I did, but I hate Windows 11 so much, I bought a PS5 Pro o avoid it. Windows 10 🙌💎🙌

I bought mine. I had a PS4 Pro and was intentionally holding out for the 5 Pro. I was surprised how easy it was to get one, stock was no issue on launch day. I’m really happy with it, but they aren’t cheap.

I figured when work replaced my machine with a new laptop with Windows 11, I’d give in and upgrade my Windows boxes, but I hate it so much. The UI is a confused mess and it’s so buggy and slow, even on a brand new machine with 32GB of RAM. Just getting around file Explorer feels like the entire machine is coated in molasses. It’s like using a 300 baud modem and I am typing faster than the characters can go. I feel like I am always waiting for files to load, I forget why I even opened an app.

My main machine has been on Linux for a couple years already and Waydroid let’s me run proprietary apps. I’ll probably give up on PC gaming and get a new PS5.

Of course not. They were taking notes as they expect to be next in line to grind the peasants.

Just a thought from experience: Be wary of any critical products and/or taking a job from a company run by an accountant. CrowdStrike CEO… accountant!

Accounting firms are an obvious exception.

Definitely use the Nvidia installer if that is the card you have. Nvidia’s drivers are a common source of problems for me over the years resulting in wasted time troubleshooting. Zero issues since switching to PopOS on 2 Nvidia machines. (1080 laptop and 3090 desktop). No green screens, no blank screen boots or wake up, no kernel module compilation issues. Far more productive and much less frustrating.

The other concern is censorship. Essentially a movie that you bought is on a server and then someone’s decided that words, content, or scenes are no longer appropriate. The video, song, etc, is different from the original and without any notification. The old scenes get sent to the memory hole. Oh dear Winston, I fear we will meet soon!

Backup was on Azure. I get the sentiment on the cloud, but there is no excuse for this incompetence at Google.

It’s great, I use it on 3 machines. Gigabyte Intel laptop with Nvidia GPU, Alien AMD desktop with Nvidia, and a Lenovo Intel desktop with AMD GPU. The separate installer for Nvidia GPUs is an awesome idea and took away my biggest headache (Nvidia driver issues). Installs were a breeze, performance is great. Laptop sleep /wake is very reliable. Intuitive UI and minimal fiddling meant I could get to work instead of troubleshooting issues. I only use Windows occasionally now for a couple games and Windows apps. I highly recommend.

For a developer, I’d try PopOS! It is built on Ubuntu, but doesn’t stray far from it. It has a lot of developer tools and packages either pre installed or easy to access. Simple install process and runs well.

They didn’t apologize. Headlines just say they did.

Yeah it’s a classic case of Microsoft marketing. So far I found the office integration to be the least useful and most over hyped in marketing. However what it is good at is actually helpful. Join a meeting late it already has an update for what’s happened on the meeting so far and it’s really good for summarizing a meeting especially a key topics and a summary of action items. Tedious tasks like taking data copied from a PDF file and reformatting it correctly in CSV. And my favorite is making custom graphics based on a specific colour palette, though most images are really good for entertainment, demos and samples, but not production quality for final products. Weird results include creepy human images just don’t look right in a disturbing zombie-like way.
