Yeah, that sounds exactly like what everybody were looking for in an OS. /s
I’ve been very happy to be using Linux for the past decade and a half, but never more so than now.
Uh. You really gonna force me to switch to Linux, are you?
Do it.
Just do it, its simple. I moved to Linux Mint and it is essentially no different. Loads the same browsers for everything. Every major piece of software, in my case, has a linux version or at the very least and linux based alternative.
Most importantly, Steam compatibility mode is goddamn amazing.
That is a lot of words to say it will be shittier and have more ads…
I’ve always wanted my OS to be ambient. Whenever I boot SuSE, I’m thinking, “what this needs is to be more ambient”. I’m glad that someone is finally doing something about it.
Maybe this would be enough for people really start to consider Linux.
Good thing my next computer will be a Linux system. :-)
What the fuck does ambient even mean in the context of an operating system? Is it going to be floating around in the atmosphere of my flat? Is the next version of windows gaseous? Is it sarin gas?
I want a good VR OS but this is just silly XD
Thanks for convincing me to get a Mac! I love it so far!!
Mac does things differently…you like a windows manager? like to make your apps fullscreen and switch desktops? use alt+tab a lot? don’t get Mac.
install Linux instead.
Microsoft really doing everything in their power to make sure I never buy another Windows PC.
I setup a Windows 11 laptop for a friend yesterday, I cannot believe the amount of ads built into the new user experience which are disguised as installation options.
I had to find the tiny, low contrast skip button to avoid signing up for more cloud storage, a Copilot subscription, and an Office365 subscription before I was even able to see the desktop.
The entire left side of the start bar seens to be a news feed which shows ads, opening an Office app requires closing a Copilot ad unless you disable it (individually for every application), it’s impossible to create a local user account, it looks like the user folder defaults to their cloud storage so just saving things into your document folder will eventually result in scary “You’re almost out of space, buy more here!” ads disguised as system promots, and your bitlocker recovery key is saved in you Microsoft account.
That’s just what I noticed in the first 20 minutes.
I’m so glad I ejected from that dumpster fire of an OS.
Its so much slower on my old win 10 machine at work. Meanwhile my Linux box got faster
And the normies know nothing different and nothing will change. As we get further to to ad hellscape and they find it normal, we will be the only ones screaming that they are insane for having so many ads.
I can only save myself.
I have successfully converted a friend to Linux though. I walked him through an Arch install becacause it’s easier to teach about the boot process when you’re required to manually install everything.
He quickly discovered EndeavourOS, apparently manual Arch installs are not to his taste…
I have a couple friends i want to convert but theyre so impatient and expect everything instant without learning so yeah, not good for linux. I’d guess this describes most humans.
Microsoft does the best viral marketing for Linux.
ambient: we will do things without asking
pervasive: we want to be everywhere in your life
multi-modal: and by everywhere we mean FUCKING EVERYWHERE
Perfect translation
The thought of relying on Microsoft services for something sends shivers down my spine.
Then I remember there are adults in this world using Outlook to keep their agendas, paying for MSN news, people BOUGHT MEDIA AND SOFTWARE from the built in stores Microsoft created and abandoned. I can’t imagine it.
The thought of relying on Microsoft services for something sends shivers down my spine.
government (including most chillingly, international governments) and hospitals pretty much all use microsoft tools - outlook, sharepoint, etc - to run huge parts of their organisations
that’s the truly scary part
It all means: You’ll eat AI slop and you’ll be fucking pleased about it.
Just rename it to Copilot 12 or something, it’s way too confusing having a product not branded as copilot.
Copilot 365 12 for Home and Family, Copilot Edition.
Series C
M365 Enterprise Edition
you guys are taking me out 😭💀
Copilot One:Series AI 360 Experience
ActiveCoPilot XP 2025 Professional Edition
In the interview, Davuluri is asked how AI is going to change the way we interact with computers. Here’s what he had to say on the matter:
“I think we will see computing become more ambient, more pervasive, continue to span form factors, and certainly become more multi-modal in the arc of time … I think experience diversity is the next space where we will continue to see voice becoming more important. Fundamentally, the concept that your computer can actually look at your screen and is context aware is going to become an important modality for us going forward.”
Watch out Satya Nadella, this guy’s coming for your job as Head of Corporate Bullshit.
This guy’s got to know pervasive would come off bad. Ambient bad too
Fundamentally, the concept that your computer can actually look at your screen and is context aware is going to become an important modality for us going forward."
Ah, so now having my computer spy on me is a feature, gotcha
