Using React in core parts of the Windows Shell, Microsof's inability to design and release an application using non-web technologies, and the sluggishness and lagginess and bloat of Windows in general has finally pushed me to dual boot Fedora on a separate drive.

It is very nice having an Operating system that respects the Hardware I own and makes efficient use of it. My experience has been very good so far. Every device in my custom built desktop PC worked immediately. The only driver I had to build and install was for my XBOX Wireless dongle.

Gaming has been really damn good. I installed Steam and my games just worked. No fiddling around with configs or anything. Even installing a custom Proton version to try it out is very simple.

I've been on Fedora now for nearly a month and only boot into Windows for work. Eventually, I might get rid of Windows entirely. It'll take a massive U-turn from Microsoft on the philosophy for Windows for me to change my opinion now.

The start menu search is turning blank and shows a white screen whenever I search anything. Similar to how react apps break. It's been like this for 6 momths, across two laptops, fresh install of 25h2.

I for one am enjoying my last few months of Windows 10, stable, responsive, no surprise updates at last.

    Windows 10 is still supported until 2032 if you use LTSC

      Even without MS' support it'll still work fine.

      In fact, it's arguably better that way.

      The old saying about known unknowns vs. unknown unknowns comes to mind.

I was hit by this. Could RDP into machines using the regular client, but could not access Dev Boxes via Windows App. Getting real sick of the low quality AI slop.

Is it only cloud storage files? I've noticed that in 2026 my windows 11 machine is slower than ever before, by a lot- barely able to render web pages.

    The Indian outsourcing long predated Nadella. Now it's outsourcing to AI.

    Source? This sounds like a racist take even if there would be a modicum of truth to it.

    Microsoft was on a downward trajectory long before Satya Nadella's tenure.

    Nah, I wouldn't call it outsourcing. They have AI usage KPIs. [1]
