you want it running all the servers only, then?
If you want unautomatable, ludicrously expensive, insecure mountains of instability... Go for it👍
I've worked at a company that used windows server and IIS for their internal hosting. Holy hell am I glad I haven't had to touch that piece of garbage since I left. How can anyone take that mess seriously as a webserver?

I haven't written code in 8 months.
My family member who works at Microsoft
But your family member hasn't written code in 8 months!
Mom on trying to understand why I don't like AI
This shit
The obvious outcome of forcing devs to not use their brain
I think it's less that they're not allowed to use their brains, it's more that AI is letting them "write" so much code they can't possibly review or test it all properly.
They... they broke the recycle bin, eh?
So you're just not allowed to delete files anymore?
... I guess that would give them more AI training data and also make people need even more storage so... sure, fuck it, why not.
but it broke onedrive too so the ppl can't even "buy" the storage.
No, read the article
It didn't breakbbreak it just bugged and stuff with internal names od the files and real names and that. Even if it did break users could just use the console but I'm not expecting anyone on wintoes to do that.
Windows has always been hot steaming garbage. Why is this news in 2026.
I guess there is a kind of disaster affinity that keeps people watching out for the newest ways in which it is?
That's not true. XP is awesome!
Is?
Ok... it was... but is...?
I guess you're helping out by absorbing allll the malware 🤔😉
Actually, XP has open source security options and onecore API to run modern apps through a compatibility layer. It's the best time to be using XP and ditch modern systems.

This issue causes internal file names to appear instead of real names in Recycle Bin confirmation dialogs.
TOTALLY BROKEN
ABSOLUTELY UNUSABLE
I suppose headline hyperbole is appropriate for a shitpost, lol
If there's internal file names why the fuck can't I rename a file while it's open in a program?
This operating system is garbage from a design perspective let alone its implementation

Yeah sorry, that's absolutely broken behavior and completely unacceptable, especially for paid software.
Makes me glad I used ReviOS to disable windows update (and I also have no OneDrive or Edge).
And that's only for when I actually need windows, my daily is cachyOS.

Meanwhile, I've seen zero of these issues on windows 11.
Windows sucks, fuck Microsoft, but stories like this are insanely overblown. It remains the most compatible way to play games without hassle.
I'm rooting for Linux, though. Can't wait to switch once it's more widely accepted. Right now I just use it for a few specialized machines and purposes.
Inb4 downvotes and judgements from obnoxious Linux fans.
Windows update managed to get a system I only use for gaming into an unrecoverable state a few months ago. I know a bunch of windows sysadmins, trust me, you've been lucky, stability this year specifically is dogshit.
Also bitlocker has multiple backdoors which is a problem for corporate that I really cannot overstate
Bless your heart.... Never go into IT and for the love of all that is holy, don't get a system admin job... The world is a beautiful place until you're knees deep in the shit
I didn't downvote you (for a couple of reasons¹), but I just wanted to share my experience: I've been playing games exclusively on Linux for a couple of years now, and it generally works well. Of course it depends on what games you play, and so your mileage might vary, but in some cases I even had a better experience on Linux than on Windows. Mostly due to not having to deal with windows shenanigans. (drivers, reboots, the usual).
But I agree with you that these stories are indeed overblown. Current Windows, with all its problems and everything, is still much better than any previous Windows. I'd still avoid it if I could, and you need to do things to make it behave sanely...
[1] The reasons: the downvote is not meant to be a "I don't like this", nor "I don't agree with this", but should be used to signal bad comments: spam, trolls, noise... Plus, I don't think what you said is wrong.
Current Windows, with all its problems and everything, is still much better than any previous Windows
As someone who is forced to use Windows for work, this is just not true. It is SO MUCH SLOWER than Windows 10 or 7

The other day I pressed back on the settings app and it crashed. Never happened on XP.
It happens to everything. I updated my stock rpi’s last night and now rpi connect only works for cli.
That's true to a point, but I feel like Microsoft should have the budget and infrastructure to properly test their releases. A bug every once in a while? Sure. Multiple serious bugs that break major features every year? Pretty embarrassing.
Didn't they go through a lot of effort to not have to have many testers?
They have rolling releases and preview channels for regular users to bugtest for them.
All this money can now be spent where it matters - on a new yacht

Jesus...
What annoys me most about Windows is the deletion mechanism when process else has a file; I can't delete it no matter how many times I try, and I have to reset the computer, lol
End task on explorer.exe and then run it again
File explorer is a shitty thing
