    Too late Microslope. I am already one app away ending dual boot and after that, never again.

    I haven't recovered my Windows partitiion for new space simply because I'm lazy. Haven't booted it in a long time now, haven' needed it. And the last time I did, it was so upset at me. I had a few things I was still using it for, one a game, but aftr not being active in it I went full Linux, and it's so much better. I get some people are still tied to things that aren't quite there for non-Windows, but it's becoming less and less.

    Which app? Does it have a FOSS/Linux alternative? Can it run through Proton/Wine?

    Affinity Studio. I managed to run it in Fedora but it is glitchy and the performance after 2 hours of work is abysmal. I am testing the move to Figma and if it works, goodbye dual boot.

    Not him, but for me it was iTunes to put pirated music on my phone.

    I managed with virtualbox and a win 11 vm.

    I'm stuck with Windows possibly forever or until maybe Valve manages to create a way for kernel based anti cheat to work on Linux, and also because of Clip Studio Paint.

    I heard it's possible, or at least an integrity check good enough that does basically the same thing, but not a rootkit. Anyway, turns out these companies just don't like Linux, and want root privileges to your system.

    I just updated Linux and Windows on different drives on the same laptop. Fedora took 2 minutes to download, reboot and install. Windows? 20 minutes.

    Wonder what slop (not necessarily LLM/AI) they'll do elsewhere to compensate.

    What is this decision? They should just double down on the AI uselessness and tell the people that they're all wrong, that's what a strong company would do!

    Don't give up now Microsoft, you can do it!

    Have they walked back copilot in notepad yet? That’s when I got fed up and switched, but I don’t go back now even if they do get rid of it.
