      I still dual boot for a few games and one piece of hardware that just don’t work on GNU/Linux, but I’m almost certainly never going back.

      There was an ad for Tik Tok in my Start Menu after the last update. Fuck everything about that sentence.

        Uhh what hardware isn't working? Is it something really niche? For some reason I like hearing about stuff like that.

          I also keep a windows boot around just for updating my tomtom wirh map updates. Tried under Linux but the mydrive software just will not work. If anyone knows how to update a tomtom rider 400 under Linux, let me know.

        It’s even better when you work in a corporate environment, pay more for the Enterprise or Pro version and still get ads about TikTok and Candy Crush forced onto your users! 😁

        Why yes, Microsoft, I was expecting for you to forcefully install mobile games onto our computers in our network.

          If your corporate environment didn't use GPO to just disable the suggestions (just like what you can do on the home edition to get rid of any and all ads), then I suggest they get someone actually knowledgeable in IT to manage their servers.

            That’s not the point. No business should have to create GPOs to stop this sort of shitty behavior when they buy the edition that was specifically made for enterprise use.

            You’d have a point for any business that buys the Home edition and then complains about the forced ads/apps.

        As one of them, no thank you. Windows is doing plenty of other crap and I don’t like and it turns out linux is kinda fun. Also once I finally understand what I’m doing I can set up a home server and other cool stuff.

        Also I’m not european so I can’t actually switch back
