Why does everyone blindly accept a for-profit company taking full control of privately owned hardware as if they own it? How is this acceptable? How do we fight against it?

>Microsoft is planning major chances for your PC
Nice try Mike Rosoft but I use NixOS

>How is this acceptable?
You accept it during the installation.
>How do we fight against it?
You know damn well how.

>You know damn well how.
yeah, you don't
unless the US magically bans proprietary software, there's nothing anyone can do

>Will it allow me to play videogames better?
Yes
>Do I care?
No

Because it's 2019 and Linux still doesn't have hardware video acceleration in browsers.

you can magically ban proprietary software in your heart

did anybody even read the article?
>Back in May it was rumoured Microsoft could be toying with bringing back rounded corners to its computer operating system.
>That looks set to change in 20H1 by allowing users to create desktop names that can be saved.
>Instead of using a typical combination of words and symbols, the American tech giant is insisting that harnessing a PIN, facial recognition or a device’s fingerprint scanner will result in “improved security and a more seamless sign-in experience”.
that's fucking it you autists

Because Linux desktop is shit and you suck
Only deluded incel neckbeards would argue otherwise,

Proprietary Windows software can be run on Linux these days. In fact, because of Wine having compatibility with some things that are older than XP, Linux in an odd turn of events has better compatibility with some Windows applications than modern Windows. Nowadays the main obstacle to Linux seeing wider normie adoption really does come down to Linux's UI-based shit for system configuration being inadequate.

Do you have a free will? Are you an idiot? Just don't install windows ffs.

>a 4 digit pin is more secure than a password
Nice try 3 letter agency

when MS says it will be making major changes to windows 10 you can bet they mean the task bar will be a pastel colour and the windows themselves will have buttons with rounded corners

>windows themselves will have buttons with rounded corners
oh please no
We haven't even gotten consistency with the standard W10 UI yet.

>How do we fight against it?
By not using it or at the very least not fear-updating?

>consistency
>Windows

Stranger things have happened, but we will never see that.

People who say this have never tried running Excel in Wine. Or at least not an Excel file with more than a thousand cells' worth of data, VBA, etc.

that' not new and you can create whatever pin you want. it also only works if the machine is online.

>taking full control of privately owned hardware as if they own it
Microsoft isn't holding a gun to your head and forcing you to run Windows on your hardware.

You dumb nigger, it's an Express article which is a fucking awful UK newspaper read literally exclusively by boomers, of course they are going to word it like that.

Install Gentoo
hwaccel useflag.

>How is this acceptable?
The alternative is letting normans manage their own computer.

By using Windows 7 and only installing security patches from WSUS.

Yeah normies and the NPCs are the reason why software is getting so dumbed-down nowadays. Back in the 80s, 90s and even the 00s. Only rich and educated people could afford a computer and access to the internet.

Nixos is based

Why can't you make a thread without acting like you stumbled off from Jow Forums two minutes ago. Use something else or stop crying about it, nobody's forcing you you fragile snowflake
