Das Update #-kb5077181 vom 10. Februar 2026 für #Windows11 24H2 / 25H2 blockiert (vorwiegend auf Samsung Geräten) den Zugriff auf C, so dass Anwendungen wie Outlook, Office 365 etc. nicht mehr funktionieren.

#MacOS is my second best.
Regular followers know I am a long-term #Linux user, and I hate #Windows11…
Getting prepared for a job at the mixing console I just booted up my #Waves #SuperRackPerformer setup, which runs on a #MacMiniM1 with a #RME #DigifaceDante. Basically, it's for using Waves #plugins live.
X-FDBK fights feedback when used with care, and PSE reduces bleed from drums into vocal mics, and since my #AllenHeathSQ5 has only one insert per channel, I also like to use the de-esser of Waves.
This setup doesn't pay off, but it improves my life on occasion, and the last occasion was a few months ago.
If you boot up a #Windows 11 installation that was last run several months ago, it's simply impossible to work with it.
MacOS however… comes up, logs into the Wifi, gets date and time right, I pop into Superrack Performer and everything works – this is Apple!
(That I had to spend over 150€ for a third-party touch screen driver… that's also Apple then.)

Ich hatte vor eine Weile was dazu geschrieben, das Windows11 wieder installiert ist auf einer 2ten SSD in meinem PC um das neue Battlefield6 sowie HaloWars2 spielen zu können.
https://quasselkopf.de/@kranzkrone/115326086305508496
DAS hat sich nun, wieder, erledigt sowie endgültig!‼️
HaloWars2 ist unter Windows11 wieder so ein Krampf wie einst mit Windows10, gelegentliche Abstürze mitten im Spiel ohne nachvollziehbaren Grund und Neuinstallation schafft nur bedingt Abhilfe für ein paar Runden. Anstrengend und somit nichts für mich langfristig. 😡
Battlefield6 ist ein Witz und für mich der Nagel von EA! 🖕
GTA5 ist online unspielbar für mich wegen Cheatern sowie anderen Problemen. 🤮
Kurzum, bin endgültig fertig und geheilt von Windows sowie vermeintlicher Notwendigkeit dafür.
Linux Mint kann und hat alles was ich brauche, nur wesentlich Ressourcen effizienter. 😉

I'm so frustrated by #Windows11 that I'm thinking of getting a #MacBook #Neo. I've written a lot about #Windows and some about #Linux, which you can see at https://www.ii.com/portal/windows/ and https://www.ii.com/portal/nix-nux/. I'm losing my mind learning about all the ways to #debloat Windows, minimize #telemetry, use only a #LocalAccount, get rid of ads, get rid of AI, etc. that maybe it is time for me to give up on Windows. I'm thinking I'll get one at #Costco, but I'd love your thoughts on...
* whether Costco is a reasonable place to get a #MacBookNeo
* what #privacy and #security issues should I be aware of with a MacBook Neo. I will not connect to an #Apple account or use any #AppleServices
Thanks for any tips!

What Happens If I Don’t Update Windows 11
Windows 11 March 2026 patch is out!

Passé sur #Windows11 au boulot.
Pour être sûr qu'on utilise tous #Edge, à défaut de nous en interdire l'utilisation, on ne peut plus synchroniser un compte, ni enregistrer des mots de passe sur #Firefox...
🤮
Déjà que je détestais #Win11. Je devrais célébrer le nouveau PC plus puissant, mais non : envie de tout cramer !

