“We set out to solve one of the most common frustrations we hear — finding and changing settings on your PC — using the power of AI agents,” Navjot Virk, corporate vice president of Windows Experiences at Microsoft, said in a blog post on Tuesday. “An agent uses on-device AI to understand your intent and with your permission, automate and execute tasks.”
They really are trying hard for people to switch to Linux huh
Blackmagic please, for the benefit of all editors, make DaVinci Resolve work properly on Linux. I’d switch tomorrow.
About 20 years ago I would handle my email, IRC, watching movies and web browsing on Linux and each time I wanted to play Counter Strike I would reboot and switch to windows. After I was done with CS I would boot back to Linux. People who say they can’t use Linux because X doesn’t work there are just lazy.
I get where you’re coming from, and I tried this. The point is to get away from windows, and if the main program I use my computer for lacks essential features that affect my work, then I can’t switch.
Honestly, calling people lazy without context just makes you another Linux bro and doesn’t help bring people over.
Works fine on bazzite for me.
What’s wrong with it? Works fine for me. Ubuntu 24.04
Idk what I did and Im sure it was my fault, but it bricked my linux mint when I tried to install it
The AAC issue and working directly from a NAS. It’s adding a lot to the workload to work around AAC. NAS could be a me issue, but other programs have no issue with accessing it and working directly from it.
Seems like it would have been cheaper, easier, and better pr to just simplify settings or have them in more logical categories, but what would I know.
It’s much more fun to just half-ass a new control panel with only a few features, and then hide the old, fully-functional control panel.
Bonus points if you can then begrudgingly finally show the old, useful, control panel when a user clicks 6 layers deep in the new panel.
First time using Microsoft products, is it?
If a problem exists, and you try to fix it without AI, do you even stand a chance at getting promoted?
Of course this is a solved problem and has been a solved problem for at least 15 years now. It’s called a flat wide hierarchy. Rather than trying to put everything into categories you just put everything into alphabetical order and then have a search box. Want to change the background, it’s under B for Background, rather than having to go to Display Settings > Customisation > Desktop Background > Custom Background > Select Image
It’s rather apparent that you composed this comment without AI. Guess I’ll have to give that pay raise to myself again…
We can only hope that the windows de-bloating tools are updated so we can disable or remove this feature.
At this point to Debloat you’d be better off just removing windows. Save yourself the fight and frustration
The amounts of copium that Windows users are willing to swallow to avoid changing are reaching stratospheric levels. Inertia is one hell of a drug.
easy, just get a debloating AI agent, what could go wrong
Group Policy is your friend.
Pro edition and up, unless copilot can be convinced.
I hope the AI agent will cover this use case.

Can’t wait to see all the exciting ways this fucks up people’s computers.

True but not quite for the reason you probably quoted it. The computer is merely a force multiplier for the human stupidity.
