Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to integrate AI shortcuts, or what it calls AI actions, into the File Explorer in Windows 11. These shortcuts let you right-click on a file and quickly get to Windows AI features like blurring the background of a photo, erasing objects, or even summarizing content from Office files.

Four image actions are currently being tested in the latest Dev Channel builds of Windows 11, including Bing visual search to find similar images on the web, the blur background and erase objects features found in the Photos app, and the remove background option in Paint.

If Linux was more compatible with a lot of programs/games there would be absolutely no reason to install windows ever again

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 2 points 44 minutes ago

Wine or Proton will make just bout anything you run on windows run.

Linux is compatible with a lot more than it used to be, and for those stubborn programs, there are usually FOSS alternatives, or emulation/compatibility layers. Hell, my machine runs games faster through Proton on Linux in 1440p than it did natively on Windows in 1080p.

I finally switched to full-time Linux last year and I haven't missed anything. The only stuff that doesn't work (and doesn't have a good alternative) are games with invasive anti-cheat that I wanted to boycott anyway.

Most is the anti cheat games are not working on Windows either. They only give you some dubious error message.

I'll just go by protondb.com and most what I want to play is either gold or platinum rated, or even native.

I only have 106 games in my library, and out of those 66 are native, 43 are gold or platinum and 1 is unrated. I've bought nearly all of then before even switching from Windows to Linux about nine months ago.

Using arch btw.
