Microsoft’s aggressive push for AI integration in Windows 11—coupled with the end of Windows 10 support—has accelerated user migration to Linux distributions like never before. From #ZorinOS for everyday use to #Bazzite for gaming, the open-source community is thriving as users seek stability, privacy, and control. Steam upgrades also made most gamers switch to Linux.
Is this the wake-up call Microsoft needed? Or just another chapter in the #Microslop saga? #Windows11 #Linux #opensouce
I wish that 10 years ago #Nextcloud and #OwnCloud hadn't dissipated their energy arguing and forking, as if it had been a viable solution then my employers would have gone for them rather than #MS365 and now we are stuck with it as Sharepoint is to be fair quite useful (it basically gets used as a giant NAS) and has even had UI and usability improvements.
You can run the whole of the web-based MS365 part on Linux (I've tried it with success) but I still need the desktop app #VBA for some stuff I do (and also I have OBD2 control software (VCDS) for VW group cars that will *only* work on Windows, the devs have flat out refused to port it to Linux (I suspect because they don't want the dongle being reverse engineered)
