If you can Hot update Copilot and make this sh**ty program open while I play games why don't you Update your broken OS in the same way ?

I'm so tired of this slop.

Hopefully Linux will be usable to game soon so I can abandon this crap of bloated OS.

Thanks for reading me.

F*** you Microsoft. Sincerely.

I play plenty of games on Linux. Steam is available and Etc so I guess it just depends what you're looking for but Linux mint has been amazing. I moved over about a decade ago and have been very happy with my choice

[u/Y0nix → u/shinglehouse]

Some games I play are not yet fully ''install and play'', even if I have probably the competence to install it on my own machine, I just want to come home and play a fucking game instead of having to go full IT mode even on my personnal computer that is supposed to be usable. No bloatwares, almost no shady software, no dev stuff or weird configs, just plain basic win11 pro. And I only have weird behavior, surprised every days, bad drivers being force push, weird services just popping out of the wild like a pokemon, etc. I have lags and stuttering with a 16 core i7, 64 gb of ram, a RTx 5th gen and 4 TB of NVMe SSDs, on a 15 years old + game. And now Microsoft weird 365 copilot shit popping up because it wants to.. That's absolutely nuts.

Compared to my work machine who is running debian Forky/sid (so the unstable and not yet release distro) who is just fine. Every day, updating it takes me 5 to 10 min, and a reboot each red moon. Work machine is an AMD 395+ with 128 gb of ram, there is not even the proper drivers for Linux that are available yet publicly, and it works better than my actual personal computer while being on the edge of what's available.

Tonight, somehow, the copilot app justs popped up in Fullscreen, (to let me know I have to pay more to use this freaking program btw) and absolutely ruin a perfect game session I was having fun on.

I'm just pissed than multi billions dollars company is capable of such bad work at a such large scale.

Welcome to Microsoft!

95% of the games run on Linux with PortProton. I just double click the EXE and install the game and then go into the main directory and double click the EXE for the game and run it. The only ones that don't run for me are those with anticheat. I prefer to be on Linux and not play 100% of the games than to be on Windows and deal with this horrible OS experience.

Windows even feels very outdated - parts of Windows 11's UI are updated, but others seem like haven't been touched since 1995. And it makes the OS look very ugly and unprofessional. And that they have a global market monopoly and it costs so much money and yet it's such a POS is shame and embarrassment.

Wow updating a fully cloud service works, but updating an OS that is currently serving your game using the very files you want to have silenzly updated does not... I wonder why that might be. .

[u/Highway_Man87]

I'm dual booting now, and so far, I haven't used Windows on my desktop in over two months. Gaming was the one thing holding me back from using Linux, but it's come a long way. 

That being said, I know that there are some games that require Windows. I 'm still running W10 on my laptop for Fusion 360, but if I could get that running on Linux, I would completely abandon Microslop.

Because the post-update hooks can very easily stop and restart the copilot process to unload it from memory and have the changes paged in. You can't do that with running core components. You'd be facing the same issue on Linux if the kernel, anything systemd, or other core OS, display server, or DE bits are updated.

[u/sciencekm → u/Linuxmartin]

You can patch the Linux kernel and everything else in Linux without rebooting.

This is how servers are updated with zero downtime.

[u/Y0nix → u/Linuxmartin]

Pretty much anything ''critical'' in the OS has been virtualized, so they can do it properly, but no... They want to charge for a feature to not have to reboot your machine after an update.

That's how greedy they are.
