  I have a laptop with Win 11 installed as default, and dear gods is it exhausting to work with. Right-click has been neutered to the point where I have to click “extra-options” every ducking time because they moved the options I actually need behind another damn click.

  If Microsoft would take a lesson from the failure of Clippy, and stop trying to “help me” (jerk off motion) I might stick with it. But as it is, and as it’s going, they are trying to tablet-ify the UX to the point it’s useless on desktop (why the fuck do I have to dismiss a blank screen in order to actually input my password when logging in?!).

  Once I get the important files transferred out, it’s Linux baby!

    I managed to fix these problems with Explorer Patcher. If you wanna make it tolerable before you switch to Linux, It’s pretty nice, lets you set the start menu to win10 and fixes the stupid win11 context menu, and many things i wish windows would offer

    That because they have power over most of us, many work related things at least use Excel (not to mention many rely on Excel VBA)

    Also some big corpos use SSO with Active Directory, and there is one of my office clients using SSO with M$ Azure. This making hard from leaving Windows environment.

      On the apps side, don’t forget MS Teams, Sharepoint, Powerpoint, Access (MS’s SQL databases with training wheels), Github (and Copilot), PowerBI, Silverlight, Outlook, on and on.

  Isn’t this a blatant violation of the DMA no self-preferencing clause? Or are they only doing this in not-the-EU?
