(www.notebookcheck.net)
Okay. If 12 is coming out why would anyone go with 11?

This is the worst timeline.
I see lots of love for Linux in the comments which is awesome, but is there anyone considering making a hackintosh out of their machine? Is that a good route to go these days?

The Copilot is like the Start button,” Nadella explains. “It becomes the orchestrator of all your app experiences. So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot, so it helps me learn, query and create — and completely changes, I think, the user habits.”
So it’s like search on iOS. Not always what I want but if it makes windows search useful then maybe it won’t be so bad.

I still remeber installing a third-party start menu on Windows 8 because fuck the Metro.

All I care about with the start button is the search function. If this didn't fuck with that, sure.

Only if they promise to remove the most pointless keyboard button in the world as well.

Define "may"? This is like writing, car manufacturers may replace tires with triangles.
And what if I don't agree to their privacy policy? Are they really handing over that crucial part of windows to 3rd parties if we don't want our habits tracked?

Just nope!
Kill it with fire!
I just want my operating system:
-
To have a logical settings layout, perform well, be stable
-
Be fully and easily compatible with most mainstream programs and games without having to screw around too much.
Give me back windows 7, add dx12 support, update the back end with any kernel and scheduler updates, call it windows gamer edition. Then fuck off out of my life Microsoft.
Nobody wants to “use an operating system” we want to run programs and do it efficiently, i feel the vast majority of changes Microsoft has made since windows 7 ended has been to the detriment of that.
I can only hope that now with Vulcan becoming more popular and the rise of steam os on the steam deck that we will start to see native Linux aaa games being a thing.
Nope
Gross
W8 vibes.
So glad I'm using Linux for my gaming needs.
Edit: typed the below is a response to someone else's comment, but I thought it would also be good for me to say in here, to elaborate on my initial comment.

Fedora/KDE, Steam, Bottles.
Fedora for the quality support and stability of your Linux distro, Steam for, well, Steam, and Bottles for non-Steam games, that still lets you launch those games from inside Steam.
