People familiar with Microsoft's plans say that the company moving to streamline or remove certain Copilot integrations across in-box apps like Notepad and Paint in 2026, after pushback from users.
I appreciate what you’re saying. I will agree 100% it’s gotten worse. I use it because I have a software that will never work on anything else, and a piece of hardware that only has drivers for windows.
I just find the argument to be disingenuous that Linux is this - to use the Ron Popwil catchphrase - set it and forget it OS. And I’m not suggesting you made that, but I see it often.
And so because I’m stuck with my work software (which I will use until I die because retirement isn’t real), I just don’t feel like going over to Linux is going to somehow better my life. I get along more than fine on Windows, same as I always have. I do get the itch to try Linux though, just to see, and so the constant bombardment here on Lemmy might be working. I did try Red Hat briefly 20+ years ago, but that’s about the limit of my experience. I wanted to take over a MUD that had gone extinct.
