’d just have couple of programming tools, make things, and still use computers, but just the way it was in the beginning, and with everyone making their own things.
Maybe there’d be people using long distance communication protocols to make something that is not the current Internet. Unless that becomes illegal. But can radio waves be illegal? We just need to transmit data somehow
I can’t imagine why I would.
I use windows 11 for work as a linux/hpc admin, as it’s a mostly microsoft shop. Most of my work is done in a wsl almalinux terminal, which works fine.
The most important things I’ve done to make the rest of it more comfortable all come from the powertoys suite:
- fancyzones, to replicate a tiling window manager (I really hate floating windows)
- workspaces, to group apps and window placements so I can easily launch mail/chat/terminal/browser into predetermined places, etc
- keyboard manager, to set up shortcuts to everything
- run, for a keyboard-driven launcher
With all of that, if you squint and don’t think about it too much, it’s almost like a dreadfully slow sway desktop haha
Probably be mildly grumpy about it 😆
The first thing I did when I had to move to it at work was install ExplorerPatcher.
It’s amazing.
It makes the experience much more like win10. I couldn’t cope without it.grab a knives and some sticks and make things instead.
fuck microslop
