Linux: No ads, it's free and easier than ever to install.

Once you people have finally had enough, Linux and/or Libre Office will be right there. Waiting.

Also Microsoft: “Why aren’t people upgrading to Windows 11?”

They are seriously making the case for Linux with everything they do

Advertising has no place in an operating system. Full stop.

I swear, Microsoft YEARNS to fail. Dunno who is running the show over there but they're doing a great job of being terrible for their brand.

Luckily at work we are allowed to install a dual boot, or even single boot with Linux. The one obligation is to run the corporate antivirus and vpn client (and yes we had malware detections of Linux binaries).

Dual booting for the last 6 months, now 100% on Linux (Mint). Can’t say I miss anything from windows, maybe ms office’s polished apps but I can’t care less. Nowadays everything runs in the browser, it has become « the OS ». And almost every browser is a chromium variant that’s it.

"Microsoft testing new ways to lose customers".

It's well known that piracy was what made Word (.DOC) and Excel (.XLS) the de facto standard.

If the kids at home can't use windows, they'll find something different. And when enough of them find if, when they become decision makers they'll stay away from Windows.

Imagine how different the landscape would be had MS cracked down on Piracy for their flagship programs.

Thank goodness I have zero use for any of their products.

I swear, if Microoft pulls a few more of these no-good shenanigans, I might start pondering on considering the possibility of perhąps trying out Linux

They sent me a survey. I told them they're driving me to Linux and libre office.

They have this in Windows 10...to advertise Windows 11.

Will they run in WINE?

Of course they are. Coincidentally, newer devices being bought in 2025 are increasingly shipping with fully locked UEFI that prevents you from installing anything but Windows.

Do it! At this point Linux can do anything windows can do, I want them to fuck it up as much as possible, Fuck Microsoft !

I have a windows game box, it nags me to backup my photos when I visualise 1 (one) image.

What a shit OS it has become lol.

Laughs in libreoffice.

Since I made the switch these kinds of news are hilarious! Yes, make Win 11 into hell! Your customers are your shareholders, users are too be exploited! How long can it last? Who cares, only the next quarter counts!
