Image transcription: a meme that reads"I wish windows had a universal hotkey to open linkedin on my default browser ctrl + shift + alt + win + L:" below is an image of Mercy from Overwatch holding her hand out in a gesture that suggests offering aid. End transcription.

iirc Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win is an alias for the Office key found on some Surface Pro computers, which can be used to open LinkedIn with Office + L

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win is one of the most windows things that could happen. You just press some keys that should do nothing and boom, microsoft ad. I hope the EU version of windows will be stripped of that crap.

whispering give in, dualboot linux

My personal machines are all on linux already. But unfortunately my work laptop isn't and won't be unless I find a different job.

Then let's hope for a better windows in Europe

Dual boot? Disgusting. Windows doesn’t get the privilege of bare metal in my house. It must relegated to a virtual machine

That's good but some people use windows for ~~rootkits~~games that need bare metal or a more difficult vm setup

[–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

VM gaming was a lot easier to setup than I expected. Anything is possible with the Arch Wiki! Some anticheats will block you though, so super competitive games like Counterstrike or Apex Legends are out

Ah, so that's my ctrl+alt+shift+win opens the office app. I discovered that a couple of years ago and I couldn't find it documented anywhere.
