With this meme, obviously
Hi. Linux user here. I think Windows Recall is bad. I think you should not use it. Thanks.

Use the title "I need help with Windows 11".
Linux users will flood the comment section.
Install tinycore 😎
Still on W10 with 7 year old hardware. When it finally croaks, I will not be replacing the OS. MS once said W10 would be their 'final' OS and by Jove, I will make it so in my household.
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
i hear linux mint feels a lot like 7/10 wink wink
To be fair though, for my ancient 2012 MacBook Pro, Linux Mint has made it actually useable and useful around the house.
I have a c.2011 MBP… did everything work automagically upon installation? Like WiFi, graphics acceleration, trackpad, sleeping, etc
Yes, on my 2015 one it even fixed my broken keyboard lol
Well, it took a little tinkering but yeah.
For the WiFi, it doesn’t install the Broadcom drivers by default so once you install the os you have to keep the thumb drive that you installed from in, and go into the driver manager and it will detect your Broadcom and the driver will be selectable. Then your WiFi will work.
Trackpad: The cursor would randomly stop moving and you would have to pick up your finger and set it back down again to get it to start moving again. Annoying. I found that installing Synaptics solves that. Trackpad works great now.
I don’t know how to test graphics acceleration. But videos play fine and retro games from NES to PlayStation work great. Haven’t tried PS2+ or Xbox yet but we’ll see.
Cool thank! I’ll have to try it out
I think the original commenter is saying they do not plan to replace it with something running W11.
Oh!
Are you saying you just won't compute anymore, or you will attempt to install a legacy OS on hardware decades after it will be obsolete? (Almost certainly won't work)
I will be switching to Linux when either this hardware fails or W10 stops getting security updates.
Gotcha. That is a good plan. I still have a win 10 partition I rarely use but pop os is way more pleasant on a daily basis imo
🤮 No thanks, just left, sick and tired of having personal information and my content stolen.
This was seriously the reason why I switched from a majority Windows user to a majority Linux user. From 2017-2023, Microsoft was doing the usual bad things, but they were not adding any new appalling crap and at least making some effort in improving things (W11 release nonwithstanding).
You can make a political post to lure lemmy users to a comment section
Since lemmy users are just a subset of linux users, all those commenters will be using linux
PSA: This is not a Linux community and I didnt want this post to actually start a discussion on Linux. It's very meta that people do really come in here and talk about Linux instead of talking about the Fediverse.
You are beyond delusional if you think the Fediverse is not intrinsically related to Linux and pretty much all major FOSS schools of thought.
Woosh
Classic Redditor reply. Thank you, no thank you. 💀
Careful, they bite!
Mention systemd.
System deez nuts!
I can't wait for kerneld, desktopd and shelld, so I can finally run a fully systemd system.
bigd energy
It is for me. I already wasn't hot about Windows 11 and this year I went full Linux.
Has it been without problems? No, although most of my problems stem from dealing with the Windows partition I still keep on my desktop just in case. (Protip: Use NTFS-3G instead of NTFS3; the latter is horribly unstable.) Getting PipeWire to run my Bluetooth headphones on 44100 Hz to avoid crackling in Windows games was a bit arcane, admittedly.
On the upside, KDE looks nice with the default Breeze theme (I think that windows 10 and 11 are butt-ugly). My computers feel noticeably snappier and especially the networking stack blows Windows out of the water. KDE Connect makes sharing data between my devices comfortable. All games I've tried so far run well, with the biggest issue so far being that in Satisfactory I can't copy/paste settings between buildings.
I'm happy. There are still some areas that need work but it's pretty damn good already.
As a workaround, perhaps you could copypaste from the Notes part of the Steam overlay. That's what I needed to migrate loot filters in Last Epoch. Not ideal, but hope this helps
When I just tried to see if I could fix the issue it was no longer there. Apparently the Satisfactory 1.0.3 update silently fixed it. Nice.
Say that Arch and Nix are stupid and anything other than Ubuntu is just meaningless.
Arch is stupid, though.
I use Arch, by the way.
You spelled OpenSUSE Tumbleweed wrong.
