I tried this out and it’s a good launcher once configured, but it’s time to look for a new one now. Msft is working hard to lose long time customers.

Both are bloated, but I’ll take flatpaks, as snaps have given me a lot of problems on multiple machines. I now just remove it entirely.

Annoy and Stay Resident…like a lot of apps that can’t be removed, where data can’t be deleted, and the the app only disabled.

Dual boot is the gateway I stepped through many years ago. It’s been months now since I chose team MS. I do lot of dev, gaming, and media work, and it’s all faster on the linux side. With the recent forced data mining “feature” update, I really doubt I’ll keep it around for my next upgrade.
So I’m just offering dual boot may be a good scenario. And also, popping in another drive is better than messing with your windows drive.

Yes, the confusion that results when things don’t work because of isolation.

Same as you, in IT forever, …I switched, and I’m never going back. It’s fast, and it’s brought the joy back for me. Nvidia needs to do better, but that was the only difficulty I had.

Given 103 million viewers last year, I wouldn’t call this a “great opportunity” to win either…unless you are running the sweepstakes, then it’s creating a mailing list goldmine.

Ymmv but since I dabble a bit with audio, I went with Ubuntu Studio. It has a real time kernel, and has been fantastic for gaming.

I remember Dell had an option back in 2013 on the XPS laptops…

Same here on a lower end Samsung, it’s fine. IMHO I also think if people flock to apps for just a UI, it can take away some of the motivation to improve a site.

FYI…It looks like they are doing the “explore your discovery queue and earn a card” thing, but at least for me the new PC client doesn’t let you know you have a new item in your inventory.
