funny thing, this was when terminal went down in just the same way notepad did!!
You need Microsoft store to access the terminal now?
Maybe try windows+r -> cmd, or right click the start menu -> terminal
If that doesn't work go install windows 10 or Linux or go buy a mac 😅
I mean, the Terminal is basically just a mixture of the classic Command Prompt and the new Power shell, just packaged as a Microsoft Store app. So you can just use Powershell instead for most cases.
Still, screw the Microsoft Store App environment. It makes updating programs just that much more difficult than it needs to be.
I was in a chatroom and joked about them adding “AI” to notepad. Someone in the room was like “wtf did they seriously?!” and I said “oh no, I don’t use Windows 11 but there’s no way lawl”
Someone else sent a screenshot of their fucking AI in notepad
They added AI to Paint, too.
What does it do there? Ai content aware fill like in photoshop?
Yes. Also, selecting an object in an image, or using a prompt to edit your drawing.
Oh eeeuw. That aint paint boys haha

Yeah, Microsoft does some wild shit. Nothing they do surprises me at this point. I still remember how when the WWW was starting to get really big, some MS engineers decided to turn their web browser into the Windows file manager.
You could open the file manager, enter a URL instead of a local path, and suddenly it's a web browser. I just thought it was a neat trick back then. It's only in retrospect that I realise how dumb it is.
Tbh, imo its a good user feature to have. Makes accessing the internet less big and less of a hurdle for people to learn to use the net. Something that welcome/needed then.
However, from a technical standpoint its utter hell to maintain, keep safe/secure and was at that point a nono haha
( i say at that point, because now webviews are bloody everywhere )

From “My PC” to “This PC”.
The only windows machine I currently use is my work machine.
It belongs to my employer so renaming "My PC" is accurate
WHAT !!?? You have a button to copy the error message, this feature is asked since Windows XP, they took their time.
Useless feature. Searching for any error will lead you to Microsoft's support forums, where a so-called MVP told someone with the same problem as you to run sfc /scannow then closed the thread as resolved.
that, or what's been happening more recently is it links to an article on the official Microsoft support page but it's been archived because they're moving to some new site, and there is no link to the new site's content that supercedes the dead link
It has always been possible to press CTRL+C when error dialog is active, that should copy the text of entire dialog including error message
Nani the fuck??
Why didn't it say so anywhere and why couldn't you select text in the dialog?
Because fuck you that's why (/s)

Windows Clock doesn't have analog mode any more. Nor does it show seconds. And sometimes it just doesn't show time because it needs to update some garbage, or the app needs to be updated, or...
Long story short, I had to make a clock of my own.

Fuckin' windows store apps... giant unpatchable buggy mess...
I still have record of my reaction when I learned Windows Media Player had paid DLC on Windows 10. I made a video about it.
I literally can not fucking wait for them to start charging microtransactions for items under the "accessories" menu, like games, or tools like the calculator and notepad. M$ has been the best advertiser for Linux this past decade, and they're only getting better at advertising it, I know that's coming at some point.

I feel gratuitously attacked.
I have my own server running in the cloud to get my wallpapers.
Ok I think I'm the problem lol

When did Right Click -> Set as Wallpaper -> Desktop involve writing code?
Yes, older versions of Linux may have had that setting buried in a config file somewhere, which required editing in a text editor. And that sort of UI was shit, is shit and will always be shit. But, if we're going to bring up old versions of an OS, let's talk about Windows Me.
That's the funny thing. To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on linux, you have to go back in time some few years.
To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on windows... you just need to update to the last version.

To change my lock screen background I still have to go into like /usr/sddm (or some such dir, I don't remember which specifically and it's not booted rn).
For some reason the setting in FedoraKDE for "lock screen background" will change the "lock screen background," but only after I've logged in and then re-locked, on boot it still showed the Fedora default. But I wanted it on boot, too, as it's a single user laptop anyway. To do that you have to place the file in iirc sddm's config dir.
At least with linux though I can design my own Plymouth theme and change my splash screen, try that on windows (idk if you can or not but I'm gonna assume no since I've never seen anyone do it.)

I googled the code and it's funnier.
First search result is xbox live instead of the microsoft link.
And then the correct link is just comments going "I have the problem too." The popular SOLUTION is to uninstall the alienware command center.
BUT before you that, error message box seems to not close? So you have to open up in task manager and terminate anything with "AWCC" in its name.
Then you can finally uninstall the alienware command center, through the windows settings...

I change my wallpaper pretty much exactly the same way I used to do it in Windows though (except KDE gives me more options for slideshows, etc)?
Notepad was the final straw that made me switch
If you build makethe Win11 ISO using Rufus instead of Microsoft's own Media Creation Tool, you have options to prevent this bullshit from happening.
I've been using Win11 with an offline account for years, and everything works as it should, even the MS Store. I never have to deal with Microsoft Account bullshit ever.
I mean, if you're going that far you might as well start considering just leaving Microsoft's bullshit OS entirely
