Poor Windows. It got caught in the hands of middle and upper management who absolutely have no clue what they are trying to do. Last time I used Windows 11, it looked horrible with each app using different design language and tonnes of MSN stories, advertisements etc. Is that what they are calling AI? It didn’t help with any of the task I needed to complete and was more annoying than anything.

I’m definitely not against AI and in fact I wish AI becomes much efficient so it can run on local machines. I can see it is useful in many areas like translation, video compression, accessibilty tools, code reviews, grammar check, writing etc. But shoving it everywhere makes me puke. It’s waste of time, power, minerals, water and also investor money.

Get real Microsoft.

Agree. Saying TPM is bad is same as saying Encryption is bad. It’s not about the technology. It’s about the evil hearted corporations using these technologies to limit user freedom.

I replaced Raspberry Pis with Intel NUC mainly because NUC comes with TPM 2.0. I can now encrypt my drives without storing the key in plaintext.

I could not read the blog because it blocked me for using VPN (speaking of DRMs :) ). While I agree DRM is evil and should be ablolished from user’s computers, readers should not get wrong idea about TPM. It’s what protects your phone and servers from attackers. Desktop would also benefit from it a lot.

That too on ARM. Whereas modern applications on Windows (and Mac, Linux) even on high performance x86 sucks so much. Slack and Chrome are two of the worst pieces of software ever designed by humans.

Not only is it resource‑intensive, but Qubes also lacks Secure Boot and Wayland support. Secure Boot is critical to ensure the OS has not been tampered with, and Wayland is required to isolate individual apps running within a single VM from capturing input intended for other apps. For an average user, I would recommend SecureBlue rather than Qubes.
