Isn't this old news? Has anyone actually moved to Linux because of this?
- tracker1 2y agoI did... I mean, I had a dual boot setup long before that, and about half my time was in WSL. When I saw ad results in the start menu search on an Insiders build, I changed my boot default to my Linux drive and have booted into windows twice in as many years on my personal desktop.
- tapoxi 2y agoI did. I built a new PC recently and put Fedora Kinoite on it. There are still rough edges but many less than there used to be, for the most part stuff works "out-of-the-box". It's my personal machine that I do hobby development and some gaming on. There's a handful of games where the anti-cheat won't work on Linux but the games I play (Counter-Strike, Hunt: Showdown, Halo Infinite) are fine.

- aeurielesn 2y agoI use my PC less since I got a Steam Deck. I only have Windows for gaming.
- stn8188 2y agoThis is a new "intrusion" and in fact it even happened on my work computer (Win 11 Pro). I was shocked to see it the other day, but honestly I shouldn't be. We see Microsoft pushing out their AI copilot thing, putting a pride flag in the start menu in June, etc. I can't wait to get my personal computer back to Linux (as soon as I finish up my master's work).
- mac-attack 2y agoLast summer, I dual booted Linux for a few weeks and then made the plunge. My reason was that my desktop didn't meet the TPM requirements and I saw the writing on the walls re: subscriptions as a service, Reddit API apocalypse, etc. To those interested, I say WSL -> Dual boot a browser -> dual boot more -> make the plunge. It is unlearning/relearning ways of doing things that have been ingrained since elementary school for many of us, so there's an initial learning curve.
