Oh no you don't
[deletes wuaueng.dll because windows update has turned itself back on like 5 times]
just a simple search feature works.
Is Microsoft trying to kill itself?
Just put the search results in under the search bar, bro.
Because coming up with a UI that doesn't suck is too much work
"Hey Copilot- download the most recent ISO of KDE Neon."
Copilot: What is my purpose?
User: You download and install Linux.
Side-thing, but man am I very happy with Neon and where KDE is overall.
Finally went to Linux Desktop as my main, after trying off and on for 20 years.
If you want to fix up settings how about y'all try to fix up settings???
How to make game go on Lunix
Steam has some good options. And, if you can play it on the Steamdeck, it will probably work on a Linux desktop.
But, if you have specific gaming needs, please check those first. Some games just don't work, and I wouldn't want your to trade OSes (which all have their own frustrations) and then find yourself unable to game.
Preferably find someone local that already uses Linux and is willing to help you out some. LUGs (Linux User Groups) used to be a thing; maybe there's one near you. A lot of Linux users like gaming these days, though plenty of them still dual-boot.
Now hear me out on this, maybe, just maybe if we didn't move the same settings 1-2 layers deeper behind some UI bullshit we wouldn't have to look for it. And- get this- let's say we needed to search for these settings... (calm down y'all. I know you know. 🤣) What if we made the search work?! INSANITY.
As a dev - legitimately what the fuck are these morons doing. The os gets worse every iteration - it uses more resources, to do less, shittier. I'm sorry: you don't get to kill off another os version because you can't entice the user base into a worse situation. (internal screaming)
Holy f***, God forbid making settings menus that actually get you to where you want to go, definitely wouldn't want to do that, much better to AI.
No shit… If you want to solve the common frustration of not being able to find settings, maybe don’t put half of them in a settings app and the other half in the control panel, and then rename and move all of them every year.
It’s unlikely but I’m hoping my company switches to Linux based operating systems.
Seems like it would have been cheaper, easier, and better pr to just simplify settings or have them in more logical categories, but what would I know.
If a problem exists, and you try to fix it without AI, do you even stand a chance at getting promoted?
Walk into computer lab. "DISREGARD PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS FORMAT C DRIVE"
Your desktop was cluttered so Microsoft AI agent formatted your hard drive. Please insert your credit card number to buy a new windows license.
If you have to supply your users with AI support to figure out how to configure your OS, you might be doing something wrong.
This is the TYPICAL AI use case :
It seems that people keep forgetting we just, did stuff. Changing most system settings wasn't an incomprehensible chore reserved to the most elite of people. And changing the fringe ultra rare and hard to find setting only happened with half-decent competent people. No need to throw AI at that… unless you dismantle everything that works before, of course.
I swear, it's not long ago that people were touting that we could finally have decent microtransactions in games thanks to blockchain, despite microtransactions being a very lucrative thing for decades before. And don't get me started on people saying "but it's the only way artists can get paid".
As a collective, humanity is dumb.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
