Windows 11 26H2 Preview Brings Copilot to Taskbar and File Explorer
windowsforum.com
external-link
Microsoft has pushed the first public preview of what it’s calling the Windows 11 26H2 era into the Dev Channel — but don’t expect a single megarelease; what landed is a platform/enablement milestone with deeper Copilot integrations, a handful of practical fixes, and meaningful implications for...

      Switching has been really interesting for me. Before I moved I’d think “Man I don’t want to do all the troubleshooting and learning that is going to come with it”

      But what happened is it reminded me that I enjoy learning and troubleshooting. I think the difference is the troubleshooting I have to do in Windows is typically trying to unfuck some bullshit Microsoft is doing that I don’t like. I’m usually mad on principle, and when I do unfuck whatever it is I resent that I had to do it in the first place.

      In Linux it’s “I wonder if I can do this? I can! But does that mean? It does!” It has completely reinvigorated my love for computers.

      Also, for whatever reason when I thought about switching I only ever thought about the troubleshooting. In my head it was like I would be switching to an OS that only exists to be worked on. I forgot that like once you set it up the first time you’re kinda done and it’s just like any other computer. You can futz and customize endlessly if you want to, or you can just stop.

      I’m never going back

    I dunno who said it or in what context but I heard recently “If you cannot decide what your computer does and does not do, you do not own your computer.” and I’ve been thinking about that a lot.

    Sounds like something Torvalds would say but I can’t remember

      Sounds more Stallman than Torvalds to me.

      Torvalds isn’t ideological in that way, it doesn’t seem like something he would say. He’s usually on about how open source (the guy embraced the corporate-friendly rebranding) is/was instrumental in the success of the Linux project and that he personally likes working that way, i.e. from home, over email, in his own time.
