Microsoft, quietly, has published a guide on how to download and install Linux.

No... Seriously... It is not a joke...

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install

The article was published September 29, 2023 (9 days ago).

The guide provides every option available, too. Starting with using their Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), to using a Virtual Machine, and even on "Bare Metal" alongside Windows.

That's right, Microsoft now tells you how to dual-boot Linux. 🤯

I haven’t used as a daily driver in more than 5 years, so when I look at it, it’s with the eyes of someone who is not used to its weird, or, frankly, bad, design. I’ve worked in UX for 10 years, and some decisions Windows made are really sub-par.

And still, the bad user experience of Windows has a negative impact on desktops. Here is why!

After basically the whole cloud was hacked (see list of related sources on https://karl-voit.at/cloud/ ), the first follow-up incidents went public caused by missing containment actions:

60,000 emails were stolen from 10 accounts

If you didn't understand until now: basically EVERYTHING at Microsoft got hacked and Microsoft can't (or won't) get rid of the intruders. Everything authenticated by Microsoft is tainted. Even auth.

I have been building browsers for 30 years now. First Opera and now Vivaldi. My estimate is that more than 1 billion have used one of my browsers or both. Have you?

Feel free to share your story!

So for blind Windows users, what mail client do you use? I'm kinda getting tired of Gmail, having to hear lots of stuff before each message, and having to turn on browse mode and arrow through all that to get to the message, all that. And Thunderbird is messy in 115. I might have to just get used to Outlook.

:boosts-OK:

wait, what? I have to create a microsoft account to use the new dell I just bought for my mum?

What kind of fuckery is this? Yes I googled the work arounds but they don't seem to work.

I haven't used windows for years. I literally had no idea it had come to this.

Why is it that there is no version / distribution of that does exactly what does? Well, without the bad aspects like spying on you.

I wonder if Microsoft is somehow suppressing this possibility… otherwise everyone would be using Linux 🤷

looks like it's going to be building it's tool called directly into their OS. They're also including a Copilot in Office and Edge. Basically all Microsoft products will have a built in "assistant". If you're concerned about AI having access to your data, it's going to be much more difficult to avoid in the near future. Adding to the concern is this is black box AI. It's not open. We have no idea what's going on inside that digital head.

A lot of people often refer to based operating systems as a or a alternative, but Linux can also do a lot of things that its competitors simply can’t.

So let’s look at the things only Linux can do, and that Windows and macOS wished they could:

today I've heard for the first time about the open-source screen reader project for written in . Unfortunately only Readme has an English version, all other documents and code comments are in chinese, but the project seems very promising. Use Google Translate or another translator if you, like me, don't speak Chinese. https://gitcode.net/mzdk100/rigela

I've been too lazy or just content enough to work with Windows Explorer until now. But I seriously need to look for an alternative. The amount of fuckery that Microsoft has done with this app in Windows 11 is just mind-boggling. None of it needed to happen. One more crash and it's gone! it should be in the next 10 minutes.

Accessible alternative recommendations welcome.

I feel like I am fighting Linux, and I'm not in the mood to fight my computer.

If there was a current hackintosh I could easily use, today, I'd switch to MacOS at the moment.

I'll be damned if I go back to Windows... That's not happening. But with that said, I'm not in the mood to fight with my computer, today.

I really don't understand how people tolerate . I booted back into my Windows 11 install tonight, and it was a total shit show.

AMD graphics driver needed to update, but it couldn't because there was a Windows update pending. When that finally finished and I rebooted, the graphics driver update took a solid 15 minutes (I have gigabit internet...)

And then the ads: "Try Xbox Game Pass!" "Turn on your OneDrive backup!"

Meanwhile, the system is running SO SLOW compared to Kubuntu.
