...with Windows' switch to the operating-system-as-a-service model, --have decided to stop fighting Windows and Microsoft and switch to Zorin OS (seamless transition from windows to linux, especially with help from AI) and also learn Mint. Windows 10 is my last windows OS -- been a good run
(y haven't u switched 2 linux yet? ...or am i the last unicorn?)

>>1204621I see Zorin also attracted millions of downloads. Lotta people are legit pissed at MS and Copilot worming its' way into apps like Notepad. All while more RCEs are exposed.
I run GNU+Linux and OpenBSD on my main laptop here. Haven't had any incentive to use Windows on my own machines for a year or two now.

Using my PC mostly for gaming - and I mean partially ancient gaming (like 90s stuff), there's not much choice but to remain with Windows.

>>1204622i guess microsoft is integrating ai with everything in the os now ...which would b great if they cared about their users (ai can b useful, although it has limits) and didn't want 2 just try 2 brainwash them into accepting their ways .-.
>>1204631wao.
>>1204637hm ...maybe. perhaps ai (deepseek seems pretty good) can help find a linux distro & apps that works with your setup

>>1204648The ways of the Unix world are not without problems either, but there is a lot less AI feature creep involved at least.
At this rate, MS is doubling down on the AI trend, even as outlets like OpenAI are set to lose more money than before.

>>1204680am already feeling better thx 2 zorin and mint. having a secure os with a repository of good apps is nice, as well as the absence of all the bloat; i dont have to mentally filter relevancy, which frees up cognitive reserve
ai in applications? --just the next incarnation of clippy and/or navi

I've been using Linux as my main OS for years. I only ever boot into Windows if there's something like a game that doesn't work in Linux.
I made the mistake of updating from Windows 10 as it reached its end of life support, but in my defense, this was before they went all in on turning Windows into an AI-first OS, and I don't need to use it enough to be affected all that much, at least directly.
