BREAKING: Microsoft confirms a major Windows 11 release that focuses on performance, reliability, bug fixes, and bids goodbye to forced Windows Updates + unwanted Copilot integration!
Microsoft is seriously and sincerely improving Windows 11 by listening to top feedbacks:
- Movable taskbar confirmed.
- You can now pause Windows Updates for as long as you want. No forced shutdown/reboot when updates paused.
- Windows Update is moving PCs to a single monthly reboot.
- Faster File Explorer, reduced memory footprint, faster Windows Search, better OS performance, and other bug fixes
- Scaling back Copilot in Windows 11, start with apps like Notepad
- Moving Windows core experience to WinUI (native framework), dropping WebView/React in features like the Start menu
- Fewer notifications (disruptions), improved drivers, and more.
How do you want Microsoft to improve Windows 11? 👇

systemd has implemented a birthDate field in compliance with age verification laws from a few govnmts and is censoring or limiting the open debate around that topic
here's a list of systemd-free Linux distros:
(out of those, I know Devuan and Artix devs have already pronounced against complying with the age verification law at the OS layer, making them likely safe alternatives moving forward -- Devuan is based on Debian and Artix on Arch)
+ Devuan
+ Void
+ Artix
+ Guix
+ Gentoo
+ Funtoo
+ Loc-OS
+ Alpine
+ Slackware
+ Antix
+ Venon
+ PCLinuxOS
+ Gobo
+ Obarun
+ Kiss
+ LiGurOS
+ Sulinos
+ Crux
+ Dragora
+ Glaucus
+ Hyperbola
+ Nutyx
+ Parabola
+ Slitaz
+ Puff
+ Core
+ Chimera
+ Nxos
+ Peppermintos
+ MxLinux
+ OpenWRT

systemd has merged a commit by dylanmtaylor to collect and store users's birth dates in compliance with Brazil and California age verification laws -- which has been a controversial topic in Linux communities the same dev (dylanmtaylor) tried to push a similar change to archinstall (Arch Linux), which has, so far, been denied -- but the discussion was reopened after being closed for a while there are also reports of commentators having their posts removed or even being banned from the r/linux subreddit for posting opposing views to age verification laws and compliance how can the subreddit of the leading OPEN-source project be so CLOSED for different perspectives? makes you wonder... reddit is a terrible place for open debates, i'm more than convinced at this point

@nwcs_sh @metux_its systemd is to Linux what Windows is to softwares in generals
98% of Linux distro depends on systemd, and KDE/GNOME also depend a lot on systemd
open-rc is a stable, easy to use init system like systemd, but only Void, Artix, Devuan, Alpine and Gentoo use it
English
@metux_its Why cant we just fork systemd leaving all the bad? Why does it have to be so black and white?
English
yet another coffin nail for #systemd and distros based on it. people should use #nonsystemd distro, eg. #Devuan, #Artix, #GhostBSD, etc.

SystemD has added birth date storage in order to comply with Brazil and California Age Verification laws. Let that sink in. A Linux init system now handles Age Verification. github.com/systemd/system…

So the blame goes to this fucking californians

@squared_echo @Shoestring_Lab @notgrubles Yes. The software industry would have no issues if suddenly all California based developers could not use linux...

Legitimately considering a non-systemd Linux, or just going BSD at this point. This is so contra to FOSS.

@Andrath1975 @LundukeJournal It's already a struggle to have people moving from Microslop Windows to Linux
And you want them/us to use OpenBSD ? That have like 0 software support (I'm exagerating, but you perfectly see what I mean)

I’m compiling together a list of which Open Source Operating Systems (Linux, BSD, etc.) do (or do not) plan to comply with new Age Verification laws.
I need to track these for the purpose of reporting on the story, and I figured others would find having a list handy as well.
If you’d like to contribute, feel free. Will be adding to the list as more systems are confirmed as either implementing or opposing Age Verification.

And it's California
"What are the developers supposed to do?"
Idk not comply with California law, who give a fuck about them

@Shoestring_Lab @notgrubles The law is the law, and its enforcement is arbitrary and capricious. What are the developers supposed to do?

For anybody saying "Just use Linux", you need to realise that Linux is worse than Windows.
Windows has all the bloat, and while you can have Linux without any of that you still don't have tools like Remedybg, RAD Debugger and Super Luminal. Once you have such tools, then Linux is a suitable app development environment.
But _it is still trash_ because of the whole Linux model of you needing to compile everything. The fact that you cannot run an app built using a newer version of glibc is an insane decision.
I shouldn't have to upgrade my whole machine in order to run something built on a newer version.
I shouldn't be worried that an upgrade will break my machine.
I shouldn't be forced to compile things from scratch to work on my machine.
I shouldn't be forced to install N packages, I just want self contained binaries I can just download and run.
I shouldn't be forced to develop with an old distro to have "max glibc compatibility".
I shouldn't have to worry about X11 / Wayland / Window Managers.
I shouldn't have to worry about asking the user to select a folder, display a dialog or show notifications.
Linux is such a huge waste of potential, if they got their shit together they would completely obliterate Windows. I first got into Linux in 2000, and even back then there was this "it will take over Windows any time now!". It's been _26 years_!
The same way I'd pay quite a lot for Windows without any bloat, I'd be willing to pay for a distro that gives me all this.
