Good screw them. They put a god damn button on the keyboard for their crap AI. Everyone just uses the smartest AI and has zero loyalty to your garbage AI. Look how quickly Meta abandoned open-source AI when they got behind.

Windows 11 is bloated, loaded with telemetry, won't stop nagging you about OneDrive and Office365 and now mandates sign-in with a Microsoft account while forcing 400+ million devices to not have security updates.

I'm willing to bet most of Microsoft's engineers are using Claude, not their own garbage.

Just install Linux. You’re only doing this to yourself at this point.

I keep coming back to see if Linux is usable for daily driving. I still dual boot but for the past 5 years if I don’t update my Linux partition for a few weeks due to going on holiday or visiting in-laws then I always run into boot issues. Mostly it’s been the OS booting to a black screen. At least windows doesn’t give me login issues and just works with any peice of hardware I want. It saying it’s perfect but even as a daily driver of windows canary, my windows system is much more stable than my Ubuntu/Arch System.

I’ve only ever had this happen with dual booting as Windows is a noisy neighbor. Try doing a fresh install of just Ubuntu or PopOS.

It’s been a reoccurring issue for the past four years and I make sure that both my Linux and windows storage/boot drives are on completely separate drives. I also have a current issue on my Ubuntu server that’s plugged into a KVM where if I don’t have the sever as the active input, if switch back I won’t get a display unless I reboot the server. Honestly I mostly use it headless anyways by removing in via ssh, but it’s nuances like that’ll where I treat Windows the same way as Linux.

Nah, your install is broken somehow. That's not in any way normal.

Diagnostics: Ubuntu/Arch? So you're triple booting? With I assume automatic updates enabled in Ubuntu and Windows, and manual in Arch? Spread over a plethora of disks?

Yeah, no, don't get in too deep with a complex configuration you can't handle and blame Linux for being an unusable daily driver. My girlfriend daily drives Linux. My dad daily drives Linux. It's fine.

It’s not a triple boot, I’ve had this happen on multiple times on a Windows/Ubuntu and Windows/Arch systems. Happened first on arch and just blamed it on Arch issues and switched to Ubuntu and it happened again and this is across different HW generations. automatic updates enables enabled on all configs and Linux will just have some weird issue that crops up that renders the OS not usable. I know what I’m doing and I’ve been running systems with Linux for over 20yrs. Linux has its issue and so does windows. Funny enough the majority of issues(at least in recent memory) have been on desktop systems. My first homelab server ran on my old dell laptop without any major issues for 5 years before migrating to a desktop.
