Too many people are talking about the #banking collapse contagion (over stated, irrelevant) and not enough people are talking about Mastodon's "hmmmm everyone seems to use #Linux on here, wonder if I should turn this into a Linux desktop" contagion (existential threat, looming)

Microsoft gonna have to inject billions of Windows keys to stabilize the OS market.

@glassbottommeg The joke here is that all Microsoft needs to do to rebuild trust is make a lighter version of Windows & put user agency back as priority #1.

I suspect most users are happy with the base desktop experience-- but we're all so tired of being persistently reminded that our desktops are not ours to control.

I want to use the OS without constant / needless disruptions. No auto-updates, less background processes (that are blatantly against my best interests), and no upsells.

@RogDolos @glassbottommeg i left win11 in my laptop because I figured it would be useful experience and if it was my primary system it wouldn't be because it would have gone through a window over onedrive nagging
