Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission

For my "convenience" and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait
Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???
You're viewing a single thread.
The funniest thing is that people complain about Windows, but at the same time are afraid of switching to Linux. Linux has improved so much over the years that it is capable of doing most of the same things as Windows can do (and I don't mean restoring the search bar every update)
I think for most people, including myself, it seems daunting. Especially since I've used this environment for close to thirty years. Additionally, I don't have money to buy extra hardware to experiment with.
A dual boot setup doesn't require any extra hardware. Hell, you can run some Linux distros directly from a USB drive if all you want to do is play with it and try to learn some things.
You took the words out of my mouth 😅
My switching to Linux felt a lot like the transition from Windows 95 to XP, or XP to 7. Linux Mint genuinely felt more familiar to me than Windows 8 did. You can try out Linux, learn about it, experiment with it, in VirtualBox. Install a Linux machine in a file right on your Windows machine. I think it's wroth at least trying out.
My question is how is at running Adobe products now?
Adobe doesn't have a native support for Linux OSes, but you can try PlayOnLinux
Edit: There is also a winapps project that claims to support Microsoft Office and Adobe programs.
Thanks
Can I run Creative Cloud?
Software parity is still distant for Linux, that's just a fact.
I think "afraid" is the wrong wording, it's mostly about Time Saved vs Time Wasted, for a lot of industries it's a lower cost for Windows at the moment but I think it's about to shift especially when the Windows market in India and China finally topple.
