I've spent half a day yesterday to set up a VM running Debian on my office's Win PC. Since I'm tied to Windows because of my proprietary CAD, my plan is to limit my interaction to a minimum and instead do everything else in the Linux-VM. With shared drives and drag'n'drop I hope it will work out. It comes in also very handy that I started years ago to strictly choose open source software that's available for both platforms - so no learning curve.
Since MS won't listen - we all need to laudly complain about the lack of linux support towards our software providers. And yes, maybe too naïve, it will change something in the long run.
I've gone full linux both at home and at work. Thankfully, most of the tools we use are cross platform / FOSS. But in the odd case, I use KVM (the linux equivalent to Hyper-V) to spin up a windows VM
It has it's issues (like graphics card pass-through), but it works pretty well
Given how Linux support for steam has been going I've just started migrating everything and just popping in to windows when I have something that doesn't work.
I think what's interesting about this take, is when they use AI to generate things like new taxes, tax codes and tax laws. The levels of loopery will be insane.
It's probably going to use some stupid-ass system to place them in the next available spot on the HDD and you actually won't be able to find them without the AI.
Can you though? Explorer.exe on windows 11 is already a steaming pile. Why the fuck can't I disable grouping? If I need to find a specific kind of files in my download directory, it's way easier for me to sort by size. What isn't easy is that now it's grouped by fucking date as well. IDK when I grabbed the last windows iso on my.visualstudio.com, I just know that I have <10 files that are >3GB in my download directory. But noooo now after sorting by size I've got to either search though 4 or 5 groups or turn grouping off.
The IT dept at work has decided that we all will run windows 11, and it's locked down tighter than I've experienced in a long time. Guess who has a VM called "Windows 10 Daily driver" running. Fuck windows 11 and the iso it rode in on.
I'm quite aware it is. I usually use the detailed view, so sorting is easy. But going into the menu to turn off grouping only works once for me. If I go into the settings for explorer and chose the "make the current setup default" button (or whatever it is called, I can't recall right now), then every single other aspect than grouping are preserved. Are you telling me that my issues aren't caused by windows 11 being a needy little b*tch?
