@3dpng @jonsnow So many reasons to call it Windows 13 instead.

@liebach @3dpng Windows Copilot One X 360 Professional

@jonsnow "transparent glass elements" - was it Vista with "Aero" UI elements? Failed once, let's repeat the mistake again

[liebach@mastodon.art]

@jonsnow @3dpng Perfect. Then, just before releasing that, they could release a good Windows 12, same as Windows 11 without all the co-pilot and microsoft account crap etc., a really barebones windows version, for those that just want an operating system (99% of users). I think I might even use something like that.

@m3tti @jonsnow If you're blind like me, you have no choice. Well, MacOS and VO. And that's it. Nothing else is viably accessible, desktop-wise. Linux isn't, that's for sure.

@jonsnow The year of Linux, and this time it might be for real.

@jonsnow so is this GOP windows because of the red colour?

@jonsnow It’s strange to see a behemoth die in real time

@jonsnow I'm sticking with 10 until Steam bricks, then I will be forced to figure out how to get my Linux to connect to the interwebz (it used to fine, then at some point, it was like, nope, no interwebz for you!).

Most of the software I use is like 20 years old+ anyway. I was still using Win7 up until about 3 years ago when I got donated my cousin's PC. My plan was Windoze for games and Linux for everything else, but I couldn't get any of my main programs to work on Play on Linux so I had to resign myself to Windows being my main and I use Mint's ssd for backups.

@jonsnow Anyone remember when they said Windows 10 would be the last version? Am I making that up?

Looking at what Satja AI Slop lover Nadella wants to inflict on windows victims

linux userbase should grow more.

@SilverArrows @jonsnow Same here, more or less--I use Linux on my daily driver (an ancient desktop), but audio software on Linux isn't quite up to snuff yet.

I had to edit the registry in Windows 10 to stop it from downloading the Windows 11 update. Windows 10 isn't great, but it isn't using all my system resources to generate data and train AI so Microsoft can increase their stock values with my processor and RAM.

Goddamn I hate Microsoft.

@jonsnow To make it worse, they most likely will name it Windows Copilot OS or WiCOS.

@jonsnow windows advanced next-generation copilot operating system. wanc os

[veenc@mastodon.social]

@jonsnow time to switch to Linux?

[tristan@catnest.net]

@jonsnow time to switch to os/2 warp

[synnef@woof.tech]

@jonsnow Windows? did you mean Wincopilot?

[silverarrows@autistics.life]

@clonedhuman luckily my PC is "not compatible" with 11. But I did have to keeping telling win7 on my crappy old netbook to not install win10 with every update. It could barely handle 7.
