Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11. It comes after Windows update quality issues and complaints about the operating system.
By the time they fix it, it’ll be Windows 12. We see the pattern over and over again, but this time they tried strong arming people onto 11. Those people aren’t going back.
Windows 11.1
Reminds me of Vault 111, where the overseer is the friendly dictator that knows best and should never be questioned. Seems like a fitting version number
… but it was already too late. They alienated their users completely and Linux is soooo nice.
I guess I have to thank MS for pushing me into using Linux Mint. And I love it.
I prefer to use Linux. Arch Linux.
No one is impressed by arch users.
it’s a joke dum dum
I’m impressed. He uses arch
How often do they clean install? ;)
Microsoft is working to rebuild trust in their turd prison
Ooohh wow, they are? I’m so happy about that, I can’t wait to get my hands on their turd and be told what to do and be limited to only their wishes and pay them through the nose!
I mean who wouldn’t want to work with a vibe coded piece of shit that can only run on the most expensive hardware? Who wouldn’t trust a company who left security holes open for half a year causing the US government to be hacked by China, just because they didn’t wanted to look bad nad potentially lose money?
The company that constantly non stop has done everything to get themselves more money, at the cost of software quality l, consumer sanity and everything good since it’s founding some 5 decades ago is now telling me they really do care about me? The company that wants to add advertising into fucking basic software like operating systems juuuuust to squeeze some more money out of decades old products, that wants to monitor your every move so they can use and sell your data, wants … Me? They real care about me, the end user?
Go get pounded by a bag of umbrella dicks you motherfuckers
Hey Satya, just give us Win10 back and fuck off, you bald fraud.
We have that. It’s called Linux
I use both Windows and Ubuntu/Mint for personal use, WSL for personal dev environment (because MS SQL Server on Docker limits what I do), Ubuntu/Redhat for dev/test/prod environments.
I like Linux but it can be a hassle little things so Windows.
Nah, windows 10 was still sluggish spyware/adware.
I would only ever consider switching back to windows if they updated windows 7 with the latest kernel/security updates.
No apps, ads, ai, or shitty UI frameworks.
A functioning offline-only search, a cohesive/responsive UI, and control over if/when updates get installed.
Thought about that but some newer storage and network connections may not be supported.
good luck with that.
Good luck with that - you would need to scrap the entire operating system.
And a lot of leadership and investors
There was a theory that Microsoft could just release a Linux distro with a first party windows skin on it
If planned obsolescence wasn’t a concern this would be a decent way to improve - use the Linux kernel, ported or recreated interface and a compatibility layer for games or whatever it is that keeps people on Windows.
They can’t scrap their whole operating system: the only thing keeping people on Windows is its backwards compatibility.
And people in hell want ice water.
It should not be hard to browse local files on a computer.
Why are you using local files when you have a cloud???!

Thanks. I think I just puked in my mouth.
“Everything will be a service. You will own nothing. You will accept this reality”
You will not just accept, you will embrace. You will feel cold and empty when you taste freedom, for you will not understand it or know what to do with it.
I mean, kind of. Not owning anything or being able to do what we want with our PCs will really free up a lot of time for other hobbies such as hunting billionaires for sport.

Are Microslop going to rebuild trust by being broken up into smaller companies? Doubtful!
Hey Microslop use Cortana to replace your shit CEO and the whole C-Suite
I have a strong feeling they won’t be removing the spying, AI everywhere, ads, and bloatware. Microsoft views those as positives.
Tech has long been in the era of surveillance capitalism. Windows, Chrome, MacOS/iOS(iAds, NewsApp, notarization security, mediaanalysisd, and the most locked down hardware on earth), Android, the majority of all of the apps in the various walled gardens are all out to extract, analyze and monetize every aspect of our digital lives… which is a lot of our waking hours.
As users of these services we all need to ask ourselves if the companies who now make up the lion-share our retirement savings, who collectively dictate how we view and interact with the world really have anything but their own best interests in mind.
Most people would say no but “what am I supposed to do?”. People really need to understand that power like the kind that these mega-corps have is only taken and basically never surrendered willingly. Vote with your dollars now and for as long as it takes to see the fall of these vile companies.
Seems they’re figuring out you can’t sell ads and AI on your platform if nobody wants to use your platform.
If Microsoft walks back their use of AI in the development of Windows, that would be a major admission of failure on their part.
But it will probably help prolong their market dominance a great deal. Because up until they started destroying their own OS, all they needed to do to remain on the top was literally nothing.
Plus getting closer with the govt contracts to allow private data to be surveillance.
As positives for them ;)
Marketing bullshit. Microsoft isn’t going to actually reverse any of the enshittification it’s inflicted on Windows.
If you don’t have any customer mandated software that requires Windows, I’m looking at you AutoDesk, then do yourself a favor and go ahead take the week to install and learn Linux Mint.
Enshittification, as always, is the word here. It’s important to point out because to disenshittify(?) the product would need to turn back the wheel, including profits. Line go down.
With all the other lines going down, they literally cannot course correct here in any way that would matter to the consumer to rebuild trust. So much of their model is built off of force feeding users and directing their behaviors, the thing they absolutely hate.
I’ve been wanting to install Linux, but I don’t have a drive large enough to back up my windows installation.
Do you really need the entire installation? Would only the user folder(s) (C:\Users) suffice?
Alternatively, you could install Linux mint on a large enough USB stick and run it off there, if you don’t mind the longer read/write times. You’d also need to change the boot order for it too.
You can install on an external USB drive. As long as it’s USB 3, there will be little performance difference vs an internal HD (SSD likely slower, but good enough for everyday work)
