I just updated Linux and Windows on different drives on the same laptop. Fedora took 2 minutes to download, reboot and install. Windows? 20 minutes.

Too late Microslope. I am already one app away ending dual boot and after that, never again.

I haven't recovered my Windows partitiion for new space simply because I'm lazy. Haven't booted it in a long time now, haven' needed it. And the last time I did, it was so upset at me. I had a few things I was still using it for, one a game, but aftr not being active in it I went full Linux, and it's so much better. I get some people are still tied to things that aren't quite there for non-Windows, but it's becoming less and less.

I'm stuck with Windows possibly forever or until maybe Valve manages to create a way for kernel based anti cheat to work on Linux, and also because of Clip Studio Paint.

Is it really worth your privacy and freedom just to play Fortnite or whatever?

I heard it's possible, or at least an integrity check good enough that does basically the same thing, but not a rootkit. Anyway, turns out these companies just don't like Linux, and want root privileges to your system.

Which app? Does it have a FOSS/Linux alternative? Can it run through Proton/Wine?

[-] Marthirial@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Affinity Studio. I managed to run it in Fedora but it is glitchy and the performance after 2 hours of work is abysmal. I am testing the move to Figma and if it works, goodbye dual boot.

I saw an affinity Linux installer a few weeks ago. Maybe it works to install affinity. Photoshop is also compatible with Wine now. They got the installer working recently

Not him, but for me it was iTunes to put pirated music on my phone.

I managed with virtualbox and a win 11 vm.

Sideload Sidestore+LiveContainer, install EeveeSpotifyReborn, music solved unless you’ve got extremely eclectic tastes.

Wonder what slop (not necessarily LLM/AI) they'll do elsewhere to compensate.

Imagine if they just start selling clippy NFTs

What is this decision? They should just double down on the AI uselessness and tell the people that they're all wrong, that's what a strong company would do!

Don't give up now Microsoft, you can do it!

Have they walked back copilot in notepad yet? That’s when I got fed up and switched, but I don’t go back now even if they do get rid of it.
