Upper management in Microsoft has been bragging about their high percentage of AI generated code lately - and in the meantime we've had several disastrous Windows 11 updates with the potential to brick your machine and a slew of outages at github. I'm sure it might be something else but it's clear part of their current technical approach is utterly broken.
CoPilot has done more for Linux than anyone expected. I switched. I'm switching my elderly parents away next before they fall victim.

Utterly broken - perhaps, but apparently that's not exclusive with being highly profitable, so why should they care?
When I first typed up my comment I said "their current business approach" and then corrected it to technical since - yea, in the short term it probably isn't hurting their pocket books too much. The issue is that it seems like a lot more folks are seriously considering switching off Windows - we'll see if this actually is the year of the linux desktop (it never seems to be in the end) but it certainly seems to be souring their brand reputation in a major way.
For the time being. Does anyone want Windows 11 for real?
The inertia is not permanent.
Cause it's finally the year of Linux on desktop.
