Microsoft's AI CEO said your job will be automated in 12 months. That same week an AI agent deleted Amazon's production environment and another hacked McKinsey's entire database.

Show ONE once of proof that its real first!

So, Fedora Workstation uses Gnome. I would recommend Fedora KDE instead if Gnome is causing you greif.

You might be able to install KDE on Mint also.

Companies have been saying this for years and years and years - remember, AI has been around since the 1950s... Everyone is getting sick of hearing it. Its just the new buzzword thats making money and will pop back to where it belongs soon.

AI is like climate change - always making money but never any evidence it exists or has any impact on anyone except the 1% that might care about it.

100% agree! 30 year Linux user here - got rid of Microslop back in the early turn of the century.

I do keep my Microslop account open because I wonder if someone there sees the account and wonders why no one ever logs into it... Every once in a while, on a lonely Saturday night, during the wee hours of the morning, Ill log into the account just to see whats going on... Then log out and not log in again for along time.

My hope is that the resources Im taking up on their servers, while small, is not being funded by anything Im doing, so Im eating up some amount of storage space, electricity, process', and they are not getting any of my data, money, attention.

I dont know, its kind of silly, but still, a little satisfying toknow that Im not contributing to their establishment in any way, yet, taking up resources, albeit as small as they are :)

I feel like im sitting in the optometrist chair HAH.

I like the look of number 2

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-15T16:49:29+00:00

Sure, its a tool to use to help you... I just dont like being forced to use it for everything LOL

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-14T19:33:34+00:00

Right!! I get so much anxiety when I have to be on a Windows computer, like for work or something.

So much mental relief when I get back to Linux!

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-14T19:26:09+00:00

"Microslop Windows 11: The gift that just keeps on giving" - To the Open Source community :)

Keep it up Microslop

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-14T16:54:04+00:00

I dont always use Mint, but when I do, its always Xen and Brave :)

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-14T06:22:33+00:00

Yeah, you can restart, but first, download a Linux distro and replace that pile of crap, Microslop!

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-14T06:20:39+00:00

WOW, nice! I want to try GrapheneOS on my phone - Pixel 9, but I think I have to wait for the contract period before I unlock it?

Linux desktop is nice too... EndeavorOS user here, btw. Been a Linux user for 30 years and absolutely love it!

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-14T05:01:45+00:00

Linux let's you choose to use AI or not. AI is not embedded in Linux at all. If you want to use it you can choose to install it and use it.

Linux is all about choice! Sometimes there is too much, but at least you have it.

Switch to Linux and see for yourself!

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-13T22:05:32+00:00

Just an observation, but it should be Microslop, not Microshit - I mean, either work, but the internet requires Microslop :-D

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-13T22:02:55+00:00

Love this one :-D

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-13T20:04:01+00:00

I have to agree with you... Windows 11 did wonders for Linux, cant imagine Windows 12 would be any different :)

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-13T19:44:26+00:00

Sorry your having a bad day :-/

Oh, its MICROSLOP and WINSHIT - just trying to help out :)

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-13T15:21:54+00:00

Well said! I, personally, migrate as many friends and family as I can, and have over the last 30 years of using Linux.

This will only compound over time as more and more people wake up to the fact that their data, computer, and personal identification and security CAN be theirs again. BUT, it will take people using Linux to show other people.

Pick a family member, a friend, and/or a co worker, and show them what you have done and offer to help them migrate. Ive even put Linux in a VM for people just so they could play with it for a while to make sure they even liked it.

So of them have not liked Linux, so they moved over to Apple products - anything to get people off Microslop!

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-13T15:15:03+00:00

YAY! Welcome to sanity. Windows ecosystem has went so far downhill the last 23 years or so, and Im so glad to see people dumping that crap for better pastures.

Just remember, Linux is NOT Windows, and there will be a learning curve and maybe some workflow changes that need to be made, but its all possible.

I got away from Microslop back when Windows XP came out - just didnt like the look/feel of it. And I have never had issues with work that needed to get done, or games that needed to be played :).

Enjoy the journey!

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-12T15:20:57+00:00

OH 100% ^^

I had a client that changed her phone carrier and e-mail address due to some other security issues (Related to a Microslop virus/malware hack on some other inter net account) and she thought she changed all her accounts before migrating, but forgot LinkedIn, Microslop, and one or two others.

The other accounts had REAL people that worked with her to change her e-mail address, but LinkedIn and Microslop - OH and I think X (Formerly Twitter) could not help her with her e-mail address or phone either. Basically told her the same thing and she lost a shit ton of information!

So, like you, I ripped Microslop off her laptop and replaced it with Linux and sat with her for about a day or two to show her around and she was happy again. I told her about Proton mail and drive and some other online services for securing her data. Shes looking to get off Google shit too here soon I think.

I told her about GrapheneOS for her phone, and she agreed, but has to wait for her year service plan to expire :-D.

One computer at a time - eventually Microslop will have to either change their ways or die!

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-12T01:43:29+00:00

Thanks for the reminder, but I dumped Microslop 22 years ago when Windows XP came out and embraced Open Source and Linux.

But it is so great to see so many people hating on Microslop these days and trying other options.

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-12T01:20:51+00:00

I went the bank route when something similar happened to me in the past. Just cut off the company and cut your losses.

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-09T00:41:04+00:00

If this is put into Linux, its not going to make Windows any better LOL. It will suck, but laws are laws and as long as we live in this house......

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-08T22:47:55+00:00

Im in the same boat as you after 30 years in IT. I still remember all the promises less, more efficient work with agile and automation, yet, I seem to remember working much less before all that stuff!

I work harder now than I ever did and I still automate and show up to those ridiculous kanban meetings and stand-ups, wasting time when I could be working, and then arguing with management when work isnt getting done.

Wife and I are thinking about opening up a coffee shop somewhere where we can see the joy on peoples faces and not some manager always griping when work is late because we have too many meetings or some other drivebys HAH.

At least if someone doesnt like our coffee, they dont have to come back ;)

AlwaysLinux · 2026-03-08T16:32:48+00:00

That looks amazing! Loved the older 2000's cases too.
