- A Chrome extension called “Microsoft to Microslop” that renames Microsoft references in browsers as a protest against the company’s aggressive AI integration.
- The extension reflects widespread user frustration with Microsoft’s Copilot AI, which faces extremely low adoption rates and growing privacy concerns among Windows users.
- Many users actively seek ways to remove AI features from Windows, highlighting significant backlash against Microsoft’s AI strategy despite CEO dismissals of complaints.
CADs… we need professional, reliable CADs working on linux. Photoediting is a lost cause. (Imo, of course)
I just grew a pair of balls and installed arch exclusively for gaming. As things are now, temperature monitoring looks easier than I expected and I just tried 7 games, all working like a charm.
If you rely on some specific piece of software, set up a dual boot and only boot into windows to use that software. Put your Linux installation onto a separate (encrypted) partition.
We’re never going to solve the chicken-and-egg problem of user adoption and software availability with the mentality to only switch once everything works 100%.
I know computers are hard for normies, but I believe that’s only because they’ve been using dumbed-down walled-garden stuff for too long. And just like it is important to know how to cook and do basic repairs around the house, a basic grasp of computers should be the standard in today’s world.
The thing is, if we manage to tip the scale enough, the chicken and egg problem should solve itself. We just need to represent a market big enough to make distributing Linux native software profitable.
Microsoft is deeply rooted everywhere and people really dont like to learn how to work in a completely different environment from the one they had been feed since school. Almost every workplace that involves computer practically demands us to use Microsoft and it’s products. This is the net that keeps us trapped. I guess Gates mild policy against piracy really paid off.*
If only we could take Microsoft out of schools, that would be a huge milestone.
*this could be a myth at this point, idk.
