Lenovo
TIl about an interesting OS option by Lenovo, on their notebook computers. Logical yet interesting and expected

You get an Open Source OS by default from Lenovo. No more win64 as default

If you want closed source you have to ask for it and pay the hefty premium that microSoft's microslop demands, for their LLM infected, malware like OS. Lenovo wants to sell it's notebooks for the best price possible if you want an OS, and microsoft does not meet those demands anymore (for a while)

Loss per unit USD47 with win64
Profit extra per unit USD89 with Open Source Linux OS. The decision is logical

Classic Windows apps like Paint and Notepad are also getting LLM (Generative AI) support. There is no reason whatsoever that Notepad should do more than text editing. Microsoft has gone crazy with these tools. Of course, as part of these tools, your text in Notepad is sent to Microsoft under the name of Generative AI, which then sells it to the highest bidder. https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2024/11/06/new-ai-experiences-for-paint-and-notepad-begin-rolling-out-to-windows-insiders/ Stick with FLOSS tools and OS and avoid this madness. Keep your data safe.