This week's exciting forays into computing:
🟠 I am loving Debian + KDE on my main computer. I miss nothing from Windows. (What the hell takes Windows Explorer so long? Dolphin is instant!)
🟠 Steam/Proton run some of my games better than Windows did.
🟠 While Windows removes the ability to customise things with every update, I can customise every little thing on Linux.
🟠 Wrote my first C program that does GPIO stuff on Raspberry Pi.
#Microsoft soll wirklich mal aufhören #Windows11 durch KI zu verschlimmbessern.
Guckt sich das keiner vom QM noch an, bevor es in die Welt entlassen wird?
#entshitification bei Windows wird immer schlimmer!
In prep for the Windows 12 rollout, now is a good time to get your town's Linux Install Parties planned and advertised.
Here's my town's https://fxbginstall.party/
Here's a quick how-to guide to spinning one up in your town:
Goals:
- Install Linux on your neighbors' laptops. This preserves older laptops ( #permacomputing #ewaste prevention). This removes people from one part of the surveillance economy. And it saves people money.
- The party should be geared towards NON-TECHIES. This is NOT a Linux Users Group. This is not for enthusiasts. This for folks who just want their computer to work and let them do the basics. Bend the tech to the people, not the people to the tech.
Date and Time:
- Shoot for monthly parties. Try for a specific day of the week. Say the "First Saturday" or "Second Sunday" of every month.
- Easy for folks to remember and if they miss one month, they'll be there the next month
- Try for between two hours to four hours for the event.
- Be consistent. Show up for the full time even if no one shows up. Some times it takes two or three meetings before people start to come regularly.
Location:
- Shoot for a public community area
- The best bet is your local library if they have rooms or conference areas.
- City community centers are good, too
- Also look for religious institutions, civic orgs, or fraternal orgs if need be. It needs to be open to
the public, though, with no requirements to push other agendas on to visitors.
Linux Distro:
- Shoot for a single distro that caters to folks who are new. I usually go for Linux Mint, but go with what you like. Focus on ease of use and familiarity for folks who arent used to Linux or various Desktop Environments.
Waivers & Backups:
- Everyone should sign a waiver. You keep the signed waiver. They can have a copy of the waiver
- Explain that while you and other volunteers will make your best attempt to install Linux, you make no guarantees. You may brick their machine accidentally. And no files that were on the harddrive will remain. Everything will be deleted.
- They should make backups of their files before you start the install process (either online/cloud, or local on a USB)
- Some folks want you to try for a dual-boot, but thats up to you if you want to offer it. Still let them know that you might brick the machine even (especially?) if you try for a dual boot install.
- Example Waiver: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Installfest-HOWTO/legalprotection.html
Advertisements:
- Create a simple brochure website and fliers with info and time and date
- Use words like "Update to a modern, private, and fast operating system. No monthly subscription. No cost. Volunteers will install for you." Appeal to folks whose laptops cant upgrade. "Can't install Windows 11 or 12? Don't throw your laptop away, install Linux. It's free, up to date, and secure" Etc etc.
- Use your town's local social media (eg Town Subreddit, Online/Offline Classifieds, Library Announcements, Town Events Page)
- Post fliers in various coffee shops, libraries, bars, restrooms, and community centers
- Tell other similar groups (hacker spaces, maker spaces, linux groups, etc) both to spread the word and get volunteers
- Word of Mouth: Just tell everyone you run into. And tell them to tell everyone they know.
What to bring:
- Multiple install media/USBs with your Distro on it to install on the laptops
- A couple "Demo Laptops" with your distro of choice installed for people to try out (install games, office suites, common programs for folks to try it out - aim for what people use so various browsers including Firefox and Chrome, Zoom / Teams, LibreOffice, MS Office on browser, browser games, desktop games, etc)
- Your own laptops to do internet lookups and specialized downloads (weird stuff happens - its good to be prepared)
- Extension cables and power strips
- Cheap USBs for last minute backups prior to installation that folks can take home with them
- Some screwdrivers or tools to open up laptops for light repair if you like
What to do:
- Greet folks as they come in and invite them to try out the demos
- Encourage questions and discussions (AVOID DISTRO FLAME WARS OR WHICH WINDOWS MANAGER BEATS WHAT DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT FOR FUCKS SAKE! THESE ARE NORMAL PEOPLE DONT SCARE THEM AWAY WITH YOUR NERD SHIT!!!!)
- If folks brought laptops for installation explain and have them sign their waivers, make sure they know all files will be deleted, ask if they've made backups, and then install!
- Help folks troubleshoot issues or install programs for those that already have Linux installed and need community support
That's it. Make it a regular occurrence and you'll get folks coming in for fresh installs monthly and to ask for help with previous installs. Also a really chill way to meet other folks and have a lovely afternoon.
If you have any questions, post up in this thread.
If you have any suggestions or tips and tricks that have worked at your own Linux Install Party, share with us as well!
Edit to add: The Windows 12... scare?... seems to be a hoax brought upon by AIslop. But there will be a Win12 at some point, and a 13, and so on. And the recent Win11 forced upgrade is what spurred my group to create a Linux Install Party in the first place. It's always best to have a place for folks to land, one that is already running and well established. So, honestly, still in prep for the Windows12 rollout, whenever it comes, get a Linux Install Party going now.

