In my view, this is unacceptable...

They changed my background (previously there was a default blue window), placed an icon in the bottom corner of the screen that read "Learn more about this photo", and re-added the search bar that I had previously removed.

Fortunately, I don't have to deal with this on a daily basis.

All it did to you was cosmetic.

Windows 10's "feature" updates consistently also re-enable the "fast startup" option on my machine when they install. Which, on my particular motherboard and SSD combination, causes Windows to take about 30 minutes to boot when left enabled for reasons I have never been able to comprehend. A regular cold boot only takes like 20 seconds, so... I definitely tend to notice when it does this behind my back yet again.

It also does it so that you no longer hit the bootloader. My one last dual boot machine is normally a Linux setup, but every so often I have to use the real MS Office tools (some collaborator or publisher demands it), so I boot windows. Then windows patches and stops actually hitting grub so it acts like a windows only machine until I fix whatever Microsoft fucks up yet again.

It's time to move to a VM for this garbage. I just don't neet it more than once every other year so I never seem to get around to nuking it.

How’s gaming on Linux working out lately? I have a newer Windows 11 machine and looking to jump ship, asap.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I haven't had time to seriously game in a decade now (single dad killed my free time), so I'm by no means well versed beyond a few things. My kids do game a lot and most of them are on Linux machines. They use a combination of Steam and standalone installs to get things working.

I don't run into a lot of complaints. They're well aware that not all games run on their Linux setups, so they pick and choose games a bit more. I'm fortunate that they're not always jonesing for the latest AAA games, but they're also getting new ones with some regularity.
