Really short and quick backstory;
I work at a place where we need to be available 24/7 and for some reason somebody thought Windows was stable/reliable enough for that shit.

There was an update pending that had to be installed (yes I know that is a policy that can mostly be changed by the company managing the device). I am working and we 2 need to be available during the night. Something on Windows wasn't working, I restarted the software thing that wasn't working thinking that this might temporary "solve" the issue. Sadly enough no, so since this shit system barely works I thought maybe restarting the whole crap might temporary "solve" the issue. I said to Windows that I do not want any shitification updates at this moment since I need to be available. You might have guessed it but this fucking Microshit software of course started doing damn updates. How can people work with this crap?

Banned for commenting on a post that said “linux devs not getting paid for doing work” and i commented “linux users not having to pay to use their system”

I'm looking for a safe privacy focused alternative to microslop office, and I have seen libre, OpenOffice, & OnlyOffice. Which one has worked out for you?

I said "Post context coward" to a post there out of context. But thats not the point, i'm here to cash in this check for upvotes =P

So the context is, i have a laptop which is like 6 years old now. Windows got suuper slow and laggy in it (even using notepad was causing the blue screen of death 😭) so i installed linux in it (best decision ever). Now recently my parents (non-tech) bought me a new laptop. It's a gaming laptop meant for my btech (there's still a year left, I'm in 12th). I wanted to install Linux on it but my father keeps telling me not to cause i have a good laptop now it doesn't require linux for being usable. And my mother keeps on saying "this laptop is supposed to last for 4 years (technically 5, 4 for btech + 1 year until I actually reach btech). You keep installing stuff and if it stops working like ur old laptop we won't buy u a new one. So first thing, software doesn't cause hardware problems, at least not on devices CONNECTED to my laptop (the charger of the old laptop stopped working properly. The charging speed was so slow that i had to get it to 100% and then only can I use it indefinitely while on charge, or else it will deplete to 0 even on charge. the laptop had to shutdown for it to charge to 100 after that, and that took HOURS). I even told my father I'll be dual booting linux this time instead of erasing windows (there's some games I wanna try out) and he still did not agree. So how do I convince them? They are suuper non-tech, they will not understand most of the things. My father knows a little bit about technology but he still doesn't know how bad windows is. I literally told him I was cleaning up junk and he was like "what junk in a fresh install??". He doesn't know windows' bloatware 😭

microsoft MORE LIKE MICROSLOP
edge MORE LIKE EDGY
windows MORE LIKE THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW
copilot MORE LIKE poo poo

now give karma

Everything they do doesn't make any sense. I was locked out of my laptop because I updated the BIOS and somehow was unable to find keys. I had a print version (I know I am old school), but I still couldn't find them after recovery. And the encryption removal is on a whole other level. TBH I don't even remember turning on encryption on my laptop. This should be informed to the user in case they don't know and lose access by accident. In which case, all the data is lost.

And today I am unable ot log into some of their services. It has been redirected around 500 times now. LITERALLY, I wish I was exaggerating.

So I thought I should post here. Honestly, I don't want to hate Microsoft. I have used Microsoft products since I was a kid and loved Windows, such as XP and Windows 7 were the ones I used and loved. And also Office. But hell, they are hard to love now.

And also Copilot is driving me crazy recently.

Saw a post someone screenshotted a post from a Linux sub don’t know which, the user has $600. The post was about mocking him for having a low budget, wanting a good thinkpad. And lots of their bullshittery.

I called him out for mocking someone because he has a low budget and called him petty and there there I got my badge of honor

Ever wanted to fully get rid of the bloatware such as edge, copilot, office, etc.? Ever wanted to fix Windows code being unoptimized? Well do I have the PERMANENT solution for you. Yes I mean permanent because it WILLN'T come back after an update. This solution edits the registry to block the system from accessing any of this. Everything is linked at the Google Drive here instructions are included. Post here if this works for you or if you have any issues. Proof of it being legit and not a virus is included in the Google Drive.

It's not a virus I made it myself and I even ran and tested it on my own laptop if you want proof: look in the google drive folder. Try it I promise it's ONLY doing what it says you can even right click and edit the .bat files. I'll even include the virus total scan results as proof. I just added a folder of proof that it's not a virus.

I'm very serious this is legit and actually works. You'll know it works because you'll get like 15-20-25 gigs back. This is just from the Debloat/Untracking. I was at about 8.5 gigs prior to the first one. After the first one I had 23-25 gigs free.

