God Damn it MS
Everyday that passes my satisfaction has grown since jumping over to Linux Mint.
I nuked my win11 installation a week ago and went with cachyos (it’s arch btw) and I just feel like; even if mslop fixes their shit, I wont go back.
Woah, Arch users scares me, the way you meet someone that is much taller!
How is your time so far with the new OS? Lots of new things and issues?
Sliding in the comments: CachyOS is really easy to use, nothing mystical about it.
Yeah, its handholdy.
Ive used arch on a few servers so it feels homey even if I’ve never used a wm before. Most issues has been small and solvable.
I’m thrilled for seeing my RAM idle at half the amount it did when I was on Windows. Loving Mint… or any debian distro for that matter.
In these trying times it helps more than ever to run an OS that sips rather than slurps that precious ddr5.
Mints great. I like POPos myself but its all good.
Microsoft did this with Internet Explorer and Windows 98; they make IE the shell for file explorer so as to ensure IE could never be removed.
To the top. History is repeating itself.
Those who do learn history are doomed to bear the consequences of the FUCK wads who don’t.
How to disable Copilot
For Pro, Enterprise, or Education users
Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot. Double-click “Turn off Windows Copilot,” select “Enabled,” then click Apply and OK. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
For Home users
Home users without access to the Group Policy Editor can disable Copilot via the Windows Registry. Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows. Create a new key named WindowsCopilot if it does not exist. Inside this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named TurnOffWindowsCopilot and set its value to 1. Restart your computer to apply the change.
and they say linux is complicated.
How to disable Copilot
Delete Windows.
Seriously, you think those switches will keep working?
They will for Enterprise - their only paying clients.
Home is fucked.
Pro is probably soon to be fucked.
Protip: Export the registry key into a .reg file, write a script that installs it and put that in autostart. Otherwise every major update will revert your edit.
But if you’re at that point, even Slackware will give you fewer headaches.There is no way they have an option named TurnOffWindowsCopilot that turns off the Windows Copilot
I’m sorry, is this an AI Generated keyboard…?
Not saying it isn’t, but if the reason why you’re saying that is because of the z/y key, I know one of the EU layouts swaps it. German I think?
Yes, a German keyboard has swapped the letter Z and Y (and some other differences). Maybe this is a keyboard that shows both so more people can use it.
Just put fedora on an old dell laptop and it recognized the dual nvidia and intel cards out of the box 🥳
Dual-booting Win 11 and Bazzite while I figure out the flow for myself and whether I can shove off into the deep end without Win 11.
If you enjoy gaming or steam-related apps, Bazzite comes kitted out with most of what you’ll need to be successful out the gate.
Aside from EAC-based games, I’ve found a lot of my games just run better without the Win 11 bloat in the background.
Exploring Windows alternatives has never been easier in my opinion.
Install Linux Problem Solved
Of course, make an anti-feature part of an integral part, which coincidentally also happens to handle personal files…
Yeah, I know. Install Linux.
I’ll do that when every single gaming title works flawlessly on it and not a second before.
Until then, I’ll utilize whatever workaround the community comes up with to strip this shit out of File Explorer.
P.S. Many games still don’t work on Linux. https://areweanticheatyet.com/
Honestly all my games have ran on bazzite better than windows with better FPS. And much less RAM consumption. Even some of those EAC games run well.
The more people that leave MS the more support Linux games will get.
Great source for sure. Had this bookmarked
It’s free bro just install it quit being a puss
Sorry, I like playing my games which span a 30 year timeframe. And if even one didn’t work on Linux, then it isn’t worth it to me.
Ok, have fun on windows while the rest of us move to Linux and enjoy gaming there.
Between Lutris and Steam, I’ve been able to run every game flawlessly – several with better performance than I’ve seen on Windows, even.
The only limitation is anti-cheat software that some games (Team Fortress, Battlefield, etc.) require. I don’t play those types of games myself, so it’s not an issue for me.
I’ve never had a single issue with any game on Linux. Just do it
KDE Dolphin works on Windows for those who really need Windows. Otherwise I recommend simplified Arch-based distros, but Mint is also good.
Does it? I know KDE used to make a Windows version back in the day, but I didn’t know that was still in development.
Lot of KDE apps are also on Windows, most famously Krita (art program that is on par with pqid proprietary offerings), but the KDE suite contains so many bangers like KATE (text editor faster than VSCode, with plugin support).
I knew that the “standard” KDE apps have windows versions, but Dolphin?
Edit: Looks like the newest version of Dolphin for Windows is from the development branch and was made in 2022.
I’m trying to think of a time when I thought “oh, if only I had an IA assistant in my file manager”…
I have to say it’s probably the only way you’ll ever get any kind of bulk rename out of a Microsoft OS.
Well you see, if you thought windows search was bad at finding files in the folder you already had opened when you starting searching for them before…
I hope my company will switch to something different. Microsoft ist getting worse and worse
