I might replace Microsoft with Linux in Windows 12
I had this exact thought. It may actually be “The year of the Linux Desktop.”
W8 vibes.
Well fuck that
Windows 10 is my last windows. When i upgrade my destop i’m going Mint
I love this idea. The reason people continue using Windows is because they’re used to it. Messing with the Start button is going to piss off even the most patient users. Not to mention it’ll be an absolute nightmare for any IT department. Just imagine an army of Karens calling your hotline first thing on Monday morning, yelling at you because you took away the Start button. It’ll make Windows 8 look like a huge success.
They tried fucking with it on Windows 8 and that worked out so great.
tbh i liked the win8 start menu
They already fucked with start menu and search and it’s already a problem for IT. I can’t find any app I got installed unless I spell it out right, and even then it might work with just 3/8 letters in but no further.
Sometimes I just click through program files cause it’s faster.
Back to cluttering the desktop with shortcuts to everything it is then.
Well in that case I might replace windows 12 with not using windows 12
A few weeks ago when they made the search bar come back after I had told it to go away I switched to Linux. It’s weird the small annoyances that add up. It’s great so far. With KDE for the desktop environment, you can make it look however you want, including almost identical to any version of windows you want. It’s really quite usable, and generally I’m already faster and more comfortable with it than I was with windows.
XP gang
Botnet gang :/
Yeah, don’t use old versions of Windows (or any OS really). Upgrade to Win 10/11 or install Linux (or something else that’s supported).
So now I can use an AI to find notepad++ on bing?
No, silly! You use AI to find sponsored ads on Bing! You don’t need notepad++ to ＣＯＮＳＵＭＥ
This sounds great, I hope they do it!
No thank you. Startallisback to the rescue. Ghost spectre to remove whatever bullshit they put in this time.
I’m not against progress, I just prefer my computer to leave the thinking to me.
How many times has Windows tried to kill off the start menu!? I can think of at least three:
- Windows 8
- Windows 10’s funky live tiles thing (by default).
- This strange Windows 12 AI junk
Luckily steam deck has been teaching me how to utilise Linux. Then due to streaming garbage I’ve started using jellyfin and have ordered a micro PC to host it, which will have Linux installed for additional practice. My windows days are numbered.
Microsoft why are you trying to pull an Elon and destroy your own brand, stop that – what, after all, has a dedicated keyboard key on Windows keyboards, and has for decades?
Can someone just start making community updates for windows 7 and we can just use that when Unix is not a viable option
Microsoft will come to your house and break your knee caps if someone did that haha
Good luck, because last time they tried to replace the Start menu with a new UI went so well…
Just nope!
