I’m waiting for baited breath for ONE work-related app to have a Linux version before jumping ship on my main computer.
Linux is on every other platform at my home, I just want to be 100% free :(

Real microsoft turns it on by default, makes it a huge pain to turn it off AND reenables it every update.
Honestly I have to begrudgingly dual boot windows a few times a month to use certain software for freelancing work, so I bought an enterprise windows 11 key from a grey market vendor for like 12 bucks and then used group policy to disable copilot everywhere it was possible
Oh I see.
I guess I’ll turn off updates then.
* starts crying *
- forced updates
You’ve got to give Microsoft some credit: At least they published a fix for any issues you may have with Windows:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install#create-a-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-bare-metal-linuxCan’t you run that one app under WINE or something? Or even a Windows VM if you really need to…
It’s the Adobe Creative Suite, I have to use it for my job. Many warriors have valiantly fought to try to get Photoshop to teeter onto WINE, but I have yet to see anyone get the entire suite into a stable state. There is that AENux thing that someone is trying to do for After Effects, but it’s still in super early stages… done by one developer for probably Adobe’s most resource demanding app.
All the other apps I rely on can either run on WINE or have their Native Versions. I’m tied to either Windows or Mac for my main desktop until then.
At some point, one might consider a remote desktop setup. It’s easier to get a strong GPU that way, anyway.
Also… you can dual boot.
Can’t really do that for apps that need a discreet GPU
You should be able to with a second GPU and pass through, no?
Don’t think there’s an easy way to do this
What apps do you have in mind? I’ve never come across anything where the video card was the issue (assuming it is already working on the host system).
Like the Adobe suite? I don’t use those but I can’t imagine Premiere running too great with max 256MB of VRAM
What about that 16 bits commandos like western styled game?
A bit joke, a bit serious actually, it doesn’t even work on a modern windows :-/

Damn that character is terrifying, well done. I might have to check out your horror games now
it’s all been downhill after 7.
Do you think working on these sort of things hurts developer
moralmorale? Or do you think nah.Maybe all of those developers who would be against this have already been laid off.
If there’s devs putting up working for Musk at X, then you will find some devs that will put up with anything. I am willfully ignoring developing unmanned killer robots and other such nightmares.
Morals or morale? Because morale yea, big tech just does that to you to be honest. I know a lot of people who burnt out from this
Moral I don’t know, I guess most people already hate their product they’re developing but these jobs pay the bills.
oops, i meant morale.
I have not logged into my Microsoft for a long time. And I’m too afraid to do so.
Same here with my Apple
Why would anyone want an improved version of shit?
A turd is a turd, polishing it won’t do much.
Windows always has been a turd
Actually, it was pretty neat when they did it on Mythbusters. It’s true I wouldn’t want it in my house unless it was encased, but still neat.
Okay The discourse makes sense now
That escalated quickly ha ha!
What’s the original?
All you’re gonna do, Microsoft, is remind me to go to Copilot, tell it to die, and then uninstall it.
