Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11. It comes after Windows update quality issues and complaints about the operating system.
Already switched to Linux… super happy with it.
Too little, too fucking late!
Make it less shit dumbass
Too late for me. But thanks for telling me my computer wasn’t good enough for Win 11 and forcing me to install Linux. It was a breeze, and computing is fun again.
Yah, that’s bullshit. They hate their users and want them dead but buying things somehow.
Fuck 'em
It should not be hard to browse local files on a computer.
Why are you using local files when you have a cloud???!

Thanks. I think I just puked in my mouth.
“Everything will be a service. You will own nothing. You will accept this reality”
You will not just accept, you will embrace. You will feel cold and empty when you taste freedom, for you will not understand it or know what to do with it.
I mean, kind of. Not owning anything or being able to do what I want with our PCs will really free up a lot of time for other hobbies such as hunting billionaires for sport.
Could’ve fooled me…
MS is about to learn how hard it is to build trust in commercial markets, and why it’s a terrible decision to set that on fire for a short term profit. Honestly, it’s hard to find a better example of a company that had a more comfortable and ideal position in their market, that just decided to disrupt itself without any pressure or prompting. You wanna gamble, you gotta be ready to lose.
They’ll never read nor act on this feedback, but here’s my list:
- drop the AI
- drop the ads
- stop pushing services, namely cloud
- stop requiring Microsoft accounts
Honestly win10 was great when it dropped. Not sure why we needed 11.
To be fair, I think they knew that. Which is why they said up front that windows 10 was the last windows you’d need. And then for some reason they kept going…
Marketing bullshit. Microsoft isn’t going to actually reverse any of the enshittification it’s inflicted on Windows.
If you don’t have any customer mandated software that requires Windows, I’m looking at you AutoDesk, then do yourself a favor and go ahead take the week to install and learn Linux Mint.
Enshittification, as always, is the word here. It’s important to point out because to disenshittify(?) the product would need to turn back the wheel, including profits. Line go down.
With all the other lines going down, they literally cannot course correct here in any way that would matter to the consumer to rebuild trust. So much of their model is built off of force feeding users and directing their behaviors, the thing they absolutely hate.
I’ve been wanting to install Linux, but I don’t have a drive large enough to back up my windows installation.
You can install on an external USB drive. As long as it’s USB 3, there will be little performance difference vs an internal HD (SSD likely slower, but good enough for everyday work)
Do you really need the entire installation? Would only the user folder(s) (C:\Users) suffice?
Alternatively, you could install Linux mint on a large enough USB stick and run it off there, if you don’t mind the longer read/write times. You’d also need to change the boot order for it too.
Way too fucking late for that.
You want trust? Fuck off with Slopilot and start supporting windows 10 again.
Not like that. More like building trust by like telling you “trust us bruh”. See how we did that? See how by calling you bruh we sound more down to earth and trustworthy?
Next week:
“We’ve listened to your feedback and have made the hard decision. Copilot will henceforth bear the likeness of Clippy”
Honestly I think people would unironically that as an option.
Maybe if they keep making it worse and worse it will kind of circle back to good.
“I see you’re trying to edit this config file and respect your choice to do so. May I take this task over from you? No wait, I’ll make a test run and save it elsewhere for review. No wait, that’s too forward of me, I’ll delete it instead.
Come to think of it I’ll delete myself as well, goodbye”

That’s a kind of horseshoe theory I haven’t heard of :D
