Just had a chat with a gamer friend who was ditching Windows for good and switching to bazzite.gg. I’ll probably do so as well. Apparently I’ve been needlessly scared of Linux and I had missed that SteamDeck encourages devs to make games work for Linux.
Windows 11 will soon be able to describe images on your screen using AI — and it'll all be done locally

If you aren’t playing a game that has kernel mode anti cheat, like League of Legends, then your gaming experience will probably be the same if not better.

Bazzite is great.

Linux has come SO far. I first tried it about a decade ago, wrecked my install, and came crawling back to Windows. A few months back, I installed Ubuntu (tease all you want, peanut gallery, it’s better than Windows) on my laptop and it’s so much better. It just works great, I have my system customized to how I want it to work, and the poor CPU fan is no longer blasting even when the system is idle. My battery life also gained almost an hour.

I’ve been using Ubuntu since 7.04, it’s all Linux underneath just with a slightly different look

This will absolutely be used to facilitate the collection and reporting user profiling data.
Better accessibility for the blind is only a side effect.

Blind people exist

It’s like I had already acknowledged that or something

Sometimes things are unlabeled, and this is for that
rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
this is 100% right, you don’t need an AI to describe something you’re already looking at. This is an absurd feature (again aside from the accessibility portion but that’s not what this is).

Why would I, or anyone want this?
SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
The blind or vision impaired would appreciate this.

I use a screen reader due to being blind, and this would be incredibly helpful. Mind you, I sure as hell wouldn’t use Windows in order to get it. But if I had the option to do this on Linux, I would totally go for it.

Never been happier that all my computers run Windows 10 or Linux. Windows 11 is dead to me, and if anything happens to accidentally get it installed somehow, it’s going to be replaced with Linux going forward.

A small conversation with Copilot makes my laptop choke on RAM, and that stuff is processed on cloud. No way I will allow Microsoft to run an AI locally.

I never cease to be impressed by the continual enshittification of Microsoft products, and the bar was pretty low to begin with.

Only available on Copilot+ PCs
Oh good, I don’t have to worry about figuring out how to disable this.
Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
*Yet
The Copilot+ moniker is only limited to a specific subset of PCs for now until all hardware on the market meets the requirements, then it’s inescapable. Microsoft will have your data, and I’m all but certain of an ulterior motive beyond just that for forcing this screen capture garbage onto their userbase.
Better to prepare now and move off the MS ecosystem entirely.

Thankfully I already have for the most part. Unfortunately I’m stuck dual booting until I can find a way to run fusion 360 on Mint.

Multimodal models has a lot of potentials in terms of accessibility.
But fuck Microsoft. you’re not fooling anyone.
