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

    I have moved my laptop over to kubuntu for a while now, but I have too many workflows that rely on windows ) :

      was in the same situation for a while, but I switched a few weeks ago and I’ve never since looked back

      better to start figuring out your workflow on linux now than waiting for shit to hit the fan and do it in a hurry.
