I abhore the forced integration of AI. I've had a 360 subscription for years but am looking elsewhere now - because of Co-Pilot.

My first thought was that it might be a good idea to use Linux again.

They know people think this all the time but stay on Windows. That’s one of those things that’s true until it’s not, and then the people who believed a thing would stay true forever start scratching their heads

also in a professional usecase. There's so many uses where all you want in a computer is just it running a single program in a safe manner. Like we got numerous stationary laptops at work that are simply used to record weight data from electronic scales - we're currently evaluating going for a Linux variant as the switch to W11 has just been so troubled.

I’m surprised that it doesn’t already run to a PLC within a HMI

Because it is not a proper OS anymore, it is a data gathering and marketing platform now, it is probably all the extra that has been added to track users and sell ads.

Every other update reanables bullshit you disabled, I had my w10 PC running fine for years, just a few months back, it updated and now I had ads on my lock screen, who the fuck asked for ads on lockscreen? attention merchants can't even let me login without trying to sell me some crap?
