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.

Dont say it... dont say it.... dont saaaayyyy iiiiitt!!!

Have you considered Linux Mint?

Damn... sorry.. was I the first to suggest it this time?

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 55 points 6 months ago

You were, but it appears OP is running Windows in a VM on Linux.

[-] mypasswordis1234@lemmy.world 43 points 6 months ago

I already use Fedora Linux, and this Windows is in a virtual machine because sometimes my school requires me to use software that simply doesn't run on Linux

[-] Mereo@lemmy.ca 26 points 6 months ago

That's where Windows belongs now, in a VM.

"what is my purpose?"

"you stay in a vm until i need to update my mouse firmware"

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 months ago

In a VM, in a box, at the bottom of the sea.

I bought a cheap laptop for school just to run their windows anti cheat crap. Do you have to run something similar?

[-] mypasswordis1234@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Fortunately, no. My school expects me to use XAMPP (a LAMP stack but without "L" cuz it's on Windows) and Microsoft Office applications like Word, Access, and Excel.

While in the case of LAMP, I can install the individual services (Apache, PHP, MySQL) myself from command line, Microsoft Office applications won't work like that.

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

Use Libreoffice where you can and just open it up in Word to verify

[-] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I guess I should count myself lucky everything is expected in be turned in as a PDF and Google docs is used for everything else. The anticheat recognizes it's running on a VM and throws and error.

[-] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

You're right though. I recently installed it and it is so much more user friendly and does everything I need it to.