Wer nach dem letzten #microsoft #windows11 Update plötzlich kein funktionierendes #wsl mehr hat, der gehe ins Terminal unter Adminrechten und gibt: "bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto" ein. Nach einem Neustart läuft es dann wieder. Die Zeiten, wo ich den verdammten Arschmaden aus Redmond die Klöten abreissen möchte, kommen immer näher. Aber ich arbeite schon am Ersatz. Deswegen nutze ich ja das WSL . Wenn ich meine ganzen Sachen, welche momentan nur unter Win laufen, so hinbekommen habe, dass sie unter Linux in einer qemu VM inkl. USB laufen, ist bei mir nach fast 40 Jahren das Thema #Microslop abgeschlossen.
💼 Au travail aujourd'hui :
- Démarrer ma VM #Microsoft #Windows 11 qui n'a pas tourné depuis un moment ✅
- Laisser #Windows11 dynamiter les ressources de ma machine ✅
- Redécouvrir toutes ces pubs, ces bloatwares, et cette icône Copilot qui me donnent la gerbe ✅
- Me faire harceler pour réutiliser un compte utilisateur en ligne et OneDrive ✅
- Faire péniblement ce que j'avais prévu avec ladite VM ✅
- Devoir attendre 1 siècle l'extinction du système à causes des MàJ non consenties ✅

Windows 12 is due to come out this year.
1) Your computer does not meet the system requirements. Again.
Why?
Your PC will need a dedicated NPU — a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks. So, if you recently bought a new PC just to use Windows 11, Microsoft wants you to go shopping again.
2) It will finally, unfortunately, introduce a subscription model.
That's right — you read that correctly. They want you to pay and keep paying to use the computer you just bought. Technically, you won’t own your computer while Windows is installed.
NOW is the time to try Linux. Stop waiting. Don’t make excuses. Don’t even complain — we all knew this day was coming. Either try Linux, or admit you’re Microsoft’s little bitch.
Source? Yes, this is real.

This Windows Update Is Causing Serious Problems (Watch Before You Install)
Curiosos los resultados de esta comparativa entre #CachyOS y #Windows11 ejecutando #ResidentEvilRequiem. Sobre la resolución nativa, #Windows gana en un puñado de pruebas, pero CachyOS remonta activando #FSR 3.1 y mejora todavía más si se suma la generación de fotogramas.
Si #Capcom ha implementado bien el FSR 3.1, la experiencia con CachyOS es mejor que con Windows 11, sobre todo si se usa un monitor pequeño o una tele que está lejos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hxh3XDPDqo
He visto un vídeo que se titula:
"Limpieza extrema de Windows 11 en 2026"
A mí se me ocurre:
"Formatea e instala Linux"
Convencido que más extrema imposible.

Microsoft Not Cancelling Printers
Le PC #Microsoft #Windows11 du boulot fait sa mise à jour hebdo classique. Il télécharge 1.7Go de données. 😞
Mais d'après certaines personnes on va sauver le monde en supprimant des e-mails. 😔 (Ministre transition numérique, 2020).
Thread 1/3
Mein AG aus #eu verdient Geld mit #aws #gcp und #azure, ist voll #microsoft Arschkriecher und rät auch noch zu der #spyware verdient am #windows11 rollout.
Intern sind wir im Falle von #ai Nutzung dazu angehalten, unseren "eigenen" Chatbot zu nutzen, der auch nur eine hauseigene WebUI vor #openai #chatgpt in einem Azure Tenant ist. Weil der spioniert ja nicht unsere Geschäftsgeheimnisse aus, das normale ChatGPT oder der #copilot in Windows schon.
Zwischen Weihnachten und Silvester muss ich jetzt auch mal was posten.
Unsere #Daten, unsere #Software, unsere #apps und unsere #Betriebssysteme in gewisser Weise auch (siehe #windows11) sind in der #cloud. Und wenn die nun in #europa steht, statt in den #usa, macht es das für mich nicht besser. Alles ist nur noch "as a service". #gaming, #kommunikation, meine #arbeit - alles ist ein #Abo, alles ist Cloud.
Warum das ein Problem ist, erkläre ich gleich so kurz und verständlich wie ich kann.

RemoveWindowsAI lets you remove Copilot, Recall, and other built-in AI from Windows 11 , reducing telemetry and giving you more control over your OS.
⚠️ This makes deep system changes. Test in a VM first, use backup mode, and read the docs carefully , misuse can break your system.

This week's exciting forays into computing:
🟠 Finally replaced Windows 11 with Debian on my main computer.
🟠 Got one of my many Raspberry Pis to boot entirely from the network greatly reducing my use of stupid SD cards or expensive NVME drives.
🟠 Related to the above, started building my own smart doorbell where no data leaves my network.
🟠 Re-learned the ancient art of making network cables.
How was your week?
