How are they going to drop updates for something they have to spend zero energy on to stay compatible? Windows 11 is a low effort UI re-hash with some minor kernel iterations. I love and miss the Linux desktop and want it to succeed, but it’s clear there’s a bias here meant to push a narrative.

Former burned out core LM developer here, the grass is not always greener (but maybe is if you don’t know how the sausage is cooked).

I’ll use Windows 10 and pay for the updates for years while using old versions of office. Fuck Windows 11.

But how are you going to integrate with active directory? Oh right you can’t, it just limits you to Ubuntu. And good luck finding a company with an IT department that knows how to set that up.

I’d love to use Linux for work, but my job pays me to endure pain.

Meanwhile I am using local models through home assistant. The fact I can run something equivalent to GPT 3.5 turbo on a $800 graphics card kind of negates any of the benefits of these dumb integrations that require NPUs. Maybe Microsoft should bring back basic quality of life improvements that were in Windows 10 in Windows 11 instead of desperately waving their arms around trying to be relevant to consumers. Dumbasses.

What?
