Twenty years or so ago I’d give MS credit for helping spawn a global PC hardware industry by standardizing an OS platform. I figured not just the Nvidias and Intels but the Dells, the EVGAs, and the MSIs all were a net positive and supported by there being a windows.
This was because I always compared them to Apple.
So much more now I understand the folly of being limited to comparing the bad choices and ignoring the good options.
Linux will simply take over, eventually. It takes constant effort to keep a less efficient, costly, closed source software on every single device. Linux can already run %99+ of windows applications through wine, proton, steam, winboat and many other compatability layers, and with user friendly OS like linuxmint and ZorinOS making it easier to transition, within the next decade I reckon Linux will have %20+ of the marketshare. Every blunder microsoft makes like: advancing AI, cutting support for windows 10 linux wins by doing none of that.
Fuck em . All my hommies hate MS bs
Screw multiple sclerosis
I hate that they defined a Copilot key on standard keyboards
Microsoft still riding the high of replacing the Super key with the Windows key back in windows 95, and trying to replicate it.
There was an “Office” key instead of ctrl right only a few years ago, which was a total fumble. Here’s hoping the same fate awaits the copilot key, that’ll make for fun stories in tech museums in a few years.
I fucking hate that. Got a new laptop at work and I can’t CTRL+ALT+DEL with one hand because there is copilot key where CONTROL key should be. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I would make them get me a different laptop
that’s a serious ergonomic issue to not have CTRL where it should be. I am not even joking. my RSI wouldn’t let me.
edit: oh wait it’s the right control. yeah that’s annoying but not as big a deal lol
C’mon they could have at least placed it in place of the menu key instead of rctrl… It’s like they want you to hit it by accident
Awful
Wait where does control go?
There’s only one, on the left side.
Just remap it back to control
Not all laptops have the ability to remap keys in the BIOS/UEFI
If it’s your own computer there’s always autohotkey. Or Linux. Preferably Linux.
It’s not a key, it sends left win + left shift + f23. Can’t be disentangled from those other modifier keys, true remapping is impossible unless you can get to the keyboard firmware. Even under linux.
I would be extremely surprised if you couldn’t find a workaround with AHK
Yes, but I don’t know if any software on windows can actually send ctrl+alt+del to windows given that the key combo is a system interrupt sequence…
