Microsoft launched a new build to the Windows 11 Insider Dev channel on Friday and with it comes a Game Pass ad in Settings.

Microsoft’s announcement: “We are introducing a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings homepage. The Game Pass recommendation card on Settings Homepage will be shown to you if you actively play games on your PC. As a reminder – the Settings homepage will be shown only on the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 and if you’re signed into Windows with your Microsoft account.”

      That’s fair, just tired of explaining shit to uninformed windows fanboys that don’t understand what they’re talking about.

      Want low latency audio production? There’s a distro with a low latency kernel for that.

      Need a hyper focused gaming distro? Guess what, there’s a distro for that.

      You want something so easy to use that even your tech illiterate grandparents can’t fuck their PC with something as stupid as updates? Well what do you know, there’s a distro for that as well with immutable OS’s that look and feel like Windows.

      Windows fanboys spew bullshit like ease of use and not breaking their shit when they click buttons, but the reality is Linux is no different, it can be as easy or as difficult to use and break as you want.

      The sad bullshit fact is if you use Windows, your PC is Microsoft’s and not yours, if you use Linux your PC is yours to control, and nothing hits that home like bullshit advertisements on your start menus and settings app.
