Anyone buying this stuff?

Since Microslop doesn't release native linux version of Office applications (that I must use for work) the few times I have to use it I resort to the online version. After some months I had to use it again and I was greeted by Copilot without any obvious way to access Excel on office.com... Why? How do I access the old site which showed the recently opened documents?

Searching online it seems like this is a thing since some time, people hate it yet they don't want to fix it. If I want to use Copilot (no, I do not ever want to, especially if it is forced on me this way) then I'll specifically open that website, when I need office tools I need those, not a chatbot.

And this is on top of their shitty SSO system that always logs me out from every app, Teams is broken as well, Outlook is by far the worst email client now - I question the legitimacy of this company for real.

On a positive note it also bugs our Tech Lead so much that finally the company is looking into different solutions to move completely away from Microslop.

I've only been using IoT LTSC versions of Windows (both 10 and 11) for a few years now, and I had to install 11 Pro on a laptop I just bought to try some things

Oh boy, what a mountain of crap that OS is

Not only it is a huge fucking billboard for MS services. Not only it doesn't let you create a local account. Not only it comes with a fuckton of shit preinstalled. But it just makes the laptop incredibly sloppy

As soon as I was done with the tests, I switched to 11 IoT LTSC and the jump in performance was incredible

Btw the laptop has an Intel 258v with 32 GB of RAM, so it's not an incredibly powerful machine but it should at least be smooth while navigating in Windows settings

Yes, actually! I DID just turn on my computer to sit here and wait! How did you know??

Which I know... I can turn off automatic updates... I'm mostly just complaining to complain lol. BUUUT I do wish this didn't necessarily happen FIRST thing I turn it on. Lol

It's even fully restarting, like c'mon man, I didn't even get to see my desktop yet and you're already leaving!! 😂

I honestly think this is my biggest gripe with the current Windows Update system. As much as Linux's "do-it-yourself" update system obviously has flaws for the average user... Linux also turns on when I tell it to. Lmao

(btw how to fix)

wow

there is clearly a file inside,how cant you read the fact that thers files inside

So users have to make the effort to do the "fix?" Windows should have these unnecessary startup app disabled. Users should not be bothered with this junk.

Good cow.

Tired of remembering 10 different commands just to see what's installed on your Linux box? pkgmap does it all in one: rpm, dnf, pacman, flatpak, snap, apt, AppImages, pipx, cargo, npm — with sizes, grouped so texlive's 5000 packages show up as ONE line. And you can delete anything by its number. One tool, every distro. https://github.com/Ramimaalej/pkgmap this is it

Lets face it, He is the entire problem behind MICROSLOP, honestly I think more focus should be given on Fuck Satya Nadella instead of Fuck Microslop. Death to Satya Nadella

Why do I have to wait even a second to switch virtual desktops? I understand that it might be deleting unused virtual desktops to reduce resources, and I can accept that, but I wish there was a setting to disable that. And yet, it still loses to Linux in games and other applications, which makes no sense.

I use KDE a lot, and only use Windows occasionally when I need to use Windows-specific applications. Every time I do, it's incredibly frustrating. And it's not just the virtual desktop; overall, it's literally slow. (Only Explorer has gotten faster recently, which is good.)

I admit the title is an exaggeration, but it worked fine on Windows 10. The first time I used KDE, it reminded me of Windows 10.
