Switched to windows 10 a month or so ago just for ease of use with video games and mods. Man does windows suck ass. Wants to open random web pages, use dumb AI tools and give me useless info on every empty inch of screen space . At the end of the day it works but quality of life is low.

We are living in Richard Stallmans worst nightmare rn

I'm foreseeing a spike in people asking me for help installing Linux.

I have heard that Classic Shell is once again functional under Windows 11, but it was critically broken and thoroughly unusable for too long for me, and I have since moved on to StartIsBack, which can do almost everything I found essential with Classic Shell.

I can't reproduce the CPU spike, but Windows is overall slower. Strangely, the calendar on the taskbar takes a long time to load the first time that I open it.

For what it’s worth, GNOME Shell and its extensions are written in JavaScript too.

This explains so much

This is hilariously bad. I think it might be time to bring back some of the old "launcher" utils for Windows like Slickrun or Launchy.

I can make my CPU usage jump from next to nothing as it sits on the desktop not doing anything, to 100% usage by just shaking my mouse around like a maniac. 😤

Jesus I really need to install linux don’t I?

Is there a distribution that is better at running conversion layers like Wine? I need to run some windows only software (Solidworks, Affinity Suite…)

there is massive financial incentives for these companies to write shit code because it makes people have to get newer computers

Can someone explain what "react native" is?

Every Facebook product is cancer including react
