Windows 24H2 - Copilot is terrible. 

This update force you to set Microsoft account.

My fingers were already raised to scream at you, why you love Windows 11. But after reading all the words, I'm fine with it 🙂

​@@ronny332As a window 11 user I am scared to talk to you 😅

It is because of the path Windows followed, Windows 8 - trying to make PC OS like tablets, Windows 10 - Mixed Reality Shenanigans, Windows 11 cutting down necessary features and baking in AI. On the other hand Linux and Mac continued making their OS polished. I hope Microsoft focuses on what Windows does best.

​@@ronny332i'm a Windows 11 user and i'm proud of that 👍

Same my friend! got forced off of Windows 7. Proton was the final piece i needed to swith. been useing Linux mint since 2019 =D never looked back. Things just get better and better every year!!

Yes, most people are clueless about how much electrical power is wasted by the 'cloud' including AI. If people would visit one of those serverparks then they might start to understand it. 😆

Gigachad using GPT4 running on A100 cluster to do find and replace in 100k word document.

Next they'll include solar panels with 25H2. lol SoDo - the built in rootkit for Windows :D Blocking a bunch of apps like ExplorerPatcher - not cool yo! :(

@@shApYT I've used atleast half a gigawatt by myself. should be an achievement

I wonder how much Copilot consumes, by doing some experiments myself I saw how slow a model like llama70b can be even on a machine with RTX 4080 and 128GB RAM... I wonder how much hardware (and electric power) you need to produce tokens fast enough for services like ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot, I wouldn't be suprised if that's more than my household power cap (in my coutry most domestic meters are capped to 3kW).

"AI hallucinations" - very nice...

Spyware and keyloggers "cough cough"

​@@TechnoMinded-qp5inThat's industry standard.

Wait until you see Windows 12 next year. Beware it can still get worse than this unless Windows 12 redeems itself like Windows 10 did compared to Windows 8.

devs = H1B pajeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeets 👳🏾‍♂️👩🏽🇮🇳

They did the same with win8 (Holy shit that was horrible)

Yeah that's the worst part about Win11. The underlying OS? Phenomenal, fantastic. The userspace? Reeks of Microsoft hitting the "not knowing wtf to do to stay fresh" phase again.

@@supra107 You sum it up pretty well. I am cool with Linux for the most part but I too enjoy Windows 10. 11 however just feels weird.

@@supra107 not much has changed under the hood since 2006

@@doltBmB You say that like it's a bad thing. Better keep it unchanged than to constantly juggle what's already working, like the window server.

Copilot can not do it, so it must be very very difficult for users🤔

Seems like it. Users know how to empty bin, right ?.... right ?

Maybe he's baking and he hands are totally full with dough, so of course he's going to talk with the computer to do basic stuff. What are, cavemen from the '60s to TYPE on our computers ?

Storage sense has been automatically emptying recycle bin to your choice of intervals for a long time. It’s sad that they have to break already working features just to rebrand them as AI.

I spent a couple of hours in Debian 12 figuring out how to install AMD firmware for my modern GPU, then I left. Am on Nobara atm, have gamed on Arch based distros. I like Mint but I never got gaming working, though I probably missed a dependency for older games or something. Gaming really has been the main reason I've kept Windows 11 around. I've had a certain game launcher backend break a couple of years ago, it becomes a problem for online games if they can't patch. But I'm playing offline games currently so it's a good lull time in content to experiment with gaming on Linux again. I've used Waterfox before am mostly on Firefox currently, have Brave, Chrome, and Tor for niche cases. A bit of a weird case where my mother's banking online works in Chrome. I like OnlyOffice for both Windows and Linux. Would love to change back mostly or just keep dual boot for backup.

I started with Linux mint too. Dual booted for a while. Switched almost completely to Arch, and used that extensively for a few years. 3-4 months ago i completely switched to Arch, and uninstalled windows (begone microsoft bloat). One thing that really helped is letting go of the need to use proprietary windows software (photoshop, lightroom, etc). I used and learnt all the native Linux options, and they work pretty great once you get the hang of it. Gaming also works flawlessly.

If you have problems playing games on Debian12 try the flatpak version of steam as it comes with a newer mesa. also if you have nvidia that might cause problems with basically any distro

@CreepToeJoe Maybe!! Remember Microsofts three 'E' motto "Embrace, Extend and Extinguish".

@@BuriedUnkind Yeah, I know. I remember.

​@@BuriedUnkind Never forget.

@@BuriedUnkind FF: also E = 69

Microsoft treats FOSS the same way every other corporation treats FOSS which led to Linux being relevant in any way. Volunteers can help out developing it for free, and every corporation that invests time and money into developing FOSS will mutually benefit from it later on. Because without corporate backing, Linux wouldn't exist. Just look at GNU Hurd or any other truly free kernel. They all suck. Linux is what it is because of all the commits done by IBM, Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Google, Facebook and every other big bad corporation. Microsoft embraces FOSS because unlike Ballmer, Nadella saw the potential in letting people writing code for free, just like every other corporation did with Linux.

I switched from Windows 7 to Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition. Got familar environment, updated apps, better security, better performance. Couldn't be happier. Get Edge edition with the 6.5 kernel if you have problems with devices (wifi cards). I wouldn't go back to Windows 7 after using Linux.

