#Windows users survey:
People using Windows11 and Windows10: which one do you prefer, and why?
Did you encounter any major problems with either?
(I know this is not the best question for this audience but I'm interested... feel free to boost!)
#Windows11

My girlfriend has a 3 year old Dell laptop with Windows 10 on it and that machine is just not workable, even opening a simple browser just takes like 100 years! Is that the standard now?
Tomorrow she will be forced to start using a Linux distribution.

Der Veracrypt-Entwickler kann die Windows-Variante seiner Verschlüsselungssoftware nicht mehr aktualisieren. Microsoft hat sein Konto gekündigt.

So, #microslop changed "My Computer" to "This PC" when they turned the OS into spyware, but when updates are installing, it's suddenly "don't turn off *your* computer".

Microsoft says it will provide the FBI with BitLocker encryption keys if requested for PCs that upload their key to the cloud via your Microsoft Account.

Me: *puts Windows testing machine to sleep because I'm debugging a complex issue and don't want to loose state*
Windows: "We've got an update for you!"
Me: *declines*
Windows, at 3 am: *wakes up, updates anyways*
Yeah, fuck that.

В мои школьные годы почти все сверстники умели делать простые видеоролики (накидать фоток под музыку). За это нужно сказать спасибо Windows XP.

#Windows11 will not compress a file with an apostrophe in the name, nor will it search for all files with an apostrophe. I fucking LOATH Windows. Fucking LOATH it.
All I wanted to do was archive files so I could fucking WIPE windows from my life. My sons' computer will then be free to be Debian.
Did I mention how much I LOATH Windows?

Imagine your #Windows OS was infected by stubborn #virus and Bill Gates applies a hotfix patch without your consent. Happened to all of us at least once, am I right Melinda?

1. Submit a pull request to #zlib that changes the library filename on #Windows.
2. Pull request gets merged, and you effectively break everything that linked dynamically to zlib.
3. Attack everyone who reported this as a bug.

This is going to be a 'live-thread' of me trying to install a windows-like distribution of Linux, "ZorinOS", on my 4-years old #Lenovo

I heard if you install Linux, Microsoft stops spying on you. Sounds wild. Apparently, it even comes with this experimental feature called “a Start menu without ads.”

Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS
🤣
Unfortunately, the upgrade requires NPU processors, which will lock out millions from getting into the new ecosystem
So glad I don't deal with Microsoft any more. Thanks Valve and Steam for getting games and VR up to scratch on Linux so I don't have to have anything to do with this abomination.

#Windows starten ist #betreutesBooten (Wenn es denn überhaupt startet). Und dann erscheint da ungefragt lauter Werbung, bis hin zu Desinformation.
Dass Updates immer noch die Bootloader und andere Systeme zerstören, heißt für mich, dass es auch in Zukunft niemals funktionieren wird.

📊 Meine Top-4-Beiträge der letzten Woche mit den meisten Boosts sind:
1. #Berlin will sich langfristig von #Windows und #MicrosoftOffice lösen.

I was tempted to type sftp://... Into the location bar, but I'm not THAT stupid. I found an old 2tb usb2 drive direct copy is chugging at a staggering 3M/s. Hopefully done by breakfast.
update: now says 26 hours for 150GB. Did I mention I loathed Windows? This, of course, is a recycling of a victim box of #Windows11.

Can anyone recommend a new repairable Windows 11 laptop?
Not looking for advice on the OS. 😄
#repair #windows11

Windows 11 finally has a real sudo command (since 24H2) 🚀
Run admin commands directly in the terminal without reopening PowerShell as Administrator. Small change — huge productivity boost.
#Windows11 #DevTools

Finally, a new Copilot feature I find useful
#windows #copilot #troubleshooter #ai

Ok, so, I awake, the copying is done, I go to check, #windows11 says hey you haven't updated (in three years), would you like to reschedule? Fuck yeah, I say, gimme 5 weeks. Ok it says, I click to unmount the USA drive. Windows says its busy, I close all apps, still busy AND btw, your system is too old I'm-a gonna update you fucking RIGHT NOW!
I pulled the drive hoping NTFS doesn't trash the drive and I hit the power button. I fucking LOATH Microsoft.
