    Is it possible to remap the copilot key on the new computers back to the control key? I keep pressing it to skip words, but end up needing to use two hands now.

    I'm on Aurora and while I got it mostly working now, I would not call it user friendly.

    Although I agree in spirit, there is a bloatfree version of windows 11 called LTSC.

    Makes me one happy windows user.

    Unfortunately I have to do both ;n;

    ... or at least I will have to when I try to get my homemade game engine working on Windowsintoyourbrowsinghistory 11

    I'd just rather use Windows and not have to deal with my games not being supported, explaining to people how to print a word document or have to mess with wifi drivers.

    Left thing is the right thing

    Really?

    Because nothing I use works in Linux or at least doesn't easily.

    My 10 year old Logjtech mouse doesn't work, at all, until I Google how to make it work.

    Then there's OneNote, which syncs directly with every machine, no server required.

    Or excel - got Tables in Libre office yet? You know, what 97% of people use Excel for?

    I could go on for days. At every turn, Linux is inferior to Windows as a desktop.

    And I use Linux every day as a server: Truenas, Proxmox, Freedombox, Rpi, etc. It's briliant for purpose-built systems.

    Actually Windows is much more convenient to use, if you just log-in everywhere and use it as a "normal human". The thing is we don't like companies taking our lifes, we demand freedom, thats why windows is a hell for us, but for most its convenient.

    There's no beginner friendly Linux OS, but.......if you willing to learn a thing or two about linux (at least know how to install programs, updating system, & install your favorite Windows program on wine bc you can't find equivalent linux program) i think you'll loved Linux so much because it's so flexible.
    If you encounter errors, don't worry, there's answer how to fix it, all you need is Google/DuckDuckGo

    User-friendly Linux distro is a myth.
