    You joke, but I attempted to set up a Windows partition back in January so I could play some games on Game Pass, and made it nearly a whole two hours before I wiped the partition and vowed never again.

    There were ads on the login screen. And that was just the start! I haven’t seen so many ads on a desktop since the early 2000’s when I used to fix PCs infected with spyware for people.

    I use fusion 360 on windows 11 for work. Then i come home to my linux and it feels right

    Windows 11 is awful i hate the UI the ADS and spyware. I debloated as much as i can but i need fusion for CAM/CAD. I bring my lenovo laptop with debian 12 incase i need to do something other than CAD. Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux

      Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux

      Out of curiosity have you tried running it in a Wine/Proton environment? I’ve been able to utilize Steams “add non-steam game to library” feature to then enable proton compatibility on simple windows programs.

      Only gripe I have is with file-browsing in this scenario.

        People to some point have gotten fusion working in a half baked state. Bottles has an installer for it. But all the mini windows float over windows regardless of tab. And gpu acell doesnt work for the most part. I wish it did work because i very easily could switch to linux at work but fusion 360 is the bread and butter of my job. (Yes ive tried freecad, i find it hard to use compared to fusion)

      Home users doing it is bad enough, but why the fuck is any business tolerating ads and spyware distracting their employees‽

    I helped my son install Windows 10 on a spare SSD for Fortnite. His first comment after booting into Windows: Why is it so ugly?

    After the novelty of playing Fortnite wore off he’s back to Linux.

      Honestly gaming on Linux is so good these days, it’s almost on par with Windows there. Really the only major games that can’t be played are due to anticheat rootkits… which are a security nightmare anyway.

    Did she really do that? I’m flabbergasted she brought a pamphlet for her upcoming tour and a little flower to hold in front of the camera. This is the first and possibly last time you’re going to space, Katy. How vain do you have to be to be holding things in front of a camera? I would be glued to the windows and savoring the sensation of weightlessness.

      When you’re convinced that the world revolves around you, you probably won’t have much appreciation for the universe.

      There may not come another time where she’s in all the news, worldwide. Gotta use every second to promote the upcoming tour with that amount of exposition, i guess.

      She did it and so did Gale King. The only good thing about this whole narcissistic, class-based, photo op ordeal was this meme. The best part is that they trained together for what, 8 months? They spend almost 3 minutes of their 4 minutes in space taking selfies of each other and playing with their devices. I guess they got their $100k a piece worth of PR.

    Work “upgraded” me to Windows 11 today. So fun learning how to do the same thing as always but with a much shittier workflow.
