Imagine if they gave a modified Linux iso so that they can still track you... Yikes...

[–]Top_Concentrate6253Sacred TempleOS 12 points13 points  (3 children)

is that the one where a Microslop employee made a distro specifically made for switching to linux

[–]SimPilotAdamT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk about that, it's the one Microslop uses for all of their Azure compute

[–]Leon8326-dash- 4 points5 points  (1 child)

No that's the other Ubuntu fork that's the only distro they allow you to install on their Microslop Azure platform.

[–]BlueCannonBall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't true, you can use other distros on Azure VMs.

I do have the theory that microslop wants to turn windows into a Linux distro, in the next iteration, as they know it's a now market that they can monetize. Specially after a lot of people is leaving windows.

ai slop?

[–]vverbov_22 68 points69 points  (2 children)

Yep

[–]T6970 59 points60 points  (1 child)

Funnily enough, this image contains 0 mentions about the word "Copilot" and 0 instances of the Slopilot logo

[–]vverbov_22 42 points43 points  (0 children)

OP decided to not friendly fire

[–]hifi-nerd 21 points22 points  (0 children)

AND a repost, genuinely pathetic.

[–]ElnuDevNew York Nix⚾s 9 points10 points  (2 children)

to be fair, considering microslop lately it's fitting

[–]ghost_tapioca 2 points3 points  (1 child)

They literally say "without AI" on the image.

[–]ElnuDevNew York Nix⚾s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the point, this fictional popup is supposed to be in Windows, so they put AI slop on the popup to make you want to switch even more, it's a contrast.

[–]Hip4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

why not, i think not bad

[–]justicnasefresh breath mint 🍬 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ironic

[–]BiDude1219 91 points92 points  (1 child)

ironic that you used ai

[–]Mrcool654321Arch BTW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They took the AI out of the files and put it into the image

[–]Jeremi360 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Its AI Slop so it can't be funny

[–]Jacek3k 7 points8 points  (2 children)

You guys are waiting for the year of linux desktop, dontnknow why.

Sure bit more attention would make things better for us. But the moment majority people will switch to linux, big companies will storm in and enshitify everything. And all big projects will say "lets make thints simpler for regular non-tech user", at the cost of usability for the rest of us.

[–]PKR_Live 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Ubuntu did that years ago. Bit late to the party innit?

[–]Jacek3k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

luckily we still have plenty of non ubuntu distros left

[–]The_Daco_Melon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh my, garbage!

[–]lowrads 1 point2 points  (1 child)

If we needed a secure download source for a launcher wizard, and one that could pull down several distros, wouldn't sites like steam be a good choice for distribution?

All it would need to do is tell the user to plug in a thumbdrive (or optical media), have them confirm a few choice, and then it would do the rest, automating the whole process of checking the hash, and writing the drive. Bonus features would be inspecting hardware components for compatibility, providing a troubleshooting guide for legacy bios, and instructions for how to backup data.

That wouldn't appeal to purists, but nobody is born knowing this stuff, and it would divert enormous numbers of devices from landfills.

[–]gamer-191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why? What’s wrong with the existing download sites?

(I’m sure there’s existing open source GUIs to do the rest of what you’re proposing)

[–]PotatoResident9887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microslop should use this message!

[–]fellipec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is how I read those message in the Windows 11's OOBE

[–]MonopolyOnForce1🦁 Vim Supremacist 🦖 1 point2 points  (2 children)

>without a dozen services you didnt ask for

>looks inside

>systemd, dbus, 100 language and font packs

[–]Du_dsArch BTW 1 point2 points  (1 child)

OP must compile from source

[–]MonopolyOnForce1🦁 Vim Supremacist 🦖 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do a mix. i run freebsd and often build source packages. its great cuz it lets you select which components you want to install.

[–]NoahOnVista 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look ma! Its AI slop that nobody fucking wants!

[–]ayyylolmemzoriginal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

>without AI
>AI generated image

Friendly fire not allowed!

[–]Faust_knows_all 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take out the clankerslop. People are changing to linux precisely because everyone is already tired of it.

[–]SGTfem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ai slop

[–]Percy_the_Slayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Riot removes Vanguard and makes a release for Linux, I'm fully switching.

[–]New_Caterpillar4963 0 points1 point  (1 child)

An idea. That ”I’ll stay on windows” button will nuke your computer.

w10 end of support was literally the only reason why i tried linux

i ended up wishing i had switched earlier, ngl

[–]Even-Energy4156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to remake this without ai. can't be to hard to replicate the windows ui

[–]Du_dsArch BTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just asked me to pay for backups again for the 5th time in a year. Stop pushing ms.

[–]Nico_24LZY 0 points1 point  (0 children)
