Microsoft appears to be blocking even more apps for customizing the user interface in Windows 11 24H2. Users noticed that ExplorerPatcher joined the recently blocked StartAllBack app.
TLDR: StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher and some other projects are being blocked on 24H2.
Nah fuck that, call Microsoft out. Fix the fucking Control Panel/Settings nonsense. Stop fucking doing things just because I didn’t say not to. Stop adding all Microsoft apps to startup by default. There’s plenty of reasons to egg corporations and this bullshit is very light-handed. They have the resources and power to make great things, they chose to chase this dragon and leave their OS a fucken mess. They deserve it. Especially with all these Linux distros that are free popping up left and right. At one point we have to fight back against these huge ecosystems that become complacent, fall into dark patterns, and that point was yesterday.
I mean it’s the only viable alternative. And it’s unquestionably that Microsoft has been making Windows worse recently.
That said. I’m not convinced Microsoft is doing this to hurt users. I think it’s probably the correct assumption that they have seen a high number of crashes with 24H2 and these software packages.
You’re being cringe, mate. The majority of people that use a computer could switch to Linux tomorrow and be totally fine.
I switched my parents to Linux months ago and they haven’t noticed the difference. And my parents know as much about computers as I know about quantum physics, just a hair more than jack shit.
So funny how people like you claim to support FOSS but then constantly dump on Linux and FOSS software. You spread FUD about FOSS, you talk about how it’s only good for nerds and “cult members.”
No, you’re not a realist or pragmatist or whatever you might think of yourself. You’re a corpo simp who won’t support FOSS unless it’s perfect in possible every way. Go take a toss and seethe.
It’s a slapped-together kernel with slapped-together software for tinkering nerds who hopefully can get the necessities and everything they care about actually working.
Try OpenBSD, it’s very clean.
And for people who want more-specific software, well, eff them, right?
They are already effed, the only thing which will possibly allow them to escape Microsoft’s grip is Microsoft’s goodwill. They can wait for that if they wish so.
If you want to solve the Linux problems, first thing you need is to go against the common Linux mentality.
I see much more problems with Windows and you seem a Windows user who can’t switch due to something, which means you too realize the need, and still with Windows culture which created such a situation you are giving advice?
Some self-awareness, please.
Get a big, well-organized group like Mozilla to produce an accessibility-ready, normie-ready, mainstream, FOSS version of Linux.
There are a few. OpenSUSE, Fedora, Mint.
If you’ve tried Arch first due to thinking that you are very smart - that’s your own mistake (that aside, Arch is fine too).
And then they pay the devs to do things they don’t want to do, such as focusing on specific issues instead of doing whatever they feel like at the time, and on QA-testing.
That’s how it already works for many years.
Hardware compatibility and hardware efficiency first.
Drivers are normally supplied by hardware vendors. If they don’t make drivers for Linux, it takes work which may not be worth it, and the person who bought crappy hardware is at fault more than Linux developers.
Imagine simping this hard for a monopolistic, spying, anti-consumer company with a market cap of $3,200,000,000,000
Seriously, why get this fucking butthurt about a person expressing the opinion that MS deliberately sabotaging people’s workflows is a bad thing? Pathetic.

Why did you say that when that’s false?
deleted by creator
That Windows is a more viable OS. That’s clearly false. It’s a mess from fresh install and doesn’t get better after a few months.

Linux Mint works out of the box and has every tool a normie would want installed and functional by default. The product you are asking for exists.

I’m really not. Stop being so upset about someone calling out the shitty behaviour of an awful company.
Microsoft won’t love you for what you’re doing. Nadela isn’t going to send you a bouquet of roses for your efforts.
deleted by creator
You jump to their defense when they do bad stuff.
Stop simping. Nadela doesn’t love you.

Oh no. How will I cope.
