OS? That's bloat, run everything in BIOS.

[–] mossy_@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just put my hands on my keyboard and imagine the code running in my head. I can't understand how people use bloat like hard drives and processing units

Thats way too bloated, I run code in my brain through cryptic dreams and pure Colombian nose candy :3

Since 2002 I've only run demoscene tracker music, no os

func is_os(name:String) -> bool {
    return "OS" in name;
}

BIOS is OS

Operating is bloat, you only need input/output

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Output is mostly wasted, input-only OS, write-only memory.

is there something bad about thus particular one?

[–] cosmictrickster@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

It has been particularly buggy, even by Microsoft standards.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I actually want this update but Windows Update isn't serving it to me yet

It mostly adds AI features. Last time I checked, Microsoft even tells you that there's no need to install it unless you just want to check out the AI stuff.

[–] Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Not to mention the AI stuff is arbitrarily locked to specific laptops.

Aside from the AI stuff it also bakes in some features that everyone used tools for before eg: gsudo is now (somewhat) built-in, compressing files actually has options now aside from just zipping it... But that's about it in terms of interesting stuff for non-AI

You can always use the Windows 11 Upgrade assistant to force it