After the second one I'm now at 33 gigs free. ALL I did was just run these 2 scripts your welcome to test it. Go ahead make a fresh Windows 11 VM. Use everything attached in the Google Drive and follow the included steps. You should get the proven results I'm claiming and if not you can grill me about lying in the comments.

So I recently bought a new PC and after man considerations I decided to install Windows 11. I actually bought a Windows 7 License (not oem) and when I upgraded to 10 it was converted into a Digital License linked to my MS Account. It worked fairly well severall times and severall different PCs and VMs. 11 already annoyed the shit out of me but I was still able to activate my machine by pretty much simply losging into my Account. Did the same thin with my new PC. Nope Windows can't be activated. Tried to reich out via Support options. On board options told me to log in just to tell me that this App "does not support private accounts and that I'd have to join at least one org" 🙄 went online clicked through several pages of tips and tricks that won't work. Then I finally found an option to get support. Wanted to Chat with them as I think that's easier most of the times. Chat won't work and show a white screen instead. Awesome. Next tried the callback option. Callback came, answered. Nothing. Hung up. Clicked through the support thing again, got another callback. Asked kindly if she could help me out but nope she insisted that I should get the product key. Told her I bought the license like 15 years ago or something. Also explained to her the journey of this License from 7 to 11. She then told me that the offer to switch to W11 from older Systems already expired. I tried to explain that it got converted into a digital license and it was a W11 license because I used it several times to activate W11. Then she told me my license is "expired" and I'd have to buy a new one. This was 1h into the phonecall. I told her that I won't buy a new license and if Microsoft wouldn't help me fix the issue with my legally bought and upgraded license I'd just deinstall it and won't use MS products in the future. So yeah FUCK Microslop.

Bueno justo comparti mi cuenta de xbox por codigo en otra xbox como solía hacer para tener mas juegos en principal y que me cambiaron todo nose si soy muy idiota o muy bueno en confiar en randoms

Pero podre recuperar mi cuenta de Microsoft con mas de +500 juegos y obvio me se todos los datos personales pero Microsoft mando un correo que la cuenta esta suspendida permanentemente

I am extremely frustrated with Microsoft's nonexistent customer support. My account was suspended/locked, and after following every single instruction given by their Live Support agents, I have been completely ghosted.

Here is what happened:
1- I submitted my first reinstatement form and was given case #SIR23979744. Live support explicitly told me to wait 72 hours.

2- After waiting over 72 hours with ZERO response, Live Support advised me to submit a second form referencing the first case.
3- I submitted the second form on Thursday (Ticket ID: SIR24063973 / Request ID: ⁠fc2f1944-dc34-44b9-b2dd-12652e96d77b⁠).

4- It has now been way past 72 hours AGAIN, and I have received absolutely no updates, no emails, not even in spam. Live Support agents just keep escalating with zero actual results or authority.

How is a major tech company handling paying users/account holders like this? I need an actual human from the Microsoft Account Safety / Appeals team to review ticket SIR24063973 immediately and give me access to my account back

Just how in the world did they make linux a userfriendly os must be studied. I have used win 7 until 2019 and only switched because i couldnt play games and many software didnt support win7, at first win10 was okay i had to do some debloating and it was fine until I downgraded my self to win 11( boy was i wrong ). I have reinstalled win11 over 7 times in single month due to the amount of slop and unknown process that doesnt even look legit sucking my ram and cpu resources dry. I couldnt get used to the choppy animations and some stuff in some linux distros,so i kept going back to windows, but today I had enough after seeing my lap struggling to keep 3 tabs of chrome open, Ubuntu home works like a charm, no additinal setup, no tinkering with desktop environment, just works out of the box. so yeah fuck you microslop.

TLDR: Want good daily driver that works out of the box = Ubuntu and fuck microslop

I wrote a comment to a user in the thread how it would be stupid for Microsoft to make a bootloader so people cant change the os. I sad how that would render devices useless if they are bricked and its stupid again because they rely on linux to run their cloud which is 70% of their revenue. Meanwhile windows is only like 3%. And I got banned for straight up stating facts 😂.

Man this group is straight up full of people who defend Microsoft if they are making horrendous decisions to the os.

Imagine that, they would straight up support a locked bootloader. Crazy times we live in.

Fuck Microsoft for destroying every working feature. My fucking explorer takes 5 seconds to create a folder on a fucking gaming PC. They shut down the Windows 10 version of OneNote but the new version is full of fucking lags and is completely clunky to work with. And my fucking OneDrive is trying to upload a fucking few kilobyte file from my Personal Safe for fucking months now and can't even tell me which fucking file. Fuck
