I would use it to download Linux.
Same but I will use it to download freebsd
EDIT: because I misspelled freebsd as ferbsd so I use EDIT to fix my spellings
fair enough
I have to for work, most of my job is in the cloud but I still find myself going “fucking windows goddamn shitty operating system” every once in a while. And man when I do have to use powershell damn is that shit ass
I have to for work and I’m genuinely considering putting together a presentation about how big of a HIPAA problem it is for us to have ai integration everywhere.
I’m pretty sure that can be disabled with Active Directory shenanigans and whatnot. I have to use Windows for work as well, in a HIPAA-esque-compliant manner, and I never see the constant AI integrations that people often complain about in Windows. I know our IT team heavily modifies and manages our Windows environments for us.
Imagining if trusted computing became legally enshrined and windows was the gateway to the internet. Would keep my use of it to a minimum, perhaps to fulfill work obligations, do taxes, pay bills, etc. and save anything that didn’t need the internet for another machine running Linux. I’d also consequently make much greater use of my hoarded media and ebooks.
I had to use Windows 10 in my last job. First thing I did was to install classic shell and start menu and Linux subsystem (wsl). And I always went through Windows services to disable what I don’t need. I guess I’d do the same on Windows 11.
Cry inside
I can’t imagine why I would.
I use windows 11 for work as a linux/hpc admin, as it’s a mostly microsoft shop. Most of my work is done in a wsl almalinux terminal, which works fine.
The most important things I’ve done to make the rest of it more comfortable all come from the powertoys suite:
- fancyzones, to replicate a tiling window manager (I really hate floating windows)
- workspaces, to group apps and window placements so I can easily launch mail/chat/terminal/browser into predetermined places, etc
- keyboard manager, to set up shortcuts to everything
- run, for a keyboard-driven launcher
With all of that, if you squint and don’t think about it too much, it’s almost like a dreadfully slow sway desktop haha
The first thing I did when I had to move to it at work was install ExplorerPatcher.
It’s amazing.
It makes the experience much more like win10. I couldn’t cope without it.Probably be mildly grumpy about it 😆
grab a knives and some sticks and make things instead.
fuck microslop
Do as much work as possible in WSL or a Linux VM in hyperv.
