You switching to Linux?

[Ȃ̷̛́͌̚͝r̵c̸̛̒͐̅̇]

After the announcement of the feature of Microsoft Recalls feature that could record your screen and camera with the support of Windows 10 expiring at the end of next year

Would you switch and abandon Windows?

[Vince ✟]

Don't care. I mean, I use my PC for a few hours a day to check mail and a few things. Not much to worry about here.

[secuda]

No, and as far as i care its on subscrition.

It doesn't affect me since I'm not buying a new computer.

I didn't know so many of you were interested in picking up new laptops.

I'm having a great time on Windows 11 BTW.

[GlaceonChireiden]

Eh, I still don't have much of a reason to. I haven't heard anything that Linux has that Windows can't already do. Plus, every time I hear someone talk about Linux it's usually within the context of how it isn't working right. It just sounds like a hassle to deal with tbh.

The recall thing is kind of weird, but I don't really have anything to hide so it's whatever. If Mr FBI Agent over at Microsoft wants to watch me die to the same DOOM level for half a hour then that's his problem.

Besides, didn't they already announce they're going back on that decision anyways and it's now off by default? This is just a nothingburger issue now.

I switched to Linux about 5-6 months ago. I'm not looking back. Linux does what I need it to do with a minimum of sacrifices on my end.

Depends if Windows 12 is good after all of the bloat is removed. Windows 10 quite much is.
11 isn't though, even with the bloat removed it's a bag of ♥♥♥♥, so.

That definitely sounds like you did something obviously wrong trying to debloat Win 11.

These days it's as simple as running a powershell script. Very foolproof.

My biggest complaint was the delays/animations. Every time I changed my keyboard layout I'd have to wait 0.75 seconds as some animation played and it got very tiring.

After using 11 for a while, returning to Windows 10 felt like stepping out of quicksand, I didn't realise how sloppy it was until returning to 10.

The "debloat" yeah is basically the same as 10 but I can't stand these weird beautification features at the cost of utility, hoping for less of that.

You had the relevant animations turned off in 10 but forgot to do the same in 11, since they are the exact same options.

[ナルゴ]

I use Arch btw

[Ulfrinn]

I switched to Linux two years ago, to the point I even reformatted all partitions that used to be NTFS and made them BTRFS. I knew where Microsoft was going a while ago, and I already made the move to do something about it.

[Raelic]

Linux is overrated.

I tried installing Linux on my new laptop. It recognised my Linux USB drive but it refused to boot from it for some reason.

Not every distro can run with secure boot enabled as shipped. Might be the reason why.

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

maybe grub update issue
or permissions for detect os,

I actually have all of the animations enabled on 10 because I don't mind them.
It's just that 11's animations are really awful while 10's aren't.

Well you can turn it all off.

Fist I have to abandon my laptop, it is literally falling apart
rant

Whenever I open it there is a gap at the "seam", and it looks as if something is coming apart inside. There "screws" aren't normal screws, two of them are missing, but it is impossible to put them back. Bloody built-to-scrap stuff... now I know one more thing I have to keep in mind when buying a new one

oh, and as of today it refuses to charge the battery , yay?
