Had to deal with lots of Microsoft stuff today at work. Am now questioning my life choices. Maybe I should start living in a buddhist monastery or something. 🤔
It always amazes me just how bad Microsoft’s “products” are. I actually thought Windows 95 to XP where really good, lightweight (relatively speaking) and flexible.
I got a Windows PC for gaming a while back, which is Windows 10 I think. The entire thing is just a cesspit of surveillance and adverts. But, with the added benefit, of having to pay for a closed source proprietary piece of garbage.
Why anyone would choose to use that over Linux or a Mac is beyond me. Don’t get me wrong, macOS is still trash. But miles better than that Windows disaster.
@markwylde@twtxt.net Windows ME, is that you? =P
For me, Windows 10 has been really usable, and usually, they work well on pairs (WIn 95 SE, 98 SE, XP XP2, 7, 10…)
I use Win above a Mac due to the cost, I could buy 3 PC for my team with the price of a single Mac (although I really need a new Mac Mini M1 for publishing)
And now with WSL I can run Ubuntu and do a lot of stuff I did on Mac, so… Works pretty well for what I’m doing (basically Open-sourced languages and servers, and develop games)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de go for it! 🧘
@thecanine@twtxt.net do you recommend updating to Win 11? I haven’t updated due to fear of breaking my current dev environment and being kind of comfy with current Win 1 (after years of using MacOS, I have 2 years of Win10, being OK)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de you felt that? I thought the switch 3.11 to 95 was a huge improvement on UI (or maybe I’m just nostalgic, it was 27 years ago)
@thecanine@twtxt.net Thanks! It’s an i7. I haven’t found a strong reason to update, I think I’ll stay on 10 for a while. #prayForMe
