Microsoft Ruined Windows (www.youtube.com)

Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.

18 minutes video about how windows is bad, posted to literally the biggest linux circlejerk forum of the interwebs. Oh a misleading ad trying to sell the same thing as haveibeenpwned, classic.

Nowadays if someone is annoyed by these things can switch to Linux, nearly all games work ootb, hardware acceleration and drm is also working in browsers. For a home user, competitive gaming is the only thing which is not on par with windows.

For company environments where they use software which is windows only, group policy is there, sysadmins can lock down computers that it basically looks like a kiosk with only the few programs the employee need, no notifications, no ai bullshit, these annoyances only affect home users.
