I wish I was a billion dollar company who gets away with stuff like this. Just generally break people’s systems, add spyware, lie to users, treat them like shit.

All while making even more money and my stocks keep on going up, because AI, Ai, Ai…

      I’ve been trying to learn linux for like 15 years off and on.

      I still don’t have a clue what I’m doing.

      I am planning on just disabling windows update medic service and keeping my current version of windows 10 that still allows dual booting to Linux.

      Once Valorant stops working on that version I guess I’ll have to just only play deadlock from then on.

        Caring about system integrity/security while playing a game that requires a literal rootkit are not compatible

          Absolutely agree, that’s why when I saw the patch notes for this latest Microsoft update I was like “They don’t mention why this is dangerous other than Linux can be used by the haxors”. It definitely just sounded like a way to crunch down on Linux use.

          And like you said, I already allow Microsoft and riot and probably others I’m not thinking of to just have complete access to my computer so it’s not like I have any privacy, for security I can always check out potential issues myself with my pen testing laptop, so there is literally no benefit and only a ton of downsides to upgrading. So why would I?

          This weekend the upgrading and updating ends for good, and I will get my dual boot Linux whether they like it or not.
