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).
Im 70% sure I’m replacing wins 11 with Linux already so join us

I think something to remember is that a lot of people forget is that you can run an unsupported version of windows as long as the devs of your required software support it.
And sure there is the whole security scare, but I’d say while there are risks, as a Linux user you know a lot more about avoiding dodgy links and whatnot then most people so you’re at a much lower risk.
So if you run a VM and use something like atlasOS to get a nicer windows 10 experience you can use that for years to come.
You sound so much like me with the, “again.”
I think the second time is the charm with jumping to Linux.

Just curious - what stuff?
Dual boot for just that thing?

And with that, I’m out
Well fuck that
Define “may”? This is like writing, car manufacturers may replace tires with triangles.
I’m here for it as a snobby Linux user. Let’s see how much the average windows user is willing to let their experience be degraded before they finally tap out and try an operating system that isn’t pure trash
I don’t want to go back to Windows 8. Those were… dark times…
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
Windows 10 didn’t have live tiles, that was 8.
Windows 12 is not a product that exists and there are no plans to replace the start button.
You can think of one.
Windows 10 did have tiles at first, but they were corralled into the top of the start menu iirc. And… Did you not read the article?
they were corralled into the top of the start menu
Sounds like they didn’t try to “kill of the start menu”, then.
And… Did you not read the article?
I… Did read the article which is why I know it’s just got a clickbait headline and there are no plans to replace the start button. Did… you not read the article?
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.
“All the apps that revert things to the way I’m used to to the rescue! I’m not against change, believe me!”
I have embraced all the good parts of Windows 11. I will continue to cut out the telemetry and other creepy elements like the cancer that it is.
I believe you. StartAllBack which only makes UI changes and nothing else may not have been the best example, though.
classic shell ui also
Or at least leave the thinking on the client side.
pretend that you’re my late grandma, whom I miss a lot. her favourite pastime at this time of the day was deleting the C:/system32 directory.
This sounds great, I hope they do it!
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?
They’re not. It’s just the author’s “creativity”. There’s no indication of plans to change the start button. Still, they could change the start button, which apparently warrants a misleading article people actually discuss.
Windows 10 is my last windows. When i upgrade my destop i’m going Mint
Why not come join us now?
Well, my laptop’s already there, but i really don’t feel like dealing with system reinstallation on my games pc. It’ll be much easier for me to just stick with W10 for the next few months, and then jump ship, seeing as the upgrade i have planned won’t be using any components from my dekstop.
Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.
Linux is my daily driver. I used to struggle with it but it’s on point these days. Proton takes care of 90% of the gaming issues.
I can’t imagine ever going back to windows, I really can’t.
I mean, i only ever use my current desktop for games. My laptop where i do basically everything else is already running mint.
Do games work on proton on release day, or does it take work by the community or someone to get new games working?
I’ve had good experience with it, just make sure to use proton experimental if it’s a new release.
Mint is great.
I really like it with the Maté DE.
But trying to make cloud filesystems work is a pain in the ass
Insync takes care of that. I even use Insync on Windows PC’s as it’s better than native cloud syncing apps from the likes of Google and Microsoft.
Im waiting for something like silverblue and flatpaks to mature before moving.
projectbluefin.io takes silverblue and adds many of the things that you were likely to be waiting for. It did for me.
So now I can use an AI to find notepad++ on bing?
No. Search isn’t for finish g what you want anymore… common misconception.
No, silly! You use AI to find sponsored ads on Bing! You don’t need notepad++ to ＣＯＮＳＵＭＥ
