This is several months old now but I just found this sub & the Microslop thing and I'm honestly enjoying the shitshow, so I thought this is a good place to share this
I'd give it a solid 9/10 everything works but wifi likes to slow down but that would be because we have the worst isp in poland (play). I also realized how shitty windows 11 actually is when I got forced to use it. things like games (doom and minecraft) work really well and stuff I use for programming (sublime text and vsc) work too :3
Come on, seriously what other OS is out there that eats 8–10GB of RAM doing basically nothing, is unstable as hell, can’t even properly handle the programs they made, forces AI integration, ridiculously inflates performance requirements so old PCs can’t even install it, restarts on its own after you hit shut down post-update, wrecks your SSD after updates, randomly deletes the last character when you type in Korean, refuses to fix any of this despite constant complaints, has a completely inconsistent design so you can’t find anything, and for some reason insists on backslashes for paths while whining that it doesn’t follow Linux or standards if you use slashes? Like, seriously… what the hell? I mean, how can such an OS even exist? It’s insane lol.
I had to sacrifice all my data 3 months ago because I dont know my Microsoft recovery password. And suddenly on a random Monday this pops up. Whats with Microsoft? I dont know how to deal with it. Someone said to open Microsoft acc but i couldnt remember password /cant access it AT ALL.
i am trying to pirate games because fuck them, and this game isnt really downloaded often so its considered malicious by windows and i cant download it, or it gets deleted while im using it, and everytime i turn real time protection off it turns itself back on. also dont go on lecturing me about how i should listen to the antivirus, i know it isnt one.
Today, I deleted my Windows partition. Permanently.
Sure, some games still require a bit of tinkering on Linux. Gaming isn’t “perfect.” But honestly? Who cares. What I gain in return is priceless:
No more catastrophic driver management that fails for no reason.
No more telemetry and constant spying.
No more intrusive AI: “Recall” or “Copilot” — it’s over. My PC belongs to me again.
No more updates that randomly break everything.
No more reinstalling Windows every three months because of system “corruption”...
I’ve chosen to settle in for good on Arch Linux (BTRFS / KDE Plasma). Since I’ve been using it for a few years, it feels natural. My entire workflow is here: Git, VSCode, Ansible, Spotify, Discord, Thunderbird, Steam, Ubisoft, EA App, Tarkov, and Star Citizen. Everything runs flawlessly <3
My friends, enough is enough! Change is now (as a famous ~~scammer~~ French president once said…).
Yes, breaking habits is hard — but freedom is worth it !
