Government bail outs. 🥲

And Librewolf

Not replace, but it’s an official alternative from M$.

I get the upset over the battery, but it seems everyone missed this:

No charging: The battery lasts for up to years of average use. After the end of its life, send your ring back to us for recycling.

I’d hope they offer a discount on a new one if you send in your old.

In case this helps, for me when I use it on Android TV with said TV’s remote, the arrow buttons on the direction pad for anything require pressing play/OK button after. But if I use the fast forward buttons, it does seek and then just keeps playing.

See my comment above yours, its really such a refreshing Windows experience, it feels like the good old days.

I used to be an xlite fan, but have since discovered 11 IoT Enterprise LSTC. massgrave.dev

Same idea of bullshit free, but more stable and straight from M$, themselves. Defender and Edge ONLY.

Then install StartAllBack on top of that. Everything feels sane, and snappy and back to sanity.

If you reformat, look into 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. massgrave.dev

It’s because it has mmo-like mechanics. They said it’s because they don’t want someone to cheat and ruin things like global orders to free a planet. Ex: someone can cheat and clear missions wayyy faster and overly contribute to if a planet tbat the entire community is working towards liberating from the filthy Terminids.

Which is where StartAllBack comes into play. Its not just one sluggish mess. It feels normal lol.

For real, lmao.

Some anecdotal evidence, but when I boot into my W11 install for certain online games, I have none of these issues mentioned. My 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC + StartAllBack setup- knocks on wood- continues to be bullet proof. For anyone who still needs Windows, I highly recommend it.

Not entirely dead yet, there’s an animated series that releases the 14th of this month.

Slop-Tok

You can install the Store and Xbox app, and use Gamepass. I have a friend that does this, after I showed them how.

I’m in the same boat waiting for Linux to be a bit more “feature complete,” for me to daily.

In the mean time, check out W11 Enterprise IoT LTSC. It’s the secret menu item equivalent W11 they don’t wanna sell to consumers. It feels like a fresh W7 install with no AI, no bloat, no bullshit, and can even disable all telemetry. Only comes with Edge and Defender.

massgrave.dev has the iso’s and permanent activators.

Edit: Adding that you can install the App Store and Xbox App to make use of Game Pass.

Agreed, most comments are miserable, toxic, old man yells at cloud, energy. More and more, so.

Tidal is cheaper and better quality, Deezer is good, too.

Or because they pay artist way less than any one else, while having lower quality audio.

Malicious compliance and use it solely for internal emails.
