Comment on Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising

  For what, may I ask? Can you give an example? I'm on Debian, arguably a less friendly distro than most, but I haven't had to touch the terminal in two weeks. And it was just to ping a server somewhere, something you need to do on the command line in Windows as well.

    How about setting the default audio device?

    How about changing the default power profile?

    Just for starters…

      Why the hell would you need to open the terminal for any of that? It’s in your settings

  Don’t know what you mean. Have people on opens use here, and they do just fine without the command line.

  You really don’t. I don’t know what on earth you’re doing that requires it.

  And I have to do bullshit like go onto powershell and the heap of shit that is the Windows registry from time to time, too. Shit, you need to enter commands to install windows with an offline account now, it’s insane.

  I wish Microsoft could make Windows as user-friendly as most Linux distros are. It seems like you need to be a computer scientist to use Windows sometimes.