GPEDIT > User configuration > Administrative templates > Windows components > Windows Copilot Toggle to "enable" No more co-pile-et 💩

Is there a way to do that?

They shouldn't use Microsoft products in the first place. Read Microsoft windows license, in 12000 words Microsoft explains how it sells your business data to Microsoft its business partners. In perpetual royalty free indeed. A lawyer typing a court case letter just as well could type it with the judge watching behind his shoulder. Also word documents maintain edits.

If you’re worried about that, why are you using RU-vid?

OMG, So correct! I never would have figured but here we are.

Hopefully people more people use Obsidian in response

@@ThePlayerOfGames Or notion. Obsidian is not good if you don't pay and need the sync.

I never paid for Office apps. Always went through torrenting for that. Really sad to see Office being included on sold PCs under form of a trial.

Lets be realistic here. You are like in the 0.005% of people who actually ever used wordpad. I am a system administrator and never seen or heard anyone needing/using it, because there are simply much better tools to use. The few times I tried using it it failed. Now logically speaking what makes more sense? Force a programm onto every user even tho the vast vast vast majority never uses it or force people like you to do a 5 second search and click download wordpad in the store. I guess I let you decide what makes more sense.

@@layas8861 wordpad barely consumed any space and it was good enough when it was needed. The TV app took huge amount of space and no one used it. Why was it forced to users ? Same principle, wordpad was at least useful. I understand that for you as a sysadmin it's worthless but for troubleshooting someone else PC without internet connection it was really useful.

Turning into a WinKali :D

NadellaOS

Microsoft already have their own linux distro

@@evantaur I know that... my "joke" was for Windows itself... MS could end that piece of crap forever....

​@@jomarceyouSativaGnutella Windows 😂😂😂😂😂😂

How's it going so far? I have been using LinuxMint since 2 years now. I like to know people's experiences with Linux so i can know what to recommend in the future.

@sandman_857 yep

They are taking baby steps to make it less miserable for command line users.

Lame duck take.

Agreed.

Wow.... The chain of reasoning is truly Oscar-worthy.

They're going for the Thunderbird instead of the Geary and Evolution 🤦

Try Betterbird, its a fork of thunderbird, you won't be disappointed. They kept trying to force me over to outlook, so I switched and cancelled my MS account to a Local account.

They're the richest company in the world, they have all the money they don't need to care

They did have one IMO, Win 7 was GREAT, but $$$ MS want more of it, to hell with the user's opinions.

*SKLL3TR* --- _'Why is it so hard for microsoft to make a good OS?'_ --- Why should they ? Millions of technicians around the world rely on MS to produce a crap system. If computers were using a Unix based system - there would be mass unemployment 😉🙃😊

They made a good OS, it's called Windows 11. What they've done wrong is that they've slapped a bunch of idiotic additions on top of it and ruined it.

I think everybody is confused thinking that Microsoft is a software company. It's not. It's a marketing organisation. Once you have internalised that, what they do then makes sense...

LOL

yeah not having mail notifications is a huge pain in the ass

Microsoft are removing simple tools like Wordpad - or 'Paint' ------ for one basic reason --- They're 'Free'

@@Pax.Alotin And also the good old Mail and Calendar. Replaced by ugly and slow webapp Outlook

Search for Optional features in Settings, you should be able to install Wordpad from there?

@@UshankaMaster For now -- but you know MS have dropped all support for it. They really do intend to kill it - because it doesn't grease their greedy little palms.

Jeez, does noone pay attention ? Chris said it in the video, you can install it from the Microsoft Store. And I'm pretty sure that if you have it installed, it won't remove it. It's just that on new Windows installs, it won't be preinstalled by default.

GlazeWM

Windows 10 LTSC, it's just 10 but with more support.

GlazeWM here is my video on it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0I8HyVMKEeo.htmlsi=UeJLmFRyJegjvWz3

he is running Win 11 inside a VM, by the way.

@@1MinuteFlipDoc but I think it has wm

​@@GenZdev He uses GlazeWM on his Windows 11 VM. I only use Pop Shell on Linux and Rectangle on Mac for my window management needs as of now.

No more regular installations, only M$ store install ... wouldn't be surprised.

Well, I already won't touch Win11 so the same will hold for 12 if they implement that strategy.

if they do that it really will be unusable... i still use windows at work i really hope i dont have to deal with that

​@@disasterarea9341 - 24H2 is already blocking apps like ExporerPatcher and quite a few others. Sadly it's only downhill from here.

Linux has doubled in users for a reason, some people just don't get it.🤔

When did the Justice Department ever broke up any corporation for vast anti-trust violations? Oh, that's right, never. Because the US federal government is in bed with the corporations, unlike the EU that actually has the cojones to do something about them.

You know there's EAC and BattleEye shims available on Proton, right?

@@ThePlayerOfGamesyea but it never workout for most games. I play most singleplayer games on linux with Ubuntu & SteamOS. Multiplayer games kinda risky to me after the whole Apex Legends incident of ban waves.

He's looked Atlas in the recent past. Pretty sure he suggested people to stay away.

U better off using his microwin as long as it has no issues

This is the command you need ---- *> sudo apt windows-11 - autopurge -y*

What games aren't you able to play on Linux? Are they busted for just you or is it on protondb?

End Task option is already present in 23H2 so it's not actually new.

Run Windows in a virtual machine inside Linux
