Microsoft’s announcement: “We are introducing a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings homepage. The Game Pass recommendation card on Settings Homepage will be shown to you if you actively play games on your PC. As a reminder – the Settings homepage will be shown only on the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 and if you’re signed into Windows with your Microsoft account.”
How about Microsoft goes out back and fucks themselves.
They’ll do that for $14.99/mo
I don’t mind having ads in my face every day and being tracked constantly if it means I can play games with my friends for an hour a week.
- Everybody, everytime someone mentions switching to Linux
if it means I can play a specific game with my friends for an hour a week
They love rootkits as well.
I actually feel bad for people on windows 11. People, please just switch to Linux already. There just isn’t any real reason to stay on it anymore, and if you do you’ve got some ridiculous bullshit niche setup that 0.1% of people use. And for people on Nvidia just grab that Nvidia pop_os ISO for that idiot proof setup, seriously, there are no more excuses and it’s really not any more difficult to use than Windows. Don’t listen to people saying you have to open a terminal to do anything either, that’s a straight up fucking lie, and if you really have to, then copy/paste is all you need to know.
If you have to use rtx and dlss to justify your overpriced graphics card, then there’s AMD fsr that can be forced on damn near any game you want, it’s not as good but it gets the job done, as for Ray tracing, come on…be real with yourself for 5 minutes, what game other than control has use Ray tracing in any meaningful way other than to look pretty?
Windows is just not worth the hassle anymore, wake the fuck up people.
DLSS is AI-based and FSR is not, right? I always wanted to know how is FSR not inferior when Nvidia is the leading AI chip company, so shouldn’t that give them the edge?
Where did I say dlss is inferior? I’ve used them both, dlss is better quality yeah, fsr has better frame generation with less latency. Fsr isn’t as good, it gets the job done though and is available on literally everything unlike Nvidia. If you have Nvidia use dlss, if not use fsr, if you hate yourself then use XeSS.
What kind of therapy do I go to if I’m in an abusive relationship with my Operating System?
Self-harm?
That’s not a funny joke
No.
Then you deserve so much than Windows has to offer, you can do so much better, Windows does not deserve YOU!
There are Ubuntu versions that look very similar to the Microsoft
Linux user for a long time, actually. I like Q4OS for myself, it’s also Debian based and it puts very little in front of the user to start so I can customize a little more
It’s a group therapy called !linux@lemmy.ml
My last Linux dual-boot install was trying to apply Conversion Therapy to me and corrupted my windows boot records. Finally got it resolved, but what a nuisance.
I heard they have specialized clinics in Antarctica for that situation.
Penguin therapy for the win
I’m still on Win10, but the second I see yet another ad on my pro license, I’m wiping the drive. As long as I have some kind of choice, I will not run hostile operating systems on my own hardware.
You’re going to. Why not face reality right now.
Mint and popos will do the trick for most of the normie gamer needs fyi
It’s been a bit for me, but I used to run either Gentoo or Arch.
Asking for the sake of my son, does Fortnite work?
No, despite easy anticheat having Linux support, epic flat out refuses to enable support for Linux.
It’s stupid and actively hostile to the Linux community
popos
i just realized that PopOS means butts in german…
i needed it in lowercase to see it, and i’m german…
Could these please stop dropping more ads on the ui🙄. That and forced copilot make loath using windows.
You turn some of them off with group policy
Look at the corner between the four “paragraphs”… WHY? Please Microsoft align them properly
They are busy at ads rather than improving anything.
Embrace, extend, extinguish, enshittify.
Honestly there isn’t even a extinguish
Just pointing out the extra “E” Microsoft has been practicing lately.
entire home tab is just ad space and can be disabled
or just upgrade to enterprise, comes with no ms 365 ads and the home tab is disabled out of the box.
you’ll get literally zero ads or bs like onedrive in built-in apps, and even anti features like ms account login can be disabled (os will just skip right to local account creation)if you’re in the know, check out vlmcsd on github and “test” windows enterprise with KMS. It can run on everything from a pi, to docker, to openwrt. If you’re really gangster, you can set up SRV records and get auto activation on your lan
massgrave can activate enterprise by hwid
Oh I’ll have to check that out I thought I read something about that method being patched.
Tho I do like just booting a new install and its already activated automatically :P
makes me more and more happy i switched to linux. FUCK. WINDOWS.
I just signed up for AdBuddy 24/7. Might as well I guess
CorpOS
Now’s a great time for us all to switch to an open source solution. I suggest Linux Mint or Ubuntu.
