    Seriously you can’t have windows without having teams now?

    I have a feeling when I finish rebuilding my gaming PC I’m not going to be a fan of using windows again…

        My steam deck has been a god send! I am definitely looking forward to using Linux or trying it when I get to rebuilding my PC.

        My biggest hope is that by the time I rebuild anti cheat for games like destiny 2 will work…

      I have been using windows exclusively for 20 years now but just made the switch to Linux (EndeavourOS - an arch distro) 1 week ago and I couldn’t be happier!

      99% of all applications that I use work just as well (including games) and for the very very few that won’t work (like Valorant) I am using a dual boot setup. The reason that I made the switch was that I got anxious with W10 EOL approaching since I would rather stop using windows altogether than using W11.

        You will be really thankful for learning Linux in the future, the way big tech is going now.

      When can I get an iPhone without iMessage being preinstalled? Microsoft is, if anything, late to the party on this kind of anti-user BS.

        Or any of the i shit on there. And can you still not even change the default app for some things?

          Last I checked, opening links in iOS with alternate browsers is very app-specific and requires a hack using a different protocol. E.g. Chrome registers itself as a handler for the “httpChrome” protocol and the app needs to do Open("httpChrome://lemmy.ml"). It’s far worse than anything Microsoft did with IE back when they got sued.

        …do you not know about the IE lawsuits?

        iPhone without iMessage being preinstalled?

        Someone wants a choice, yet chooses platform that does not provide a choice? Wondering if there is any other platform that allows you to customize your phone. Hmmm. 🤔🤔🤔

          Hooooooold on, let me be crystal clear: I’m never buying an iPhone.

          The point was that if the EU is going to go on an anti-bundling campaign, there’s a long line ahead of MS Teams of more egregious behavior.

      I personally do a ton of game streaming to my Steam Deck which is my main driver for using Windows as it works better with NVIDIA Shield + Moonlight, but I highly recommend you give Pop!OS a try. I’m very pro-linux, but for the longest time it just wasn’t there for gaming and I didn’t recommend it. With Valve going full steam ahead for the Steam Deck, Proton has gotten so good that for 95% of games things just work out of the box without any issue. Wine even has support for Easy Anti Cheat now and more features are coming every week.
