So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen... - eviltoast

… as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this “incredible” product, and then says in the same breath: “Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?”

Really!? 😠

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use…

    We’re close. We just need a couple of vendors to step up and take some responsibility.

    Steam already picked up all the hard stuff.

    Adobe products, Outlook, and of all fucking things Roblox.

    I probably also really wouldn’t hurt if somebody could manage to make Nvidia background removal working OBS Linux.

      Yeah the Roblox thing is hard to swallow, it used to work better on Linux than on any other platform for me. Everything else there’s alternatives - my local PC shop sells machines at a significant discount “without windows installed”, maybe if more did that the market would take care of things and the software vendors would have to support Linux.

      Roblox runs great on Linux, they just explicitly blocked it right?

      Outlook is turning to shit with the new update, Microsoft is nerfing it hard that it is borderline unusable, it is basically just the web app.
