Windows 11’s Notepad continues to get Copilot-powered AI features – a handy addition to a tool whose main appeal has always been simplicity and minimalism. Not all users are happy, however, with some saying AI features are overkill.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

You can leave at any time. You don't have to be in an abusive relationship with your operating system.
Microsoft seem to have very tight grip on the corporate world. It's getting better, but still.
I left a company once because they started switching to Microsoft infrastructure and that just got miserable. But I'm a privileged in that regard, a lot of people can't do that
Yeah, but how will I pirate games on Linux?
I mostly download ROMs for old Nintendo and Sony consoles, if for some reason I get a hankering for a modern title I'll purchase it on my steam account which I run on my Ubuntu laptop.
If this is sarcasm, you might want to tag it as such, before half the Linux community shows up to give pointers.
I, myself, have never pirated anything, obviously.
But I heard from a friend that it can be pretty great, even on Linux.
Cool, I will tell my friend that he should try it.
It's easier
Oh yeah, it's really not hard. Or so I have heard. From a friend.
Haven't seen a single Linux game to download from torrents. All are for windows. Care to ask your friend how/where he pirates AAA games on Linux?
Proton. You run the Windows version sometimes it runs better than it does on Windows
Look up Heroic or Lutris, both run Windows games in Linux
I had a dream where somebody pirated windows games on Linux and just played them through wine/proton. Just like... you know, legally purchased copies.
Of course, as an upstanding citizen I haven't tried this in real life.
So you still need to run Windows, but now with extra performance overhead
You seem to really want this to not work, but I suggest actually looking into how far gaming on Linux has come. Proton is actual magic.
Wine is not an emulator. It *translates* windows code to linux at runtime. Bazzite wouldn't beat windows at so many benchmarks if it was a virtual machine.
Also I wouldn't know but if you are looking for where to potentially find native linux binaries for games that support it, you should probably go ask that question on totally unrelated counter strike forums
Neither Wine or Proton require running Windows. They're compatibility layers which allow Linux to operate software intended for Windows.
You may be thinking about when someone emulates a full virtual Windows machine within Linux, which is more resource-intensive. The overhead and performance impact of a compatibility layer like Wine or Proton is generally negligible compared to running such a VM.
Running most Windows games on Linux is easy nowadays, regardless of how you acquired them.
Idk if you got it from the source directly inatead of websites that just reupload with malware, you would see linux versions BEFORE windows.
Every windows site and maybe zamunda? I think that's what he meant?
More efficiently without all the bloatware?
