In my view, this is unacceptable...

They changed my background (previously there was a default blue window), placed an icon in the bottom corner of the screen that read "Learn more about this photo", and re-added the search bar that I had previously removed.

Fortunately, I don't have to deal with this on a daily basis.

Oh, didn't you know? It's not really your PC any longer.

[-] mypasswordis1234@lemmy.world 118 points 6 months ago

Fortunately, it's actually mine, cuz I use Fedora with Gnome, which doesn't do these magic tricks 😁

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 37 points 6 months ago

Tricks are something Microsoft does for money.

Coo-coo-ka-cha!

Owning your computer is an ILLUSION

[-] valkyre09@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago

The PC might be yours, but that virtual machine is Microsoft’s little bitch

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago

I actually enjoy playing with Windows and Active Directory. I think it is ahead in terms of management and needing hacky workarounds

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

there isn't active directory for linux?, actually what active directory do diferently?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 months ago

You absolutely can join Linux machines to AD. You just don't have the same power that group policy gives you.

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

what group policy gives that unix filesystem permissions don't?, i really don't know, and i don't have a windows machine to test :b

[-] Hexarei@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago

Group policy lets you basically configure anything on any machine in the active directory domain; Installed programs, installed updates, basically any settings, schedules, services, automatically adding (and limiting by users if you want) network devices like printers and storage... It's pretty powerful, and does way more than just filesystem permissions.

[-] denshirenji@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I use FreeIPA and it works just fine for everything I would need AD for. Your point still stands. I just mean there are good enough alternatives for the Linux environment.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

There are definitely ways of configuring Linux systems. For many organizations Ansible or Puppet works completely fine. However, they require a significant amount of knowledge and aren't completely standardized. Group policy on Windows has been around for a long time and will be much easier to deploy, at least in the short term.

I used to use Fedora on my Asus gaming laptop, and loved it. More recently I've chosen to switch over to Manjaro, because I wanted something based on Arch that was more lightweight than Garuda. Gotta love that Linux life.

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Have you tried reborn or endeavor?

[-] GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

I tried EndeavourOS, but it didn't fully support my hardware like Manjaro does

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Interesting. I've only had one system that had hardware issue with any of them. And it was of course the finger print reader. Though I suppose it could be a WiFi issue.

[-] GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

The issue I had with my Asus ROG laptop was that EndeavourOS didn't support the volume buttons on the keyboard, along with some other keys. It was annoying enough that I went to Manjaro.

[-] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I guess Lemmy is mostly tech nerds like myself, but it's still cool as hell to see another Fedora user around :)

[-] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

Oh, let me tell you why your [sic] wrong for not using Arch and Ice Weasel! /s 😉

[-] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 2 points 6 months ago

your PC

are they going to backronym PC now that the P can't possibly stand for PERSONAL

[-] ultratiem@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

Just shuddered at a possible future where someone’s PC locked up with the following notice:

“We have locked your PC because you no longer have sufficient MS funds. One of our technicians will be by shortly to retrieve it. Sit tight, we are downloading its contents. Turning off the internet during this time will lead to strict legal action against you. Thank you for using Microsoft! Be sure to check out the new Surface Ultra and sign up to receive free rewards such a Panago and Ivey Cream!”
