You mean “fullscreen ads for Linux”
Hopefully this nonsense doesn’t affect the LTSC version. Using that has been a breath of fresh air - still Windows, less crap. Not even the store is installed by default.
It doesn’t. I doubt it will in the future, but its possible.
I still would recommend moving to another solution though.
LTSC?
Long Term Service Channel. It’s a branch that is used by devices that may not be recommended to be on the latest version of Windows, for example ATMs. When the device needs to essentially be consistently reliable and not received feature updates that could potentially break it.
Basically, yeah. Features don’t come out often but you still get security updates on the regular which is what’s important. Things don’t change which means things don’t typically break.
Yes, but the entirety of windows is crap.
Windows has ease on its side. I’ve never had to learn CMD to achieve basic tasks in Windows and that’s one of, if not the biggest point against Linux.
In my opinion, not entirely, the underlying NT kernel seems better designed than Linux.
Windows 7 was very good, later versions were turned into crap.Better how?
From what I read through the years, NT actually had design behind it, while Linux is a pile of improvised hacks roughly following an “ancient” 1970s design.
Of course that might be wrong, and I’m using Linux almost continuously on last year and it seems solid, the only annoyances being installing stuff, and things designed with 1970s mentality that forces the use of the terminal.Try OpenSUSE it has Yast2 GUI GTK. Graphical manager for packages, one-click install of downloaded RPMs from web sources. Full GUI for all system settings, services, etc. No CLI needed.
I only use windows at work
I sometimes use doors as well, or I get weird looks
I never seen a ad, is this because I debloated 10?
I also seem to have a fully housebroken windows 10. I know my PC has TPM, so it should be compatible with windows 11, but so far, it hasn’t shit inside
Got one yesterday. I’ve already made up my mind that I’m likely to switch to Linux Mint on my current PC and run that till it drops dead. Because I’m sure as shit not messing with or upgrading my three year old PC over something asinine like a TPM module. I don’t even want a new Windows. I like my PC just fine the way it is.
If Microsoft thinks they can force me to Windows 11, I fucking dare them. I switched to Mac before and I’m not afraid to switch to any other OS either.
I pirate a copy of Enterprise LTSC specifically to avoid bullshit like this.
Got it
I always Alt+F4 when they pop up, gets rid of them until the next time
There’s a very tiny option in the bottom left that says “keep using windows 10”
Blah blah blah
I always laugh at these comments. Edge is fantastic, same with 0365. But yeah libre is soooo much better.
365 is helpful, but feature parity between app and web app is not perfect, and files done in web have compatibility issues when somebody opens on app version. Also have had issues on collaboration where somebody left their laptop open with autosave on, so all my changes and corrections kept getting overridden whenever their system autosaved. Terrible implementation.
I run the team that does MSP and cloud services for 1000 people. MS365 works mostly great. This community is somewhat mistaken what non technical, gamers and business users value.
I personally pretty much stopped using Word Editors, and wouldn’t use a proprietary one if I did, but I recognise they’re still pretty important for the majority of people.
I worked with a company that used O365 last year. Was kinda underwhelmed. Desktop Apps still don’t really work well with simultaneous editing of a document, Web Apps don’t have all the features of the desktop versions (didn’t matter that much in Word, but was annoying in Excel).
I think that the online collaboration implementation of Google’s Suite is still a lot more seamless. O365 Desktop and Web stuff feels like a weird attempt to mix two separate products.
For most use cases I’ve seen, you could probably give the user any modern office suite, whether it be proprietary or open source, and they wouldn’t mind too much.
Independent of all privacy concerns, I personally just don’t like Edge’s UX, but I recognise that it’s a serviceable Browser.
I don’t think your experience is what most people experience. The vast majority of sharing issues is education on role and user based sharing.
If you understand the difference between a kink that works for everyone and the difference between a view only and edit permissions then it works just fine.
Lolol just upgrade.
MS has to constantly deal with this shit from users who refuse to install a damn patch.
Windows 11 from Windows 10 is not installing “a damn patch”.
Also Windows 11 is terrible. Along with Edge WebView2, the entirety of the O365 suite now (see Edge WebView2), etc.
An upgrade would be wiping the machine to install Linux or buying a Mac.
Not only that, but hundreds of millions of PCs can’t ‘just upgrade’ because Microsoft has arbitrarily blocked them from doing so without resorting to hacks in order to bypass those blocks.
All these people are future linux enjoyers, they just don’t know it yet lol
Edge webview2 is used by some non Microsoft things as well, so I have to unblock it occasionally while it fucks my low bandwidth connection.
And it somehow unblocks itself occasionally, and is the only thing to have ever done that which is wild, but there’s probably a simple reason for it that idk. It still doesn’t deserve internet privileges 99% of the time.
