    It is worth mentioning that changes you made to the IntegratedServicesRegionPolicySet.json file won’t have effect in stable versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft has to roll out this new capability to the stable branch in March 2024.

    It’s annoying that this is all the way at the bottom of the article. Good to know I can do all this, glad I didn’t attempt to change any of this now, because it’s pointless until these updates hit stable

    Microsoft and Apple pervasively install thier entire platform in their Operating Systems so you can’t just have what you need to have on one of their computers, you have the buy the whole platform.

    The Linux Eco-system is valued at $100 Billion, has nearly 40 million LoC, and is now Global Mega-Corp Consortium Funded. Link to Linux Foundation Financial Report 2022, “Read The Report”, Page 13.

    If we are headed for a global AI monolith or Bladerunner type future, it will surely run on Linux! It’s everywhere and Linux will never again be steered by the community.

    Instead use and help make successful any Indie Operating System like Haiku, Aero, or Minix3 instead of literally working as the tinniest cog ever for a Global Mega-Corp Consortium.

    You can also just use GhostBSD which is a superb Desktop BSD experience based off of stable FreeBSD that installs and works like Mint. Control your own kernel and everything about your BSD with NetBSD. Now is a great time to get into BSD with NetBSD 10 RC1. Learn it now and you’ll have an OS that when released does only what you want it to do.

    Finally there is the fastest BSD, Dragonfly. I made a Dragonfly BSD setup script that will turn a $250 2019 Thinkpad T495 into a lightning fast programmer workstation that does only what you want it to, and hardened. It never even makes one call out to the internet unless you typed the command in or allowed it beforehand.

    If you insist on using Linux, then use a distro with an independent kernel that let’s them know you would not like the Linux kernel which has been badly managed by the Dictator Linus, globally taken over.

      I dunno man, I recently put Mint onto my Lenovo and the refinement just isn’t there STILL. dual monitor management isn’t very good, even mouse acceleration doesn’t play well when you go from the touchpad to an external mouse. Sure, many things have improved, but the fit and finish just isn’t even where windows was a decade ago

        I have dual monitors with different scaling and refresh rates, both work perfectly. Even VRR works as expected. I’m using Manjaro KDE with Wayland, Intel CPU, AMD GPU.

        Linux Mint hasn’t finished their work on Wayland and thus, the things you are experiencing are unfortunately expected. So you might want to try with another distro with GNOME or KDE.

        When people suggested you Mint, they were wrong in ignoring your setup.

          That’s another issue with Linux: one thing works in distro X and another thing works in distro Y. OS should just work. Linux doesn’t.

            Linux works. It’s only a Kernel.

            Android is also a linux distro. To you, it might seem as another OS. So from that point of view, each distro would be a dIfferent OS. So you should judge each distro as such.

            So, what people told you Linux is, in fact that Kernel on top of a ton other software.

            You can’t expect all distros to be the same. Because their purposes are different.

                They mean a Linux based OS, and say Linux for short. They could also say GNU/Linux, but chose not to. I do it every single time, but its for convenience, but technically imprecise.

                When we are talking about distributions being different, that’s their whole purpose, since their only common denominator is the underlying kernel.

        Try Fedora with KDE.

        In my opinion it’s the best one for having the most ease-of-use hardware support out of the box, as they’re backed by IBM, which used to own Lenovo.

      I just installed Ubuntu (the more mainstream ofnlinux distros) to replace my windows OS. I was greeted by a cryptic error. After a quick search for some tecno bable, i had to start on safe mode and install the video drivers.

      Do you think a “regular user” would be able to do this?

    I’m honestly surprised that I’m going to say this, as I have not used this term and over a decade, but there’s a lot of FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) going on in the comments on this topic, trying to shape a certain narrative.
