    I get cheap hardware. A hardware intensive OS seems stupid to me. I want my computer running the programs that I want, not wasting memory and CPU usage on the OS instead.

    Plus I've gotten a notification on every laptop I own from Windows telling me to upgrade followed by something saying that they are below specs for the upgrade

    [–] barsquid@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

    "Time to upgrade!"

    "Ok..."

    Windows 10 and Windows 11 are basically the same

    Prove me wrong

    I need to click twice to get to the 7zip options.

    [–] PrinzKasper@feddit.org 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    NanaZip is a fork of 7Zip that integrates nicely with the Win11 context menu

    Does linux still have problems with Nvidia graphics cards?

    [–] padge@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago (3 children)

    Yes, but Nvidia finally open sourced their driver so hopefully that'll change soon

    I used to pride myself in Linux uptime on my desktop. Went without rebooting for months at a time. Back then, I wouldn't let myself dual boot

    Some people these days are actually looking to give up Adobe. You know it has to be bad for them to want to make massive changes to there workflow. I think it has to do with Adobe using your data for AI.

    Using Windows to play CoD is like being in a polyamorous relationship, where everyone just loves to abuse you

    [–] hipsterdoofus@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    AutoHDR/SpecialK, AFMF, proper scaling on multiple monitors with mixed resolutions, Freesync

    In time I'll switch, but for me the extra gaming features on W11 are just nice.

    [–] Presi300@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

    But all of these things, except AutoHDR (coming soon tm) already exist on linux though... Scaling and Freesync, especially haven't been an issue on linux for a while if you use the right desktop (KDE Plasma or GNOME on wayland)

    Fusion360 is the only software I use that I cannot get running on Linux. So my wife's last macbook now lives to play Tidal in our garage and run NoMachine so I can remote into it for Fusion.

    oooooooohohohohohoho you really got me with that last one.

    Though at least I’m only addicted to R6: Siege and not CoD or Valorant like a fucking pleb

    Edit: a MASSIVE /s I do unironically love Siege and it is actually what’s keeping Windows installed on my PC, but I admit it’s in no way a good reason to keep malware on my machine

    I haven't left because W11 IoT LTSC exists. No AI, no store, options to disable all the telemetry, no bloat. It's what a Windows system should be and is pleasant to use. Also Tidal music doesn't have a viable Linux option 😢. Oh and Quest 2 PCVR streaming.

    I also have a Bazzite install I hop on pretty frequently, and it's getting rather close to me switching which one is my daily driver OS. And leaving a Windows Install for Battlefield. Valorant, and VR.

    Edit: Also, it would be a huge shame for someone to waste their time looking for the IoT LTSC .iso on a website massgravedotdev.

    Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 23H2? Or the Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2 Preview?

    I hope fusion 360 gets a Linux version

    [–] barsquid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

    I will hope I can decipher FreeCAD's interface instead.

    VR is literally the only reason my next PC will still have Windows.

    [–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago (5 children)

    Adobe, OK. SolidWorks? Nah. NX is a higher-end CAD solution (costs more though) and runs on RHEL or SUSE
