And more and more reason to stop using windows. Oh btw Winboat is a thing now. As is WINE and Proton.
Microsoft is why I’m on Linux
Same. I saw the way the wind was blowing and switched from Windows 11 last spring.
Enshittification intensifies
I'm so glad I don't use it anymore
Interesting, what percentage will still insist on using Windows if Microsoft start plugging users' asses?
125%, daddy.
you can't threaten me with a good time
Me with Rufus: "You cannot stop me."
And the enshittification will continue until they have true competition.
It got me to switch to mac anyways
I have to admit, not a route I'd expect, certainly not one to become a norm given different use cases or the steeper buy-in.
They really want to turn Windows into iOS. All apps form the Microsoft store, locked bootloader.
And this is why I use the LTSC version and disable updates. Yes, my system isn't as secure, but considering the usual attack vectors have moved more towards social engineering lately, being free of Microsoft's nonsense outweighs the outdated security in my view.
This is only for Home version and not the Pro version of windows
