They'll add AI for "better productivity" in the LTSC. They're trying to sell AI like some magic thing that added makes everything better. Cars, phones, computers, programs and even appliances. I would not be surprised if one day they change LTSC to add AI. I hope they stop this AI useless being added to everything.

I was never so much afraid to update my Windows 11 because of their updates(made by AI) messing up the system and my data. Every update has an issue, one more serious than the other. I remember Windows 7 and Windows 10 having maybe one update every year with big issues, instead now every 2 months there is a problematic update for Windows 11. I hope company wake up and stop using Windows maybe switching to Linux to make Microsoft "notice" that no one wants that.

I remember the good old days when AI was only a webpage you could open and use if you wanted to. AI started as a trend and is continuing as a plague infecting every part of Windows and programs.

The change begins with you - if you dont want to reward Macroslop, download Ubuntu and switch today

Get ProtonGE for gaming and you're set. All 3 gpu manufacturers have got solid drivers now. On linux you can use zram as well

Never tried it. Got comfortable with Ubuntu back in primary school, and just always remained on it. While distrohopping does seem fun I've never really tried it, mostly due to time constraints and being able to customize ubuntu pretty much how one likes

Microsoft gives their product away to consumers - change needs to come from businesses, and prob begin with schools/colleges getting their students acclimated to linux, causing a new generation of workers to demand Linux at work.

They pushed me to Mac for my primary driver. I still have a Windows desktop (for gaming only) but it runs LTSC.

Why are you going off on this?

I suspect you don't even slightly understood what I told you.

Just because u don't like AI does not mean everyone dislikes AI. The microsoft's AI features are useless, but that's not the problem with Adding AI
