Microsoft is doing an amazing job ~~keeping me off~~ selling windows 11!

Keep up the great work!

Guess it's time for Linux and for me to give up gaming :/

I switched to Linux last week and I haven't had any issues with my Steam games. Just had to turn on the setting to have Steam provide Linux support for games that don't provide it themselves.

How does anyone put up with using that OS? It’s 2024, it’s time to move on. Sheesh

Windows users are like abuse victims at this point.

No news is good news.

I have to use Outlook for work. It is so annoying to have to avoid the one drive attachment option everytime I attach a file to an email. Nobody wants to be forced to deal with that crap.

Microsoft just seems to be trying various methods of shooting itself in the foot.

I guess maybe they really didn’t learn from the 80s/90s….

They're gambling that it won't be enough to drive the majority of users to other operating systems.

I'm using Linux without Windows' permission either. Shhh don't tell!

How do I get banned from OneDrive? Upload shit tons of garbage to clog their drives? I know they could probably add more space faster than I can upload but it would still make me happy to slowly feed them useless files that only take up space.
