Try Omarchy with Windows VM: https://learn.omacom.io/2/the-omarchy-manual/100/windows-vm

Thank you. I haven't tried this. I'll look into it.

It’s just arch with an opinionated hyprland setup and some glue, which is fine as far as it goes but don’t expect miracles.

Not knocking it I’m sure it has value to developers who want a more turnkey setup for common dev setups.

What do you want to do in GIMP that Krita can't do with a better UI?

> What do you want to do in GIMP that Krita can't do with a better UI? Adjust levels in photos.

Do you mean with the levels filter that Krita has, with the curves filter that Krita has, with the color balance filer that Krita has, with the slope, offset, power filter that Krita has, or with the hue/saturation/luma or red chroma/blue chroma/luma adjustment filter that Krita has?[1]

They are all available as non-destructive filter layers, by the way, and Krita users had access to this way before GIMP 3.0 was released with non-destructive filters.

It's funny to see how Windows and Linux completely switched sides. Linux once being the clumsy one, hard to install, even harder to configure, mediocre UX, running on poor device drivers and requiring hours spent on the internet to solve a problem. Today, replace the "Linux" word with "Windows" in the previous sentence.

If that really was the case, then this would finally be the year of the Linux Desktop(tm).

Every year is the YOLD!

Outlook is what is keeping me away from Linux Desktop.

Have you tried Thunderbird recently? It's had quite a lift.

No I have not, for many many years. The calendar is the key feature for me - I will give it a try then

They have been taking down a lot of YouTube videos with Bob Dylan botlegs in the recent days, so maybe the platform is becoming more restrictive with everything, not just Windows 11 installs

The times they are a-changin'

There's an old anecdote that everyone uses only 10% of Excel's features ...but everyone uses a different 10%. Something that's useless to you might be a dealbreaker to someone else.

I doubt that holds up personally I would guess reliance on excel is declining

Excel spreadsheets built 30 years ago likely pin people to excel

The number of Linux fanboys coming out of the woodwork to complain about Windows (and to provide anecdotes about Windows which are clearly exaggerated) is very high. Please read the Linux Advocacy HOW-TO. Shitting on Windows and MacOS does not make you look authoritative, honest, or credible. It makes you look like you have a very strong opinion and shut off from anything that does not conform to your opinion.

Windows and macOS will happily do everything they can to take your money and keep you in their ecosystem but shitting on them is a crime ?

no, of course not. I swear to God, reading comprehension among Linux fans falls lower and lower every year.

shitting on them makes anything you say about a competing operating system appear like fully biased opinion, rather than fact. if you want people who you have not already captured to listen to you, you must do your best to appear unbiased. shitting on anything is 100% bias. and if you have opinions like that, how can someone you're trying to win over trust that the positive things you're saying about this other thing aren't also 100% opinion?

Stick to the facts if you want to ever hope to do anything other than make Linux fans appear like they are rabid dogs who attack anything they don't like on sight.

You can do that if you want, I don't care. But I don't go to rabid dogs for their opinions when it comes to choosing things, and no one else does either.

You say things like this to get a mob going, and I want you to admit that. you all shit on things you don't like because you want to feel heard by others who also shit on those same things. but people who aren't like that come here and they read this stuff, too. And you're shitting on them in the process.

Step 1: https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ Set up an unattend script how you want it to install Windows 11 Education, the only sane build of W11 with most AI shit turned off.

Step 2: Install W11 with the autounattend.xml.

Step 3: Powershell as admin -> irm https://get.activated.win | iex

It’s possible AI moderation called the Windows videos unsafe. Next might be routine car maintenance.

The solution is to run Linux. KDE is a good desktop environment: https://kde.org/ 90% of Windows games run on Linux: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45736925 LibreOffice is an okay office suite (good enough for my purposes): https://www.libreoffice.org/ GIMP is a good image editor: https://www.gimp.org/ VLC is a good media player: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Unfortunately, that last 10% of games are AAA competitive multiplayer that account for a massive user base who are still dependent on windows to play them (battlefield 6, fortnite, any of the call of duty games from the last 8 years, league of legends, GTA online, apex legends, rainbow six siege...)
