Wait, wasn’t this the same update Microsoft just yesterday said was a “predictable and low-impact” one?
The peak-years Simpsons writer’s room couldn’t come up with a better punchline.
Once Windows 10 becomes obsolete I’ll just switch to Linux.
I’ve been living in Linux-land for the last 30 years, and I’ve never really believed my wife when she says that updates just break things and tries to avoid them to no end.
Why does Microsoft do that? It seems like it would be bad for business.
Man I want to switch so bad but there’s games that I can’t play on linux
I love how they keep announcing they will scale back AI but actually just continue forcing it on you.
Fuck microslop
They’ll scale back data center investment. Not scale back user push
One just has to appreciate the amount of money Microsoft keeps spending to Linux advertisement.
Right? If they had just kept windows as “fine” I probably would not have made the switch to Linux. Inertia is powerful. Now I’m full Linux time and have no regrets. Pop!_os with the kde desktop is fine
Another full Linux switcher, I am long time user for work but wouldn’t have fully gotten rid of my personal windows desktop if they hadn’t done this. Even better, my kids are learning Linux and even gaming on it. They lost generational lock-in for a few months of profit
Ah yes and they made this notification icon more annoying so you think there’s updates but they just want to sucker you into early installation.
Well, for that it just got a few weeks of delay. And maybe later Linux install.
But they let you move the start bar again, so there is that at least.
So… A normal Patch Tuesday?
I still have windows on my work computer, it prompted me to install 26h2 yesterday, so I did. Immediately, windows explorer started showing buggy behavior. Win+tab flickers on and off repeatedly, explorer restarts itself… Fucking hell, and then they say AI code is good.
Has microslop pushed out a single update for Windows 11 that didnt cause some kind of catastrophe in one way or another?
Of the around 8 computers in my house I am down to just a single Windows machine and every time I see an update queued I wonder just how much worse it will be after the update is applied. How many new bugs, reset settings and user hostile shit will I have to put up with this time.
Move to ltsc if you have to use Windows. You don’t get the updates everyone else gets. Just security updates.
I hit the point a while ago of just setting my connection as metered so it doesn’t download any updates. I know it’s less secure, but I just want to use my computer and not spend hours fixing problems they create with every update.
I just install 10 LTSC on the computers I REALLY need windows on. The updates have no new features at this point, just security. I don’t use it too much, but it’s just less obnoxious than 11.
It installed fine on my machine yesterday as far as I can tell. Also seems no different to before.
I forget that I have Windows on my computer which I can always dual-boot to. Linux just feels much smoother and not as sluggish in comparison despite copule of the kinks it has but that’s more me being a Linux noob.
A friend bought me bf6 so I set up secure boot and windows 11 on another drive. Haven’t booted to it since.
