I tried, I really did
Same as you, in IT forever, ...I switched, and I'm never going back. It's fast, and it's brought the joy back for me. Nvidia needs to do better, but that was the only difficulty I had.

Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12
Building this into the OS is clearly unnecessary, there's obviously another motive here...sweet user behavior data?

What's the best concert or live performance you've ever attended, and what made it unforgettable?"
Queen, news of the world tour, opening with "we will rock you". Second is ELO and Kansas with a deadly laser light show. Nothing else has come close. I am old.

I never felt there was a good reason for this app, they sell stuff online, and that works just fine in a browser without an app spying on my every move.

I respect people who don't like snaps, but Canonical will not abandon a successful project

I installed mint on my second PC, and it's great. I feel like migrating my main, but I'm not sure it would go smoothly. I've had a lot of issues with my four months old Ubuntu install, lately the keyboard is nonfunctional at the login screen about half the time. Snaps are another reason making me want to leave it behind.

Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps
Reply in thread
It's because out of the box there's often issues. For example, my setup with a 3080 booted to a black screen at login. Only futzing in the command prompt via grub let me install the correct driver, and it's been fine ever since then.

So far for me, games are running faster on Linux than win11. I've gone over a month without booting widows now.

Switched to Linux and I think I'm going back to Windows.
Dual boot is the gateway I stepped through many years ago. It's been months now since I chose team MS. I do lot of dev, gaming, and media work, and it's all faster on the linux side. With the recent forced data mining "feature" update, I really doubt I'll keep it around for my next upgrade.
So I'm just offering dual boot may be a good scenario. And also, popping in another drive is better than messing with your windows drive.

Microsoft Launcher Beta gains Copilot functionality - GSMArena.com news
I tried this out and it's a good launcher once configured, but it's time to look for a new one now. Msft is working hard to lose long time customers.

A customized version of Canoo's electric delivery van for the USPS has been spotted in the wild
I believe this has easily swappable battery packs. That feature alone makes so much sense it could give them an edge.

Still no way to set a default version of a movie, right?
I put the versions of movies in a folder by title, then add a suffix like " - HD" and " - UHD4K" to the move file names. It defaults to the first in the list which is in alphabetical order, and shows a choice for each version.
