Because “make” = “buy”

Cool beans

I haven’t used win11 yet and my work laptop uses win10 so although I can’t claim any of the benefits you listed aren’t accurate, my issues with windows go a little deeper than “win10 and earlier lack features 11 has”.

On the WSL front, sure it’s kinda cool and a way better programming experience, but it’s still just linux under windows, so I find myself asking why I wouldn’t just use linux, hardly a dub for windows.

The elephant in the room for me is the invasive software, of course. Win11 looks to be even more guilty of this with the likes of copilot and recall, but I can hard copium, bury my head in the sand and ignore these for the sake of work (with a smile on my face I guess).

Equally though, I simply don’t find win10 enjoyable to use, and I’m not confident win11 is the solution. I use a tiling window manager on my home desktop so Windows’ floating window manager isn’t going to appeal to me. Installing and updating software is okay for some programs but annoying for others, never great. Sure, windows finally realised package managers were a thing, but winget leaves a lot to be desired for me.

Also, why does an operating system need ads? Genuine question.

I try to justify that windows is okay for corporate, but that’s requiring some hardcore copium.

Can’t play league on linux

Actually a good thing

Souls veteran here, we all had to start somewhere. While I found it a bit easier to pick up Elden Ring with my experience from previous games, it’s worth noting it took me around 30 hours for everything to “click” when I first played DS1.

In my experience, the souls games have always rewarded exploration, and Elden Ring is no exception. If anything, it encourages it more than any of the previous games. Look around for new weapons and upgrade meterials to give yourself an edge.

When it comes to bosses or tough sections, there is no shame in summoning. Whether it’s other players or NPCs, feel free to use all the help you need and engage in jolly cooperation.

Keep at it tarnished! As we said in DS1, don’t you dare go hollow.

Even though I take issue with the BBC, I hope they choose to stay on mastadon in the long term. A large organisation like the BBC on a federated platform is sure to spread word and hopefully convince more people to join the fediverse and see it a a feasible alternative to the current big tech landscape.
