  • Microsoft won’t support Office apps on Windows 10 after October 14th

  • Well, thank GNOME for it being somewhat usable, but I have higher standards.

  • How are they going to drop updates for something they have to spend zero energy on to stay compatible? Windows 11 is a low effort UI re-hash with some minor kernel iterations. I love and miss the Linux desktop and want it to succeed, but it's clear there's a bias here meant to push a narrative.

  • Former burned out core LM developer here, the grass is not always greener (but maybe is if you don't know how the sausage is cooked).

  • I'll use Windows 10 and pay for the updates for years while using old versions of office. Fuck Windows 11.

  • LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVs

  • But how are you going to integrate with active directory? Oh right you can't, it just limits you to Ubuntu. And good luck finding a company with an IT department that knows how to set that up.

  • I'd love to use Linux for work, but my job pays me to endure pain.

  • Meanwhile I am using local models through home assistant. The fact I can run something equivalent to GPT 3.5 turbo on a $800 graphics card kind of negates any of the benefits of these dumb integrations that require NPUs. Maybe Microsoft should bring back basic quality of life improvements that were in Windows 10 in Windows 11 instead of desperately waving their arms around trying to be relevant to consumers. Dumbasses.

  • What do I want to see in the Linux ecosystem in 2025?

    Jump

  • Yeah, there's maintenance and security patching, otherwise distros wouldn't be packaging it...

  • Many of the people that maintain X are the same people working on Wayland implementations. They're pushing people towards the new thing because it makes their lives easier, and that's also the nature of engineer driven product development, it's not going to consider all the edge cases underserved from replacing legacy software because there's nobody to keep them in check.

    Edit: Guess the thought police decided my factual information isn't welcome here because it goes against their feefees.

  • Like all things with open source contribution, it's limited to things being produced based on what freelancers are interested in. This is a double edged sword, when you use a distribution you are using the end result of what its community interest is.

    It's why there's fragmentation and lots of issues with any form of standardization of a UI language that can appeal to the average person because it's a mine field of complexity.

  • What?

  • Windows 11 is getting a new start menu. EDIT: this replaces the "all apps" page by default, not the home screem

    Jump

  • It's hard to even take Windows seriously as a business OS when they're shoving this overly padded UI down everyone's throats. Windows 10 supported small task bars, among many other things that Windows 11 doesn't. There seems to be a lot of really tone deaf people at Microsoft working in silos, not really aware of the features people care about in their own product.

  • Sure he's burned bridges with me and other people I've talked to. They have a habit of reverting people's work and have a lot of back door conversations. Just because it's open source doesn't mean it's collaborative or that anyone has any input in the actual result, regardless of how much work they contribute towards it themselves.

    They also cut a lot of corners and do sloppy work, and when called out on it, that's when they start ostracizing people. They work in bad faith in many situations with outsiders.

    Which is fine we all like different things but what I said was true, take it or leave it, and you guys can fanboy downvote me and I can move on and not actually care either way.

    For the people that really care about this distribution, they're only doing a disservice to themselves by being in denial about Linux mint disappearing tomorrow if a single person goes away, because that's the state of things.

  • I hope Clem enjoys his successes on the backs of the many contributors he's ostracized over the years.

  • I used to help maintain a Linux distro, and there is a level of polish Windows has that I feel cannot be reached by the FOSS ecosystem due the resources dumped into hiring dedicated teams at MS. Microsoft has tons of money. I'm sad about the direction of windows, but it generally works pretty well for how it's designed (which is in some cases awful).

  • Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools

    Jump

  • Windows 11 development was led by the UI team that led Windows 8, and a team responsible for more of the internal Windows development was responsible for Windows 10. You can kind of tell by Windows 11 being an arbitrary UI change with numerous regressions.

  • The lack of a small taskbar mode was all it took for me to never upgrade. Just shows MS doesn't care about its users.
