Yeah this won't win any Linux users back. At best, it will just slow the rate of users changing from Windows to Linux.

I will preface by saying, I hate it so much, and fear the day we can no longer put TPM into 'user mode' and enroll our own keys for our own signed & authorized OS (on hardware we own, in our house, not in th cloud), BUT if you are building an operating system focused on gaming, performance, and security, implementing and securing trusted + measured boot so the hardware platform ensures all stages of the bootloader, OS + game are the exact code the vendor intended is the absolutely correct way to implement anti-cheat. Sketchy 3rd party kernel mode modules that rummage around your system reporting what to who knows who wouldn't be needed at all in this environment.
lol comical, the OS is not one feature deployment from being magically fixed. It's an easy decade away at the pace that Microsoft updates. Sorry but it will never happen. Windows computer OS is sunset like it's Phone OS Its not luxury, the rich buy Apple, its not secure and free, that's Linux, its not good for gaming, that's now Linux. Whats left? Business ? Thats eroding fast!

The funny thing about AI is that it helps Linux transition in 3 ways:
-
Copilot shoved everywhere is irritating
-
Microslop abusing AI pushes one bug after another into windows
-
AI makes transition to Linux much easier. I tried multiple times and failed, but now, it's like having my own geeky friend who can help me solve any issue, sure... the guy hallucinates sometimes, but if you use your brain, it still can be really helpful.
What a fucking joke. Microsoft lost the moment to pedal back a while ago. The damage is done.
They should try not sucking. Not spying on their users. Maybe let me tell the OS what I want it to do and not have to do whatever it feels like in any given scenario.
Hahahahahhahahahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahhahaahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahshshshha!
We don't even need hope for Microsoft/Windows, hoping for that just means hoping for more shit (but slightly less worse than Linux emulation of Windows games than atm).
are they actually loosing any sensible userbase across all windows versions though? from statcounter I fail to see that, what stats do you guy usually look up too?
