wow… OS Subcription-Based with AI?
you’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy
I’m glad I already moved to Linux for 2 years
For all the people on here quick to mock others for being gullible enough to fall for AI-generated slop, this is embarrassing.
I’m genuinely looking forward to it. It’s going to be hilarious.
Not doing a subscription based OS.
Just throwing that out there.
Fun thing:
My laptop (from 2020) somehow skipped last year’s update and only recently decided to update to the most recent Windows 11 release. And my first thought was “oh shit, is it going to install that Recall nonsense?” …good news: not only is Recall not installed by default but the laptop is officially too shitty to run Recall. (…it’s perfectly adequate for running everything else though!)
Which got me thinking:
Remember how mad everyone was when Windows 11 came out, requiring TPM 2.0, and how people were asked to buy new hardware?
Gee golly gosh, I hope Microsoft isn’t seriously going to say “yeah, you’re going to need to buy a new computer - so you can utilise all these awesome new AI features, you see.” Because people just love buying new hardware. Again. In this economy.
Moved everything to Linux last year, so far I have no reason to consider going back. Unfortunately I’ll still likely end up using this slop at work.
God fucking dammit. I just know I’ll have to use that shit at work too.
I know the Epstein files revealed that all the last Windows versions have been named after Microsoft leaderships’ preferred rape victim ages but I still don’t think I’m ready to switch to Linux.
Hahahahaha, get fucked Microslop
Finally the year of linux desktop!
Absofuckinglutely not.
And I say this as a dedicated Windows user who spent a year on Ubuntu Linux a decade ago and hated it. Windows does this, and sign me up for penguin lessons.
I’m skeptical about this seeing as there are also articles pointing out that this is fake news.
Wtf is a “fully-modular” OS
“Fully modular” as 'It can run on a toaster" or as “For access to the file manager, subscribe to premium”?
Fully modular as in it runs in a VM in the cloud that you pay them for access to
I’ll go against the grain and say I like this. Maybe the AI, data collection, and enshittification will be something you have to subscribe to but the base bare bones OS will be free… /s
