Fuckssake I need Windows to stay usable for my work...
I'll stay with Win10 for another 3 years and see what the landscape looks like then ๐
Please Adobe and Hoyoverse, implement Linux support pronto.
Adobe won't ever allow Linux, I'm sure they have some contract.woth Microsoft about this (wouldn't be the first time I've seen that)
Also, obligatory FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT ADOBE here. We just now setup pihole to improve office security slightly and FFS, Adobe is making it impossible with their 10.000 domains they're using. I've added countless exceptions already and still can't get Adobe services to run remotely reliable

reads just like the old web3 grifters
The "Not me. Take curse of Ra" would fit here well.
Every single time I open my windows PC (which has now been force fed windows 11) they have disabled my Internet connection until I install yet another update. Which takes at least 15 min with a reboot. It's maddening. Reading all the lemmy Linux posts is about to convince me.
Windows 11 not running on my old computer made me hold out just long enough until Recall hit and it made me decide to not use it in my new one. I've been using Arch (CachyOS technically) for about a year now.
Listen to the man. He doesn't give a shit about regular Windows users. You're getting it because his entrenched corporate licensors will get it. And they get it because they get a button to turn it off. That and they don't have many options because of the sweet fucking deals they're getting when they bundle the MS software ecosystem, locking out competitors. Embrace. Extend.
I'm one decent hard drive away from a full-blown Linux switch, but $60-$100 is $60-$100 since dual-boot is apparently suboptimal, which I can't abide.
dual-boot is only suboptimal because MS actively fucks with grub.
at least that's how it was for me back in the day.
I figured out a solution though. don't dual-boot, and run Linux directly.
I just can't immediately pull the plug on my Windows setup. I still need it accessible due to various custom stuff that'd take a long time to duplicate over to Linux.
I understand what you mean, but the longer you hold onto that stuff the longer you have to put up with their abusive shit.
I did the same thing, except I kept a full second device for windows. one day, I just stopped using it and didn't realize it until I couldn't remember the last time I used it.
good luck.
