Opinion | Microsoft, tactically admitting it has failed at talking all the Windows 10 PC users into moving to Windows 11 after all, is – sort of, kind of – extending Windows 10 support for another year.
For most users, that means they’ll need to subscribe to Microsoft 365. This, in turn, means their data and meta-information will be kept in a US-based datacenter. That isn’t sitting so well with many European Union (EU) organizations and companies. It doesn’t sit that well with me or a lot of other people either.
“Linux as a desktop is BAD!”
“Evidence?”
“I failed to make a slideshow in a buggy application. :'(”
In all seriousness, though, wtf? You could have pulled from any of the well-know papercuts and instead you balk about a broken application? Lmao?
My vibeo gaem crashed on Windows once. I guess I should hold Microsoft personally accountable for it…
For the record, I’ve used Linux throughout Highschool, Community College, and College. No issues with basic software functionality, really.
The worst and only issue I’ve had in that regard is self-inflicted because I decided to run LibreOffice via Wayland, which has an ongoing bug that makes scrolling laggy. That’s it.
The larger issues with Linux as a desktop is software compat (Wine) with Windows for nicher use cases (requires debugging and a bunch of setup), certain drivers (cough cough Nvidia cough cough), and general dumbass-proofing.
