Hey y’all, today I experienced another push for Linux from our friend Microsoft. 5 minutes ago, I wanted to use the timer app on Windows, so I could manage my work/break schedule, and this fucker showed up. Yes, that’s a prompt to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the clock. If you close it, it pops up 30s later. Clicking “Don’t sign in” or closing the process responsible for displaying it is useless, and guess what… IT PAUSES THE TIMER WHEN IT SHOWS UP.

I guess this is another thing added to the super long list of things which will eventually make me switch my main workstation to Linux once win10 is discontinued.

/endrant

Hope y’all are having a great day :3

      For my part, I couldn’t care less about your windows app frustrations and your “intention to leave Windows”.

      If I wanted to hear what’s happening on Windows, I would have subscribed to some Windows related channels. I didn’t.

      Your post has nothing to do with Linux.

        as the inverse to this, I like to be reminded how much Windows sucks so I don’t feel any desire to reinstall it

      “Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.” I guess you could argue that mentioning linux counts? Have you tried any distros yet? I’d recommend just downloading some onto a live USB and seeing what you like!

        So Android definitely counts.

        I used to dual boot pop os and windows, but stopped once I had too many issues trying to run non Linux native software trough wine. Once I’ll get my workflow Linux ready, I think I’ll use some distro with KDE

      You sound like an abused bf/gf who just can’t build up the courage to leave the scumbag they are with. Take the step towards a better life
