I feel like this is gonna go as well as cloud gaming did. Working directly on a server is great in an office setting, but at home it’s just stupid and unnecessary.
“We take the Personal out of PC”
Ugh, fuck that. I’ll have to bite the fucking Linux bullet at that point
Yep, I had the same thought. I run Win10 on my desktop and PopOS on my laptop; I plan to keep running Win10 for as long as possible, but if this cloud-based nonsense is the future, I’m not hesitating to also switch my desktop to Linux. This stuff is so ridiculous.
More and more what I buy gets turned into a brick if I’m offline. Ugh.
Fuck that! I want to own my OS.
Even signing in with a MS account to “sync” my PC’s is something I would never choose to do.
Well, Microsoft can fuck the fuck off! First of all, you should own things you paid for. And second, they can’t even make Windows Update function reliably. I have no desire to have my OS stop working just because some server isn’t responding. No, thank you.
What do you mean? If you’re dual-booting Windows and Linux, Windows Update will reliably mess up the bootloader because who wouldnwant to use another OS?
So we are back to the good old UNIX days when all we own were terminals and actual computers were mainframes online? /s
I can’t even imagine how that would even work other than being blocked out of access without uninterrupted Internet connection. “Oh, your Internet provider shit themselves? Too bad. You get nothing.”
Any idea of how this will sit with government organizations and colleges/universities?
I believe in Canada most (if not all) provinces and even post secondary institutions have data policies that don’t allow most cloud services since they can’t guarantee data isn’t being stored or processed in a data center outside it’s borders.
There are some exceptions for the use of OneDrive, but we are prohibited from storing any sensitive data there. Other cloud based apps are hosted on a proprietary instance, but I’m not sure if this option will be available in this case.
that’ll be a bigger flop than windows me was
The what?
Windows Millenium Edition - a true success story
man that sucks ass, the only thing that’s making me not mainly use linux at this point is gaming compatibility.
Most of the games I’d use Windows for I cna run easily and just as well with Proton on Linux (Arch).
You need to enable Proton for each game in the right-click settings but once you do you can sinatll anything.
In fact Irecently played a cracked version fo Hades without using Steam. It just installed and ran using Wine.
