![]() I rather set that myself, re-configuring all of that after the fact feels like it will break something, and it is not worth it. So what happened next is I had to literally login, and then when I was finally on Windows, I wanted to add a new account because I don't like that Windows doesn't let me set the *username* local to the OS, if you're going to make me login, please let me set the username, I don't want my Windows path to be C:/Users/gianc/Documents or whatever. I don't like all my personal shit automagically being uploaded to Microsoft's cloud, especially when they default to on, and companies will reset settings on a whim. ![]() I couldn't install Windows 11 offline in order to avoid making a Microsoft account. This is where the fun begins, and I've posted it before on HN. Somehow a 2 thousand (or whatever) computer comes with Windows Home instead of Pro (wtf Microsoft, you should really make sure OEMs are giving out Pro versions for gaming systems). I bought a gaming computer a year ago, it was fully pre-built. I was able to suck it up from 8 till 10, but 11 is starting to piss me off. I guess my next computer I'll stick with Windows for a bit to see if things are more sane now. When I see a survey like this saying that 72% of users still use Windows I'm shocked to my core. Lots of people use MacOS, many people use Linux, and the others use ChromeOS. So I completely unplugged from Windows switched to Chromebooks for casual stuff and recommended them to my family members, and a variety of Linux distributions for more serious stuff.īut I really know almost nobody who uses Windows this is the bubble I'm in. Trying to help family members who had trouble with their computers became a horrifying slog. ![]() It was just such a heap of garbage that I couldn't do it any more. It made you sign in with a Microsoft account for reasons never explained. Some buttons were just plain text, others were buttons, others were just frames with text. I've tried but always hated MacOS.īut Windows 8 completely broke me - this was just an unusable OS, plastered with ads and shortcuts that didn't work and a wildly inconsistent UI big tiles one second, tiny icons the next, some things you had to double-click that used to be a single click, some things you still had to double-click. I worked at Microsoft for years and continued to run Windows for some time afterwards, sometimes dual booting with Linux.
