Microsoft is losing Builders fast. They’re switching to MacOS and Linux. The biggest pull keeping people on Windows, outside of shear inertia, is content creation and gaming. However, even these are falling to Linux.
Without Builders, you don’t have software, and without software, you don’t have users. This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.
Linux mint is perfect for my needs, and its pretty cool once you get used to doing stuff in terminal, although its still very user friendly for most. Microslop can suck my nuts.
Microsoft needs to die.
I remember saying that in the early 2000s…
10 years ago I would have said maybe. Now? Practicly everything that you run on Windows will run, in some form or another, on Linux. Even the hard to crack gaming is now becoming a non issue. There really is no point in Windows any longer.
I had no idea how easy gaming had got since my last attempt with Linux. That was until the most recent Microsoft bugs erased all my files… I was so enraged I didn’t even try to recover them, I just installed linux mint. Found out I could indeed play the couple games I’ve been holding on to windows for. Haven’t booted windows since.
Microsoft is now offering Azure Linux.
well, linus won. He said when they’d write software for linux, he won. I guess he quadruple won, since microslop has their own distro
You need to abandon windows. You know their goals. You know they can’t be trusted. Stop giving them chances to get it right and fuck you.
Why is .NET bad now?
I wonder if they see the constant, gigantic updates to the framework distributable and think that’s a bad thing somehow.
and developers
Windows developers largely use Windows Server or Enterprise, neither of which have telemetry, spying, ads, or AI, depending on group policy.
I’m a little confused by the inclusion of .NET. Most Windows developers actively use that.
A lot of games actually require it too
the fact that you list .net shows you dont have the knowledge to make this claim
It’s easier to just use Linux.
We have that. Its called Arch. And I’ve done .net development on it.
You probably mean NetCore which is not equal to .NET framework.
I dunno bro, it was a .Net project with EF core stuff in it. .Net aint my primary wheelhouse.
Appears to be, that I am wrong too, they renamed the things a couple of times. Dot-NetCore is now DotNet and .NET Framework is the win lib that existed before NetCore and still does

Whenever I see this, I’m curious as to why
Wow, it still notifies me. This, like I imagine most of life’s mysteries, has a very mundane explanation. I had just woken up, and in the haze I thought I was in a Linux gaming sub and made a very gaming centric comment. I realized the focus was very obviously not on gaming only after I posted.
I hope you can sleep more soundly tonight knowing I’m ok <3
Yeah that’s cool, fair enough. Be well!
For what its worth, gaming on linux is dope. Never ever going back.
.Net
No .NET 😂 what’s still running after that?
With many critical apps still running on Windows only, Windows needs to get worse!
To push those software companies over to embrace Linux finally. Then the users can follow.What is wrong with .NET, it’s very useful when running applications which require it which of course is basically every application in a corporate environment.
But yeah all the other things are fine.
I’m fairly certain this post is specifically excluding corporate environments
I also don’t quite understand the dislike of dotnet, though. I mean I don’t like it either, but idk why
.net (core) is a mature framework and collection of great languages that work really well, perform really well, and is truly cross platform and open source. It’s the best thing Microsoft offers.
I completely agree. My dislike is based purely in emotion
Windows losing noticeable numbers of users is a huge net gain for society. Hopefully it continues, regardless of Microslop’s actions.
.NET is just a runtime, not problematic at all, and definitely doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with ads, spyware, and AI.
It’s probably Microsofts best product
Probably Microsoft’s best stupidest name too, except maybe renaming the remote desktop app to “Windows App”.
I hate that rename so much, it makes it impossible to search anything about it. Another fun fact is the process name for “Windows App” is Windows365.exe 🤦
But it’s so sloooowwww
no its not.
Compares to what? Electron apps or ffmpeg level of assembler?
Native?!
Native what? AoT compiled dotnet code? Bad C++ code?
I suppose bad C++ code if those are the only options?
Of course not. But saying an entire framework is bad is silly. That is my entire point. Thanks for agreeing with me.
Maybe have a look at https://michaelscodingspot.com/csharp-performance-vs-c/
It’s only slow if you’re running a slow computer. Anyway it’s way faster than all your electron apps which each insist on taking up four for gigabytes of RAM
We should also get rid of the Windows C++ Redistributable packages as well!
Might as well get rid of Windows after that
Yep. Plenty of games depends on it too.
