wow.. OS Subcription-Based with AI?

you'll own nothing, and you'll be happy

I'm glad I already moved to Linux for 2 years

If its fully modular. I would remove the subscription and ai modules please...and the Microsoft module...

Microslop's Windows 12 reportedly set for release this year as a fully modular, subscription-based, AI-focused OS

Microslop Broken Window 12, is going to be a disaster and I hope it hurts Microslop!

That's what they think.

With such good gaming support on Linux, I have no idea who Windows is for anymore.

i can avoid Microsoft at home, but not at work 😞, 40hrs a week of sloppiness

I'll watch this dumpster fire with glee, having switched to bazzite a good while ago.

Nope. Not paying a subscription for an OS. My next PC is officially going to be Linux!

Only reason I haven't yet is I'm lazy and not in the mood to make the huge leap. I can and will mess up the simplest instructions, so I'll be trying to fix my own screw up for a week, whatever I mess up.

Subscription is too far though. Bye, Windows!

39hrs for me

Corporate environments and people with two commas in their paychecks telling us to use AI for everything.

🤮

This has to be a joke. Microsoft can’t be that stupid to actually do that.

It feels like we're living in an Onion article.

A site I’ve never never heard of spreading unsubstantiated rumors? Shocked I tell you!

Is Microsoft trying to release a live-service shooter version of Windows?

I use it at work and keep it on one home machine for music software I've sunk money into (Ableton Live and various software synths and effects). Everything else has been Linux now for some years.

To be honest, install is easy, and if you just go with flat packs and app images you probably won’t have to mess with much. Sure you could be crazy and use Arch if you wanna tinker with everything, but mint, bazzite, and others are pretty stable and simple. Just a small amount of “which suits my needs/wants best” before you install.

But now is not a great time to try and build a computer so… womp

People who are into a digital dominatrix that makes you do dumb stuff for no benefit.

Thankfully this appears to be wrong.

Just back up your important data! Always backup before messing with operating systems or partitioning.

I'm rich baby

Unless you’re getting one check a year, your paycheck won’t be forty-five grand.

No, I’m talking about the guillotine chow that makes two million a month.

Lmfao nope. Fuck you, Microslop.

Glad I switched over in 2006!

Whocaresfully? It's a new word I invented to describe how I feel about anything a dying company does in the background where it doesn't affect me at all. Do whatever you want, I will never buy anything from Microsoft.

Insert "so that was a fucking lie.webp"

It could be! Let's not assume they're poor just because they're on lemmy

This is good to know. I'm gonna pretend it's true anyways as personal fuel to guarantee I move off of Windows on my next machine. Nothing makes my brain revolt faster than forced subscriptions.

Win 10 here no plan to change that.

and you think folks like 11? this is going to make 11 look like a trumpy os.

Oh for sure I was too. But microslop is all lies

Who is this comment for

Anyone from or supporting microslop products.

Absolutely not. Linux is a better OS anyway.

This is tech 4 games, bud, the fourth installment in the series that started with tech gamers 1!

It's news for the poor people who don't have the freedom to leave. Have some sympathy for them. Their numbers are fewer than they think but they are out there.

Anticheat still frequently trips on Linux. It's not Linux's fault but companies still go out of their way to screw over Linux users for some reason.
