    So you mean they want windows to have something that Linux has had for 20 years? Android has also had this since ~2017 too.

    It keeps trying. I keep denying it.

    I would far rather pay a fee for an OS, like I did for every computer I built up to Win 7, and not have to deal with M$oft’s BS and ad-pushing.

    I remember some years ago there was a “malware” going around that would flash OpenWRT onto people’s routers, and set them to have more secure default settings.

    There should be another thing like that, but one that upgrades Windows into a Linux distro.

        Gemini claims it doesn’t exist when I prompted it for finding more info, so for the sake of testing out Gemini’s capability of searching I’m doubly interested if this exists.

    So they are going back to the way Linux does it since forever?

    Why not just go image based? Instant reboots and even faster updates.

    Even if Windows does this, trust me, if you have any Razer products, Razer will fill in the gaps for them.

    That shit restarts my Windows machine nearly every fucking day.

      I love that the Razer installer pops up during windows intital setup. Seriously, chill out Razer, I don’t want to sign in to you while I’m bypassing the Microsoft forced sign in.

        It looks like you changed the position of your mouse cursor. Would you like to reboot to apply these changes?
