This is Microsoft’s latest annoying addition to Windows.

    Ah well.

    At least task manager still puts a bullet to its head if I want it to 🔫

    I just want windows to go away.

    I hope steam OS can somehow take Linux gaming mainstream to the point that we get proper native game releases.

    I recently bought a new computer (left the old one in my car by mistake, and the outdoor heat caused the plastic casing to expand) and moved all my old files over to the new one. Somehow, it ended up sticking a bunch of my files (Desktop, Documents, etc.) in my OneDrive (which was setup without any confirmation that I’d like to use it). I had to create a brand new profile that wasn’t linked to a Microsoft account on my brand new computer and move everything over just to fix the issue.

      Even setting up an account that isn’t linked to Microsoft is tricky - particularly if it’s the first account. You basically have to keep your PC offline throughout the entire setup, and even then as soon as you connect to the internet it’ll start changing things.

      O&OShutup is an essential piece of software to run, imo. You need to run it regularly also to catch the settings that get reverted with updates.

        Or, hear me out here, you could use an OS that doesn’t have all that shitfuckery built in the first place.

          Absolutely. Unfortunately a lot of software still only works on Windows. Particularly in industrial settings.

            Yeah, but the more customers demand Linux versions, the more likely companies will be to produce them.
